“This is a collection you might keep in your pocket as you would a tarot deck, opening it at the corner of the bar to practice cartomancy atop the day\u2019s New York Post.”<\/p>Randy Kennedy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Jarmusch has honed his collage practice, producing hundreds of works using newspaper clippings layered on cardstock. Newsprint imagery is cleverly and humorously manipulated, heads and faces are removed and replaced with juxtaposing or absurd imagery. Doppelg\u00e4nger Andy Warhols are posed in a vast tunnel not unlike the depths of the Large Hadron Collider, Patty Hearst\u2019s mugshots drift across Edwardian portraits, and a man\u2019s identity is disguised with a coyote\u2019s head: maybe he was a celebrity, politician, perp, or all three. In Some Collages<\/em>, these small-scale (notecard-size) pieces not only pay homage to the documentation medium but are a reminder of how even mundane images can be reconfigured into work that is alternatively funny, scary and strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing Jarmusch\u2019s collages is like flipping through the Daily Bugle and suddenly realizing that the paper has been taken over by pranksters who are giving you the real news . . . .Your vision has been corrected. You are no longer semiconsciously scanning now, but sitting upright and paying attention. The world reveals itself for what it really is.<\/p>Luc Sante<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
