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

Curatorial Issues in Collage<\/h2>\n

Last year, at Kolaj Fest New Orleans, we began a conversation about how we put collage into the world. The topic was the subject of a panel presentation and the focus of the exhibition, “Revolutionary Paths: Critical Issues in Collage”<\/a>, in which all of the work was a starting point of deeper curatorial inquiry. This year, we pick up that conversation.<\/p>\n

Using the Kolaj Fest New Orleans<\/a> exhibition, “Cultural Deconstructions”<\/a>, as a launching point, this session will explore how we put collage into the world.<\/p>\n

Part 1 will focus on The Exhibitions. How do we exhibit collage? What is needed from collage to function in a commercial gallery, art center, or museum? How do we build exhibitions that go beyond the \u201cCut and Paste\u201d group show model that is prevalent today? What does it mean to be artist-centric, medium-centric, or viewer-centric in the presentation of collage in exhibition?<\/p>\n

Part 2 will explore ideas around Curation. What is a curator and what is their role? How do we introduce collage to viewers? How do we build an audience for collage and generate enthusiasm and a sense of value for the work? How do we take collage where it needs to go to reach the viewers it is intended to reach?<\/p>\n

Part 3 will focus on Publishing. Consider this: The book, not the gallery wall, is the better vehicle to expose collage to the public. While it is possible to work large and create immersive or experiential work that museums and art centers increasingly demand, most collage is small and intimate. The medium lends itself well to narrative. If we accept the artist book as being on par with the exhibition, how do we present and promote collage books?<\/p>\n

The session will be facilitated by Ric Kasini Kadour and involve the exhibition artists and others with experience on these topics. The goal of this session is to use the expertise of the artists and other presenters as well as the participants in the room to rigorously investigate these issues with an eye towards how we do our work in the coming year and beyond.<\/p>\n
