Grassroots Discourse<\/h2>\n

A profile of the Brooklyn Collage Collective<\/h3>\n

Etty Yaniv writes in Kolaj<\/em> #19<\/a>, “The rules of the Brooklyn Collage Collective are pretty hardcore. To start with, member initiation involves putting together a collage using a hundred clippings in three minutes, while hanging upside down blindfolded.” Her cheeky beginning quickly gets into a serious look at the Brooklyn Collage Collective. This group can be seen as part of a growing trend of artist collectives that have sprouted in creative hotspots like Bushwick. These are typically grassroots groups based on overall shared aesthetics or medium, and led by entrepreneurial founders who combine a clear artistic vision with business acumen. Yaniv introduces readers to founder Morgan Jesse Lappin and members of the collective. Their mission is to pave the way for both future collage artists and collage art collectors, broadening the definition of collage through collaborative exhibitions, live collaging events, education and discourse.<\/p>\n

Their themes range from Lappin\u2019s fascination with imagery of Bushwick\u2019s above ground subways, old industrial buildings, graffiti, and urban architecture, to their newest member Sajjad\u2019s interest in coalescing banknotes from around the world.<\/em><\/h2>\n
