Made in the months leading up to the artist’s 40th birthday, “Advanced Wound Healing Techniques” is a collection of collage made with personal photographs that were destroyed in a series of fires that took place when artist Robbie Morgan was 24 years old. In the intervening sixteen years, the artist carted around these photographs, moving them from home to home, storing them, occasionally reflecting on them. The collages speak to trauma, destruction, memory and how, as we age, we make sense of things. The artist wrote, \u201cThe collective assemblage allowed me to connect to these memories in a way that I wouldn\u2019t have otherwise been able to if I hadn\u2019t made this work.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition, \u201cAdvanced Wound Healing Techniques\u201d, considers the legacy of photography as physical objects at a time when most photographs exist only as digital ephemera. Curator Ric Kasini Kadour wrote, \u201cPhotographs have always been subject to ephemerality. They get destroyed or lost. Some fade. Morgan\u2019s collage of destroyed photographs invites us to consider what visual legacy we are leaving future generations. Technology quickly becomes outdated and in thirty years, we may not be able to access our photographs or pass them on to our children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Opening Reception will take place on 17 August 2024, 6-9PM, with an Artist & Curator Talk at 7PM. The artist will be present at Bywater Second Saturday Gallery Walk on 14 September 2024, 6-9PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is part of Kolaj Institute\u2019s Photography and Collage Project. In partnership with the New Orleans Photo Alliance, the Photography & Collage project explores the intersection of these two mediums. We ask, What happens when a collagist picks up the camera? What happens when a photographer collages their pictures? Artists at an in-person residency in May 2024 at Kolaj Institute, created artwork that was included in an exhibition at the New Orleans Photo Alliance Gallery, 9 June-28 August 2024. Kolaj Institute hosted a virtual residency in July 2024. After the residency, artists are invited to submit artworks that will be considered for an exhibition at Kolaj Institute in December as part of PhotoNOLA 2024, an annual celebration of photography in New Orleans, produced by the New Orleans Photo Alliance in partnership with museums, galleries, and alternative venues citywide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
