COLLAGE RESIDENCY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kolaj Institute Announces Artists Selected for the Collage as Street Art Residency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kolaj Institute is pleased to announce the fourteen artists selected to participate in the Collage as Street Art Residency, July 2021. In this 4-week, project-driven collage residency, artists will delve into the history, methods and major artists of the “street art” movement with a particular emphasis on collage. Participants will endeavor to put some of those methods into practice, taking their collage art out into the streets. Documenting the entire process will be integral to the project, as the resulting work will be published in a Kolaj Street Krewe book to be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading the residency is Lance Rothstein, aka FANCLUB 13, who has been creating street art for over 20 years in over 25 US cities and 31 European cities. Rothstein writes, \u201cI consider my work to be a bit like archaeology, collecting the discarded items from people’s everyday lives and rearranging them in new relationships. Then I usually send them back out to the streets in this new form, with a new purpose. I look forward to continuing my personal scavenger hunt, finding little trashy treasures and combining them into intricate relationships for people to come across on the streets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each week, collage artists will join in an online session where we\u2019ll highlight the work and methods of several established artists. We\u2019ll discuss new techniques and strategies, with topics such as Placement, Materials, Visibility, Message, and Legality. Each week, we will challenge participants to get their work out onto the streets, document the process, and share it with the group the following week for discussion and critique. During the residency, at least one additional guest Street Artist will discuss their methods and experiences with the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the concepts addressed during the residency include: What is Collage and what isn\u2019t Collage? What are your artistic goals? How can Street Art add to your artistic process? Who is your audience? How\/Why\/Where should it be seen? Where should you put it to achieve the audience you want? Do you want to remain anonymous? How is this affecting your own consideration of the artworks? How does Street Art differ from more traditional forms of art exhibition? Letting go of your artwork and letting the artwork find its own audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brittany DiMauro<\/strong> is a New York City based collage artist who uses discarded materials to create intricate visual works that delve into complex issues regarding the malleability of the mind and its exploitation through the advent of celebrity, consciously using iconography sourced from both contemporary and ancient works of art to further evidence and support this theory.  The practice of collage art has been a serendipitous journey for the New England born artist who spent their youth in the eighties and nineties as an outsider in an insidiously homogeneous environment where they learned early on to rely on resourcefulness and creativity as a means of personal liberation and relatability to the world.  After coming to New York in 2006 DiMauro worked in various roles of film production, ultimately deciding that the pathway to purpose was through total commitment to the materialization of their own works of art rather than the facilitation of others\u2019.  Paper and glue are the only materials used throughout the artists\u2019 collections with the exception of the Canvas Series which diverges slightly from the more typical pieces that are built using the motif of a picture frame as the composition\u2019s anchor.  More recently DiMauro has brought their work outside, enlarging the original collage and giving it a new home in the wild using her own method of wheatpasting.  Their work can currently be seen in Brooklyn, NY and Hoboken, NJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celia Crane<\/strong> is a collage artist, writer and independent curator who left a decades-long marketing career in 2019 to concentrate on creative work. In April 2020 she created Vayo<\/a><\/em>, the first dedicated collage gallery in Rochester, New York. Since then she has collaborated with hundreds of collage artists from around the world to expand the public\u2019s knowledge and appreciation of the collage medium. Invigorated by the materiality and potentiality of scraps, Crane creates her offbeat analog collages from the vast supply of printed material and ephemera she amassed over a lifetime of collecting. Her work has been published by Cut Me Up, Kolaj,<\/em> and H\u0131n\u00e7 m<\/em>agazines as well as by Paris Collage Collective, Collage Lab and Fragmented Collective. In summer 2020, her collage It\u2019s Hard to See the Picture When You\u2019re Inside the Frame<\/em> became a permanent part of the historic Kanyer Art Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emily Tironi<\/strong> was born and raised in Cambridge, NY in 1996. She was born with a muscle disease causing weakness and fatigue and the use of a wheelchair for long distances. She enjoyed all types of art since childhood and grew up entering her art in the Washington County Fair. Throughout high school, she loved art class and used drawing, painting and collage as an outlet for her struggles and a way to express herself. After graduating high school in 2014, she attended SUNY Adirondack and pursued a degree in media arts. Here, she discovered photography and began to photograph nature around her. In 2016, several of her photos were published in SUNY Adirondack\u2019s literary magazine, Expressions. She also received SUNY Adirondack\u2019s Parnassus Award in Graphic Arts. She graduated and transferred to CUNY School of Professional Studies in 2016 to pursue a degree in Disability Studies. While studying disability in cultural and societal aspects, she began to use her experiences as a person with a disability in her art. Studying Frida Kahlo in college, Emily was inspired by her surrealist style and expression of disability and self in her work. She was inspired to do larger, more layered works after taking an online workshop with outsider artist, Anne Grgich. She combines layered paper images and bright colors to create complicated pieces with unique messages. Her collages have been shown at area galleries and published in art publications. Her work was selected for the 31 Women exhibit at the Sedona Arts Center and she was part of the Emerging Artists 2020 exhibition at Limner Gallery in Hudson, NY. In August 2020, Emily had her first solo exhibition at Southern Vermont Art Center in Manchester, Vt. Throughout the pandemic, she has participated in several online artist residencies and exhibitions. Emily currently lives in Cambridge, NY and works on her collages daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guti\u00e9rrez’s interest in collage is oriented to work with young people and adults in the education and healthcare sectors through participatory methods, integrating other artistic techniques, in order to promote self-care, gender violence awareness and most recently, help through the grieving process due to the loss of a loved one as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Guti\u00e9rrez writes, “I believe in the power of the arts for therapeutic and learning purposes, and I am motivated to demonstrate this by conducting qualitative and arts-based research that can contribute to the development of social policies in Peru both in rural and urban contexts.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michele Taber<\/strong> is an artist in transition. Taber had been a prolific painter in oil and cold wax, practiced daily, and participated in group, individual, and juried shows. Her paintings had been included in juried shows up and down the east coast including New York and Washington D.C. Taber was riding high up and until she started noticing her skin changing. After a 5-year-odyssey of wrong turns and misdiagnoses, Taber learned that affliction was psoriasis and its trigger was trauma to the skin. Taber’s painting practice was recursive, she built up and took down layers of paint by scrapping, dissolving, and rolling crumpled paper into the surface. It was, at times, aggressive, physical and demanding. Taber writes, “I totally lost myself in it. It was also trauma-inducing and I knew I had to step away. I began looking for another medium to express my ideas. I (re)discovered collage.” The more Taber has been practicing the more she has realized how collage encompassed primal emotions not found in painting like the fun of the hunt, thrill of a great acquisition, and the angst of letting go of a good find. She also found it a good fit to her work which has been process-focused. In all of Taber’s work, you can see the start, middle, and end. She strives for novels, not summaries. She’s drawn to the lack of perfection that says a person made this, not a machine, and, to the patina of age. Taber was born and raised in the quiet suburbs of upstate NY and currently resides in Harrisburg, PA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Miriam Ancis<\/strong> was an artist she was a rabbi, but she never believed in God. Now she experiences faith every day through art. Originally from California, Ancis graduated from U.C. Berkeley in History then studied to become a reform rabbi. Mid-way through the program, Ancis realized she was an artist. While continuing with the rabbinic program part-time, with an academic focus on the anthropology of visual symbols, she also enrolled in sculpture classes at the Parsons School of Design. After ordination, Parsons accepted her into the MFA program. The next phase of her life intertwined personal change (marriage and children) with professional pursuits (sculpting, performing life cycle events, teaching, creating an online museum for kids and teens). Over time, because Ancis’ affiliations and commitments had taken her far afield from rabbinic work, she let that title go. Ancis now works exclusively as an artist. Early in her career, the In Khan Gallery in SoHo represented Ancis and gave her a solo and two-person show. In addition to appearing in group shows and being in private collections, she was awarded a residency in Paris through the Fantasy Foundation and, in 2016, at the Sam & Adele Golden Foundation. In 2019, Ancis was granted a ceramics residency in Lima, Peru with Cotto Design. Most recently, she has been in two and three person shows at 490 Gallery, Chashama, NYC and the Cleveland West Arts League. Her work has been featured in Sculpture.org, Tupelo Quarterly<\/em> and art and design publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Street Life<\/em> by Simone L\u00f6hndorf. Courtesy of the artist.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was an aha-moment for Simone L\u00f6hndorf<\/strong>, when she realized that there actually is a common thread weaving through the different aspects of her life. This thread is to do with meaning. Meaning making, meaning interpretation, and meaning in context. As a cognitive linguist, L\u00f6hndorf studies how meaning is made with language, how concepts are used, and how meaning is not stable, but changes with context. As a collagist, she is engaging with exactly the same process, only with images, instead of words. We human beings are meaning makers. Whatever we encounter, we try to make sense of it. Most things that meet our ears and eyes, however, are conventionalized messages, which do not require much conscious effort on our part, to interpret. That is good, as it is economic. It makes it possible for us to communicate quickly and effortlessly. Taking concepts out of their conventional context and intentionally or unintentionally create unexpected meanings, to draw attention to unconventional, yet highly meaningful content is one of the purposes of Art. Whether this meaning is concrete or abstract, whether created with words, tones, or pictures, is less important. In L\u00f6hndorf’s collages, she often focuses on human experience and human emotion. Collage making is a highly intuitive process for her, where she plays around with juxtaposing contrasting elements. L\u00f6hndorf does this both visually by using color and size, and conceptually, for example, by using materials from different time periods. Sometimes the meanings created are funny, sometimes serious. Sometimes they are transparent and sometimes they are opaque. Those things are for the viewer to decide. Three of her collages are represented in the Kanyer Art Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lance Rothstein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“FANCLUB 13” is the street art collage persona of Lance Rothstein. He has been making collages with trash and found objects, then leaving them out on the streets since 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A professional photojournalist by trade, he\u2019s worked for many major newspapers and publications throughout the US and Europe, but he returned to his art school roots after moving to Belgium with his wife in 2009 and dove headfirst into producing several forms of Street Art. \u201cI began leaving my little collage pieces everywhere I traveled, mostly working with objects found on the streets of the cities I visited, and making the artworks late at night in my hotel room before posting them up on the street the following day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rothstein prefers the dubious methods of posting street art and mail art, but has also had some more traditional exhibitions. His artwork has been shown in many local Belgian and Florida galleries, but also in Brooklyn, Detroit, Chicago, Pasadena, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, New Orleans, London, and Paris. His work has been featured in Kolaj Magazine<\/em>, Be a Pal<\/em> magazine, Unfamiliar Vegetables<\/em>, and Circulaire 132<\/em>. Works of his are also in the permanent collection of the Doug + Laurie Kanyer Art Collection in Yakima, Washington as well as The Schwitters\u2019 Army Collection of Collage Art at MERZ Gallery in Sanquhar, Scotland, and the Postcards for Democracy traveling collection by Mark Mothersbaugh and Beatie Wolf, opening first at the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery in Fort Myers, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Performa\/Printed Matter NYC 2015 Chelsea exhibition, “Please Add to and Return to Ray Johnson”, also included one his works, as did the 10th Anniversary \u201cA Book About Death\u201d exhibition at the Islip Art Museum in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rothstein first attended Kolaj Fest New Orleans in 2018, and helped run Kolaj Fest New Orleans workshops as a presenting artist in 2019, and was a panelist for the Kolaj LIVE Online session, “Public Space, Street Art, and Collage: Kolaj Street Krewe” in July 2020. Additionally, he teaches collage workshops at the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he runs the photographic darkroom, and teaches photography to adults and teens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
