: ever heard of "who plums you"? More important: usually there is a negative connotation, but as we don't know anything about this exhibition, we can't know which way to twist the meaning.

: interesting research, but we have NO IDEA what is the real intended meaning here - literal? some pun? positive or negative connotation?

Discussion
We know what is the usual meaning of "Papir trpi svašta", but unless this exhibition is about a collection of nonsensical texts, it's some kind of word play/pun, which becomes far trickier to translate.
Any more details about this exhibition?
BTW, he usual intended meaning is:
"you can put on paper whatever you want, paper won't complain if you write nonsense, lies or some pure fantasy"
