Cut Me Up: Souvenir<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Concourse A Gallery at Albany International Airport in Albany, New York, USA
through 27 December 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cut Me Up<\/em> is a participatory magazine of visual call and response. Each issue presents a call: a curated selection of original collage images that will become the raw material for reader-artists to respond to by cutting, reconfiguring and transforming into new artworks. The newly created responses will form the content of the next issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Souvenir” was conceived and curated by Albany Airport Art & Culture Program Director Kathy Greenwood upon an invitation from Cut Me Up<\/em>\u2019s Andrea Burgay. The exhibition includes the eighteen artists selected for the print edition of Issue 11, as well as six additional artists from the call\u2019s pool of submissions. In the spirit of offering a more expansive view of souvenirs, this exhibition also includes some specially invited guests. The artists Katharine Umsted and Cut Me Up<\/em>\u2019s founder, Andrea Burgay, both independently created a series of works based upon postcards that they called “Wish You Were Here”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mnemosyne Towers, World\u2019s Fair, NYC, 2030<\/em> by Michael Oatman with Tom Roland

Michael Oatman produced Stella by Starlight<\/em> out of two seemingly unrelated souvenirs, Frank Stella\u2019s 1971 Museum of Modern Art retrospective catalog, and Astronomy<\/em>, a British astronomy textbook from 1966. Oatman\u2019s compositions and their relationship to his life-long interest in space travel serve as potent companions to the souvenir collection of Albany Airport\u2019s very own Virgil Sager. Since he was a boy, Sager has been compiling news articles and memorabilia about space travel, and a portion of his vast and interesting collection is on view here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Airport marks the 25th Anniversary of its Art & Culture Program in 2023, it seems fitting to reflect upon the way that objects and images can remind us of the places we\u2019ve been as well as those we long to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
