“REMIX: Selections from the International Collage Center”
Unlike other artistic practices, the palette of collage is infinite, utilizing sources from the quotidian to the precious. Collage is woven through the history of modern and contemporary art, and every material is permissible and ripe for reinterpretation. Collage artists reconstruct fragments from the “real” world into new realms that are simultaneously recognizable and wholly fantastical.
REMIX weaves the narrative of collage through the history of modern and contemporary art. The exhibition features 100 artists, whose work utilizes “collage’s core conceptual traits” (heterogeneity, fragmentation, and appropriation) to address the circumstances of their times. The International Collage Center, based in Milton, Pennsylvania, USA, was founded by gallerist Pavel Zoubok and is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and appreciation of collage, as well as assemblage, photomontage, and mixed-media installation.
REMIX is a travelling exhibition whose stops include galleries in Missouri, Pennsylvania, New York, Tennessee, and Maine. A full-colour catalogue is available from the ICC.
