COLLAGE ON VIEW
Give Me Some Moments
Lorna Simpson at Hauser & Wirth in New York City. Online only: ongoing. Simpson builds upon themes that are essential to her practice: the nature of representation, identity, gender, race, and history, which are all central to contemporary culture and American life today. The new collages, some made during the COVID-19 quarantine, feature a series of female and male protagonists, often the focal point of the compositions, whom Simpson splices with architectural features, animals, and natural elements to create scenarios that are at once poetic and arresting.

Battle Cry
Meggan Joy at J. Rinehart Gallery in Seattle, Washington, USA through 25 July 2020. Their bodies are made of thousands of individual photographs of botanicals, insects and other wildlife--resulting in a final image that is bursting with life and layered with hidden details and anecdotes. Color and texture form each woman’s shape, and from the photographs of once living individual things, portraits of ethereal beings begin to emerge. MORE

Good Luck Country
Vanessa Compton at The Brinton Museum in Big Horn, Wyoming, USA. Through 30 June 2020. Virtual online reception: Saturday, 13 June, 7PM MDT. Collagist Vanessa Compton presents work with "sourced images of cowboys, cacti, craggy rock formations, and other iterations of the western visual vernacular feature heavily in my mixed media collages. These oft-romanticized icons of Americana can reflect a darker side of our nation’s past and its reverberations into the present." MORE

The Body As Land and The Land As Body
Gallup, New Mexico, USA. Karen Fischer strives to illustrate landscape and its marriage to the body, frequently exploring the requirements that society places upon the female body, mental health, and rage. Fischer writes, “In recent years I visited a studio in southern New Mexico that was entirely devoted to the art of collage. Knowing that a universe of artists existed piecing together their own vision and history required me to turn around and treat my own work seriously.” MORE
