Revolutionary Paths: Critical Issues in Collage
 Revolutionary Paths: Critical Issues in Collagecurated by Ric Kasini Kadour‘Revolutionary Paths’ collage expo at Antenna is pure poetry Collage has a rich history of spawning new thinking about artmaking. The history of 20th century art is littered with examples of artists who cut and pasted their way into artistic advancement. Collagists are creating innovative artwork and large gestures; sought-after illustrations; and marketable work that speaks to people. Art publishers churn out books that celebrate collage. An enthusiastic community of artists is organized online, forming active collectives, and holding popular meetings. And yet, when the collage is presented in exhibition, it is often done so without the critical framework granted other mediums. In “Revolutionary Paths: Critical Issues in Collage”, exhibition curator Ric Kasini Kadour presents examples of collage that represent various aspects and takes on the medium. Each work in the exhibition represents the potential for deeper inquiry and further curatorial exploration of the medium.
