AT KOLAJ FEST NEW ORLEANS<\/p>\n

Revolutionary Paths: Critical Issues in Collage<\/h2>\n

at Antenna Gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
\n11 July-5 August 2018<\/h3>\n

\u201cEven before that, Picasso had glimpsed and entered, for a moment, a certain revolutionary path in which no one had preceded him. It was as though, in that instant, he had felt the flatness of collage as too constricting and had suddenly tried to escape all the way back–or forward–to literal three-dimensionality. This he did by using utterly literal means to carry the forward push of the collage (and of Cubism in general) literally into the literal space in front of the picture plane.\u201d –Clement Greenberg, ARTnews<\/em>, September 1958<\/p>\n

Collage has a rich history of spawning new thinking about artmaking. The history of 20th century art is littered with examples of artists who cut and pasted their way into artistic advancement. Collagists are creating innovative artwork and large gestures; sought-after illustrations; and marketable work that speaks to people. Art publishers churn out books that celebrate collage. An enthusiastic community of artists is organized online, forming active collectives, and holding popular meetings. And yet, when the collage is presented in exhibition, it is often done so without the critical framework granted other mediums. In “Revolutionary Paths: Critical Issues in Collage”, exhibition curator Ric Kasini Kadour presents examples of collage that represent various aspects and takes on the medium. Each work in the exhibition represents the potential for deeper inquiry and further curatorial exploration of the medium.<\/p>\n
