\nCOLLAGE TAXONOMY FROM KOLAJ 21<\/p>\n

Collage Play<\/h2>\n

The Collage Taxonomy Project is an ongoing survey of the wider collage community that attempts to define the language we use to talk about collage. Visit the project\u2019s website to suggest words or contribute definitions. In Kolaj<\/em> 21, we explore the idea of Collage Play: “When an artist or artists assemble imagery without concern for meaning or concept.” In the magazine, Ric Kasini Kadour examines how this concept plays out in the collage zine, Anleitung zur Ersten Hilfe bei Unf\u00e4llen<\/em> (or Instructions for first aid in the case of accidents) by Stefan Heuer and Susanna Lakner. Kadour writes:<\/p>\n

“Too often, we mislabel this work as surrealism. I propose it is not. Surrealism is a strategy for artmaking in which the irrational juxtaposition of images is intended to unleash the artist and viewer\u2019s creative potential of the unconscious mind. That combination of intention and technique is the opposite of Collage Play, which I would define as artist or artists assembling imagery without concern for meaning or concept.”<\/h2>\n
