>>> Does anyone know of any other major exhibitions out there?

Robert, Laura, and anyone else out there who still may want to chime in here.

@Robert, wow that is really an impressive list covering almost two decades!

Thank you so much for preparing such an extensive list. I’m interested to know 
what would your top selection would be, and why, from an artistic point of view?

And have to say, I’m really curious about the 1998 Xerox PARC exhibit. It seems 
an unusual location, albeit apt now that we look at how Origami has now well 
and truly become enveloped with technology. Do you have any catalogues or 
relics from the 

best, Matthew

Back in the late 1950s, the Cooper Union had an exhibition of origami, a
few pictures of which appear in Randlett's Best of Origami. I don't recall
more details, perhaps others can fill in.

I have picked the listings above from my list of exhibitions that I've
participated in, which you can find here:

http://langorigami.com/exhibitions


In the above, I didn't include ones that I was the only origami artist, or
ones that weren't primarily origami. Many of the links and descriptions on
my listing have died over the years, alas. (I would appreciate any
corrections or updates.)

Hope this helps!
