RESIDENCY UPDATE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collage as Street Art Residency: New Orleans<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

at the Kolaj Institute Studio at The School Art Studios
4-11 June 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A week-long, in-person residency that coincides with Kolaj Fest New Orleans (7-11 June 2023), during which artists will explore the city, learn about the history and materials of street art, and make artwork for public display that Kolaj Fest attendees and New Orleanians will be able to view. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Residency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this week-long, project-driven collage residency, artists will delve into the history, methods and major artists of the \u201cstreet art\u201d 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

This residency is an extension of the ongoing Kolaj Street Krewe<\/a> project, an informal group of artists interested in this subject, which explores the role of collage in street art as a practice and phenomenon. The group formed out of a chance meeting of FANCLUB13, Rosie Schinners, and Laurie O\u2019Brien at\u00a0Kolaj Fest New Orleans in 2018<\/a>. Realizing the three of them shared an interest in collage street art, they decided to form a group and pitch a project at\u00a0Kolaj Fest New Orleans in 2019<\/a>. During COVID-19, the Krewe led a forum as part of Kolaj LIVE Online which resulted in a Call to Artists. This history is documented in the book,\u00a0Wallflowers: Collage as Street Art<\/a><\/em>. Today, the project manifests as residencies, presentations, articles, and publications. <\/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\u2019s 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 Rosie Schinners will be speaking during the residency about scaling up your work for larger pieces, alternate styles of placement such as her Dystopian Reader project, and other advice regarding tools and materials useful to the street artist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artists will arrive in New Orleans on the Sunday before Kolaj Fest begins and will spend the next three days coming together to learn about the work and methods of several established artists and discuss new techniques and strategies, with topics such as Placement, Materials, Visibility, Message, and Legality. Each day, we will challenge participants to get their work out onto the streets, document the process, and share it with the group for discussion and critique. There will be sanctioned walls where artists will have permission to put up their work and during Kolaj Fest attendees will be encouraged to seek them out as they tour the city. Once Kolaj Fest starts, the artists in this residency will be let loose from the formal sessions and encouraged to participate in Kolaj Fest programming while also keeping an eye out for street art opportunities. As Kolaj Fest comes to an end, the residency will meet once more on Sunday to debrief and digest the experience together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Participating Artists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kolaj Institute is excited to announce the ten artists from Canada and across the United States that were selected to participate in the week-long residency in New Orleans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meghan Larimer<\/strong> is a multidisciplinary designer and artist located in Brooklyn, New York. While her art is influenced heavily by a career in design, it is meant to be an antithesis to the daily grind of pixel-pushing for money-hungry corporations. Collage for her is a space in which there are no restrictions or design briefs, only worlds to be made of paper and ideas that can be as chaotic and nonsensical as she chooses. She is a founding member of the New York Collage Ensemble<\/a>, a collaborative community of New York-based artists that support and show their work together. Together, they have shown their work in New York as well as France and Norway. Meghan hopes to continue showing her work nationally and internationally and reach audiences that connect with her dreamy paper worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristina Corre<\/strong> maintains a studio practice primarily exploring the possibilities of hand-cut collage from the scale of intimate hand-cut compositions to larger installation experiences. Originally trained at the Carleton University School of Architecture, her quiet work continues to be guided by lessons of the importance of narratives, a love of materiality, meticulousness in her craft, and the careful, thoughtful use of space. Kristina’s work has been exhibited at Gallery 101 Ottawa, The Embassy of the Philippines in Canada, Hashtag Gallery Toronto, Pineapple Lab Manila, The Ottawa City Hall Art Gallery, House of PainT Festival, and Studio Sixty-Six Commercial Gallery. Kristina’s work is also regularly collected at annual fundraisers in support of SAW Gallery and the Ottawa Art Gallery. Two unexpected joys Kristina has discovered through her practice are commissioned\/editorial works, and facilitating hands-on workshops. Kristina delights in working closely with patrons, filmmakers, jewelry makers, magazine publishers, and restaurants to bring the nuances of their stories to life. Notable projects include the poster for the feature film Scarborough<\/em>, a custom original collage for Kaya Filipino Restaurant in Orlando, and custom awards pieces for the Inter Pares Peter Gillespie Social Justice Awards. Kristina loves sharing her love of collage, and has led workshops for small groups, high school art classes, and at art organizations including Possible Worlds, The Canada Council Art Bank, BEING Studio, Pineapple Lab, Carleton University Art Gallery, and the National Gallery of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her art explores and dabbles in the themes of spirituality, ancient and ancestral wisdom, nature & afro-futurism through storytelling, collaging, and the building\/re-building of worlds. Her work is also heavily influenced by her spiritual journey as she loves exploring the spirit world with God, her Ancestors & her Spirit Team.

Re’ Howse<\/strong> found herself yet again setting up a studio in Lafourche parish after Hurricane Katrina forced her little family to move from their damaged New Orleans home. Born on June 18th, 1965, the result of the love of a rocket scientist\/jazz drummer and a Tahitian island beauty, Howse has been surrounded by art all her life. Her youth was spent surfing, sunbathing, and beachcombing, but at night she sprayed her art in the abundance of abandoned buildings that dot the metropolis of Los Angeles. At the age of 36, she quit her public relations job and returned to school, earning an Associate degree in Applied Arts from Harbor College in California. Known for her brightly colorful spray-painted pop icons and portraits, Howse chose this form to begin the relaunch of her art career in the South. She first displayed her graffiti portraits in 2008 at Art After Dark in Houma, Louisiana. She has since gathered a loyal following of collectors locally and across the globe. Additionally, Howse pursues a more serious body of work in her abstracts that contain her signature circles and she is also the co-owner of SeaGem Studios. A line of ceramics that are inspired by the sea, the coastline, and culture. Their line is sold at fine retailers across New Orleans and beyond. During the pandemic, she started a Design and Float flower company, FlowerPowerNOLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faculty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FANCLUB13<\/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. 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 FANCLUB13 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

Rosie Schinners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rosie Schinners is a collage artist who resides on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. She holds a Bachelor of Art from the University of Guelph as well as a Bachelor of Fine Art from NSCAD University in Halifax. Focusing on painting during her formal art education, this sensibility was integrated into her approach to collage art as a primary medium. In 2019, she was selected as Kolaj Magazine’s featured World Collage Day artist and is a founding member of the Kolaj Street Krewe, an initiative celebrating collage as street art. Working primarily with vintage imagery, Schinners looks to explore and express fleeting moments of magic, alchemy, and nostalgia. One particular definition of alchemy is \u2018a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination\u2019. This alchemy can also be thought of as the invisible energies that surround us, things we cannot see which can make us feel connected or disconnected from the people and places we interact with. Schinners attempts to make that unseen energy visible, whether as magical blooms of flowers, crowds of connected people, or bursts of raw color. Recent work has explored concepts of the feminine, relationships to the natural world, and nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christopher Kurts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Christopher Kurts is a storyteller and artist in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is the Coordinator for Kolaj Institute, where he has organized artist labs, residencies, workshops, and forums which have often led to exhibitions and publications. In this role, Kurts acted as the Art Director for Kolaj Institute\u2019s Oh, Money! Money! by Eleanor H. Porter, illustrated and interpreted by contemporary collage artists. His own work recently appeared in the exhibition, “Empty Columns are a Place to Dream” which debuted in August 2021 during the 53rd Annual Birr Vintage Week & Arts Festival in Birr, County Offaly, Ireland. In January 2022, Kolaj Institute published a book about the project and the exhibition traveled to the Knoxville Museum of Art in Knoxville, Tennessee. Kurts is also the co-founder and lead organizer for the Mystic Krewe of Scissors and Glue<\/a>, a group of creatives in New Orleans who meet monthly to collage, converse, and foster community. Along with the Krewe, Kurts helped organize \u201cUnfamiliar Vegetables”, a group exhibition for Kolaj Fest New Orleans in July 2019, which was later published as a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
