Joy in All Its Forms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Friday, 14 June 2024, 10-10:45AM
Cafe Istanbul
Joy often trades on the irrational. Absurdity, whimsy, surrealism, humor, and its stable of cousins draw Joy from the discongruent, the unexpected, the departure from normality. That sounds a lot like collage. In January 2024, Kolaj Institute hosted the artist residency, \u201cJoy as Subject\u201d that saw six artists from across North America come to New Orleans to experience Carnival season and to make art about Joy. They joined the Mystic Krewe of Scissors & Glue in the first annual Paper Parade, where revelers dressed in paper costumes and walked around the neighborhood. Ric Kasini Kadour will speak about this project, debut a short film about joy, and share some of the artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIS SIDE TOWARD SCREEN<\/em> by Ben DiNino
7.75″x7.75″x5.25″; cardboard, chipboard, paper, book board, bookcloth, PVA adhesive, binding thread, matte board, PET transparency film, LED screen, and cord; 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the second part of the session, Ben DiNino will present, THIS SIDE TOWARD SCREEN, a box set of collages made from slide and negative film. \u201cThe book features over one hundred and thirty of these works from the last 5 years. I hand cut and assembled every element of the book using a tortoise-shell binding,\u201d writes DiNino. \u201cThere are 3 types of collages featured in the work. Slide Overlays are pieces created by sandwiching two slides in a slide mount creating a new visual narrative. Slide Collages are created like a traditional paper collage. I cut them up and reassemble the pieces in slide mounts. The third type of work are my Negative Collages which are cut and collaged like the slide collages, except they use film negatives as source material. I have to use intuition and luck to create these negative based works since I can\u2019t see their final look until they are scanned into a positive image.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAILY COLLAGE CONGRESS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Concept of Ma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Andrea Burgay & Katie Blake, Joe Bertino
Saturday, 15 June 2024, 10-10:45AM
Cafe Istanbul
At Saturday\u2019s Daily Collage Congress, Joe Bertino will share the results of the Passing Time Roundtable. Andrea Burgay will speak about Cut Me Up<\/em>, a participatory magazine of visual call and response where each issue presents a call\u2014a curated selection of original collage images that become raw material for reader-artists to respond by cutting, reconfiguring, and transforming them into new artworks. Each issue of Cut Me Up<\/em> includes eighteen reproductions of the selected artworks. Burgay will be joined by Katie Blake, author of the book, What Kind Of Collage Is That?<\/em>, and the guest curator of Cut Me Up<\/em> Issue 13. Burgay and Blake will speak about the Japanese concept of Ma \u9593 which is described as a \u201cpause in time, an interval or emptiness in space.\u201d Blake writes, \u201cThe idea of Ma is to make emptiness into a substance itself. Participating artists are asked to explore this concept through previously untried collage techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
