\"K16-COVER\"<\/h2>\n

Kolaj #16 delivers a look at the wonderful world of contemporary collage: the people who make it and the people who love it.<\/h2>\n

INSIDE THIS ISSUE<\/h1>\n

In the issue, Jenny Hampe<\/strong> tells the tale of how she went from American suburbanite to Norwegian goat herder to collage artist. It\u2019s quite a ride and a story about how the drive to make art always wins out in the end. A collage by Hampe is on the front cover. The back cover features Loan Officer<\/em> by Canadian artist Danielle Cole<\/strong>. Her artist portfolio appears in the issue along with portfolios by artists from Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.<\/p>\n

Kolaj<\/em> Editor Ric Kasini Kadour<\/strong>‘s editorial is a departure from our regular format. His discussion about the “soft power” of art is a call to artists during these turbulent times.<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9 van der Wende profiles collagist Varujan Boghosian<\/strong>, who turns 90 this year. He writes, \u201cBoghosian explored construction and collage with lyrical play and emotive depth for over six decades, and still works and fires in the studio most days.\u201d<\/p>\n

In collage book news, The Collagemonauts<\/strong> released a comic book, Collagemonauts Volume 1: To the Center of the Microverse<\/em>. Terri Lloyd<\/strong>‘s new book, When I Grow Up and Other Mantras<\/strong>, features her iconic star, Pink Buddha. We review both of these titles.<\/p>\n

Zach Collins<\/strong>, who with Laura Tringali Holmes, published We Said Hello and Shook Hands<\/em>, an epic, 270-page book of collaborative collages. A testament to medium\u2019s unique suitability to collaboration, the book contains over 500 works with 100 different artists. Kolaj Magazine<\/em> has asked Collins to contribute a series of articles on collaboration, the first of which appears in the issue.<\/p>\n

With collage, one might argue that collaboration is naturally part of the process, that the use of source materials is a passive collaboration with the original creators. Artists select pieces that speak to them and in doing so they are collaborating with the photographer, designer, or editor that produced the materials. Once selected, glued, cut, torn, sanded and put on display in a physical gallery or shared online, a collaboration with the rest of the world occurs.<\/em><\/h2>\n

-from \u201cHow I Became a Collaborator: How a Collage Artist Found Community\u201d by Zach Collins<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Collage Taxonomy Project<\/strong> is an ongoing survey of the wider collage community that attempts to define the language we use to talk about collage.\u00a0In the first in a series of articles from this project, Ric Kasini Kadour writes about \u201cThe Cut.\u201d He writes, \u201cCutting strikes me as the first step in collage making and, yet, it is something we speak little about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dian Parker profiles Galen Cheney<\/strong> and explains why \u201clately she has taken up shredding her older paintings and assembling the pieces onto blank canvas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Exhibition-in-Print<\/strong> features work in the “Collagism: A Survey of Contemporary Collage” show at Museum Strathroy-Caradoc in Strathroy, Ontario, Canada, curated by Christian Julien Siroyt.<\/p>\n

In News & Notes, we report on a collage book created in honour of the Queen’s 90th birthday<\/strong>; a show of collage by Larry Walker<\/strong> at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. in New York; information on how Montreal artist Anouk Sug\u00e0r<\/strong>‘s collages are being used to fight cancer; and a call to artists<\/strong> for Kolaj Magazine<\/em>‘s upcoming animated collage exhibition. And as always, a Kolaj Artist Directory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
