PROJECT OVERVIEW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POLITICS IN COLLAGE <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Collage as a political art form has a particular relevance to today as well as a strong historical context. From its roots in the European anti-facist and Russian revolutionary movements in the early 20th century to its expressions during the U.S. Civil Rights era to its current manifestations in the fight for social justice in South America, collage is used by artists around the world as an impetus for social and political change. Kolaj Magazine has reported on how collage was used to visualize the 2019-2021 Estallido Social<\/a> in Chile which incidentally birthed a new collage community<\/a>. In Fall 2021, Kolaj Institute organized a series of residencies<\/a> in which artists explored the intersection of politics and collage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by G.E. Vogt, the residencies produced a collection of artworks that debuted at Kolaj Fest New Orleans<\/a> <\/strong>in 2022 as an exhibition at The Domino<\/a>. In July 2022, Kolaj Institute released Politics in Collage<\/em>, a book of artwork<\/a>, and an Online Exhibition<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third residency is planned for November 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ONLINE EXHIBITION & BOOK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Politics in Collage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a time where the challenges facing us as individuals and communities have grown to seemingly insurmountable levels, further exacerbated by the increasing toxicity of the political climate, artists are using their work to confront these challenges by engaging their viewers in a higher level of discourse. Through a virtual residency, twenty-five artists created collage works examining complex socio-political issues that contemporary society is contending with, in order to spark meaningful dialogue and inspire deeper engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the main thread running through Politics in Collage<\/em> is \u201cpolitical\u201d in its broadest definition, each artist chose specific issues to explore through the medium of collage. Their artwork allows viewers an opportunity to reflect on various forms of racism, ableism, sexism, and xenophobia; the consequences of colonization and capitalism; the effects of contemporary media; and the eco-grief or anxiety associated with climate change. By using collage, a form composed of juxtaposing a variety of disparate elements together, the artists are able to tell nuanced stories about their highly complex topics, inviting the viewers to regard a potentially overwrought issue from a fresh angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Collage as an art form, is ideally situated for this political work due to its inherent nature of distilling and juxtaposing various elements from the overload of information and sources we\u2019re exposed to on a regular basis, into one cohesive story or statement. Collage allows us to make sense of increasingly complex and interconnected social & political subjects through this selected juxtaposition”<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

FACULTY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

G.E. Vogt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

G.E. Vogt\u2019s entry into the visual arts stemmed out of her original training as a performance artist and director, highly focused on social and political themes. In order to create the physical performance art she was interested in, she would gather \u201cfound\u201d materials from as many arts as possible until the performance pieces became living collages, each telling a visceral story to their audiences. The unique ability of collage to use the juxtaposition of complementary and contradictory elements in order to explore a multi-faceted theme is what drew Vogt to working in collage exclusively. This characteristic of incorporating any medium, material, or found object into telling a complex narrative is what makes it one of the ideal art forms in which to create work about complicated social and political issues. Since 2017, she has exhibited in various group shows across the U.S. In 2019, Fresh Paint Gallery held a major exhibition of Vogt\u2019s work and she spoke on the \u201cWomen In Collage\u201d panel at the annual Kolaj Fest New Orleans. Most recently, she has begun curating the SoPoCollage page to showcase other artists who specialize in social & political collage, and participated in Kolaj Institute\u2019s Money Money Collage Residency. Her works have continued to explore many of the themes she has been interested in since her performance work and which have become increasingly relevant \u2013 the unmanageable socioeconomic gap, the various forms of inequality prevalent in the U.S, and the toxicity of our political climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Burns, the founder of NYU\u2019s multimedia program, described John J Heartfield as \u201ca wonderful blend of the technical and the artistic, a musician with a keen appreciation for the visual arts.\u201d John received a Tisch School of the Arts award \u201cfor pioneering work in interactive media.\u201d John is the paternal grandson of the groundbreaking Dada artist and graphic design genius, John Heartfield. With the artist Lance Hansen, John is writing a graphic novel focusing on his grandfather\u2019s cinematic life. The first chapter, “The Night the Nazis Came to Murder My Grandfather”, appears online and in print in The Nation Magazine<\/em> (April 12, 2021).

Wendy Ann Parker is an art historian currently teaching at Iowa State University. A Vermont native, she moved to the Midwest to do her graduate work at the University of Iowa, home of the International Dada Archives. Wendy\u2019s research is centered on activist art, and her MA Thesis examined the political collage\/photomontage work of Dada artists including John Heartfield, Hannah H\u00f6ch, Raoul Hausmann, and Kurt Schwitters. She is currently finishing a doctoral dissertation focusing on more contemporary artists, particularly Martha Rosler. Wendy is especially interested in how activist artists reach their intended audiences and feels that in today\u2019s culture of visual sophistication, collage is arguably the most potent medium for communicating those messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liucija Dervinyt\u0117<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Liucija Dervinyt\u0117, currently living in Vilnius, Lithuania, is a visual artist and culture manager, a co-founder of Ideas Block cultural organization and Arttice digital cultural networking platform. She studied visual arts and painting in M.K.\u010ciurlionis Art School in Vilnius, and received her BA in Textiles from The University of Edinburgh.

Liucija\u2019s artworks are inspired by natural structures and the ideas of interconnectedness. She works with collage, watercolor and embroidery. Sometimes these techniques intertwine or are used separately, informing one another and expanding on similar ideas or visions. In addition, her collages become covers for her handmade notebooks and embroidery is used in refashioning second-hand clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ginger Sedlarova<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ginger Sedlarova considers herself both a collage artist and a storyteller. Sometimes her work is a short story, sometimes it\u2019s a novel. But it\u2019s always surreal, full of observations about the absurdity of daily life or conversations with the cities she\u2019s lived in, visited and loved. Her practice grew from her love of making photo collages in her former career as a graphic artist on daily newspapers in Canada and on magazines in Central Europe. She first discovered Friedl Dicker-Brandeis\u2019 collages at a show of German and Austrian art of the 1930s at the Neue Gallery in New York and was in awe of Dicker-Brandeis\u2019 use of composition and imagery and her bravery. A Beatlemaniac, Sedlarova lives in Burnaby, British Columbia with her husband and two rescue cats. Her work has appeared in galleries and online shows in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
