\u201cCollage takes dead material, a long forgotten Look<\/i> magazine spread or Ford motor car advert, and reintroduces this material into the contemporary visual dialogue. Collage gives the image new life. This is remarkable and unique to the genre.\u201d<\/h1>\n

\"K15-cover\"<\/p>\n

Kolaj #15 delivers a look at the wonderful world of collage: the people who make it and the people who love it. In this issue, we pay particular attention to the source material collage artists are using.<\/p>\n

INSIDE THIS ISSUE<\/h2>\n

Baptised by the Sea in Flayed Skin and Coral Crown<\/i> by Michael Pajon<\/strong> is on the front cover. Pajon is an object maker and a storyteller. The New Orleans artist crafts elaborate, dense compositions inspired by Catholic reliquaries, antique cabinet cards, carnivalesque board games that trade on complex narratives and still-life-esque vanitas. And he does this with a deep understanding of his source material. A profile of him appears in the issue.<\/p>\n

Given that it\u2019s a medium that uses other people\u2019s images, one of the most frequent questions collage artists ask is \u201cCan I Use This?\u201d Stephen M. Specht<\/strong> explores legal issues related to appropriated materials in collage art.<\/p>\n

Julie Doucet<\/strong> has a new book, Carpet Sweeper Tales<\/i>, and we explain why \u201cSister Chevrolet! Oh No knit ntique Ntters\u201d is not a typo and, in fact, part of a brilliant collaged comic.<\/p>\n

In News & Notes, we report on Gestalten\u2019s second volume of Age of Collage<\/i><\/strong>; on what the Collagistas<\/strong> are doing in The Netherlands; on a call to artists for the National Collage Society\u2019s annual Postcard Show<\/strong>; and on the release of Ireland-based Redfoxpress<\/strong>\u2019 collaborative of visual poetry.<\/p>\n

\u201cHunks of meat, that\u2019s what they\u2019re all about.\u201d Claudia Eve Beauchesne interviews Stephen Zerbe<\/strong> about his food collages, Abercrombie & Fitch models, and sandwiches. Rachel Jones reports on feminist collage<\/strong> at the Women\u2019s Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Catherine G. Wagley gives us a profile of Hannelore Baron<\/strong>. \u201cWhat distinguishes Baron most, and makes her an enigma: she didn\u2019t seem to care a bit about pushing the limits, or staking her place in history.\u201d A recent exhibition at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts remembers this fascinating artist.<\/p>\n

We review one of the largest self-published collage collections by a single artist, Guillaume Chiron<\/strong>. The title of his book translates from French to something like \u201cEat the Banana Talk Standing Up\u201d and signals the sort of surreal, absurd, and tasty collages found in Chiron\u2019s book.<\/p>\n

The back cover features We Left It All Behind For This?<\/em> by London, UK artist Ben Owers<\/strong>. His artist portfolio appears in the issue along with portfolios by artists from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; San Anselmo, California; Barcelona, Spain; Vancouver, British Columbia.<\/p>\n

And as always, a Kolaj Artist Directory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
