COLLAGE ON VIEW
S&WBNO Billing Issues: Collage by New Orleans Artists
at Second Story Gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
8 June-6 July 2024 (during Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2024)
The title of the exhibition, “Sewage & Water Board Billing Issues,” describes an almost universal experience of New Orleanians, something we fear, something we contend with, something we like to complain about. On view is artwork by collage artists who live in or around New Orleans. Collage, like New Orleans, which often plays with the absurdity of life, nonsense, frivolity, and fun, can also take on serious issues and help us make sense of a fragmented world.
Artists featured are Bernadette Birzer, Bethanie Mangigian, Brent Houzenga, Carol Lynch, Caroline Alterman, Carrie Beene, Cassie Tarr, Christopher Kurtz, Emre Karaoglu, Jamie Amdal Hughes, Jill Stoll, Kelly Mueller, Kevin Comarda, Leanne Jaffe, Michael Pajón, Moira Crone, Nonney Oddlokken, Re Howse, Ric Kasini Kadour, Robbie Morgan, and Roxanne Rudov.
The exhibition is part of Kolaj Fest New Orleans, a multi-day festival & symposium about contemporary collage and its role in art, culture, and society, 12-16 June 2024 and will be the site of The Art Party at 7PM on 16 June 2024.
This exhibition is curated by Ric Kasini Kadour.
