*GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM: 'ZARINA: PAPER LIKE SKIN'
(through April 21) "Paper is an organic material, almost like human skin," the artist Zarina Hashmi has said. In her exhibition at the guggenheim, it's that and more: paper is sculpture, poetry, currency and, above all, a kind of permanent home for a nomadic spirit. Her art speaks poignantly, through sometimes opaquely of relocation and exile; works like the 2001 woodcut "Dividing Line"refer to the violent 1947 partition of India and Pakistan, while "Ten Thousand Things," a set of small paper collages recreating works from her oeuvre, nods to Duchamp's museum-in-a-suitcase. Left, "Shadow House," made of cut nepalese paper, is from 2006. 1071 Fifth Avenue, at 89th Street, (212) 423 3500, guggenheim.org
