Desperate of being born about 75 years too late, she tries to pick up where the hobbyhorses of the avant-garde left off; rejecting the logic, reason, and aestheticism of modern capitalist society, instead expressing nonsense, irrationality, and anti-bourgeois protest. She has been cutting and pasting since kindergarten. At the age of 18, she wandered to Berlin for the sake of art, only to return 8 years later poor but sexy after years of being a GlueHead. Together with underdog poet Mr. Pelham she forms the cut-up collective Arpsianism. She gave the world the C.U.M. (Cut-Up Manifesto) and strongly believes that collage is the basis of all art and creation. Specimens of her collage art have been self-published in a series of booklets; an agglomeration of collages into blobs and misprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ARTIST CONTACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:info@lulavalletta.com\" target=\"_blank\">click to email<\/a>]<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lulavalletta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.lulavalletta.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IMAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"963\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/lula-valletta-mama.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9118\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/lula-valletta-mama.jpg 700w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/lula-valletta-mama-218x300.jpg 218w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/lula-valletta-mama-210x289.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption><em>mama<\/em><br>paper and glue;
