COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n

Elemental Construction<\/h2>\n

at the Boettcher Cultural Pavilion in Denver, Colorado, USA
\n19 January-7 April 2019<\/h3>\n

At its most basic, collage is the assemblage of different materials to create a new whole. Materials can come from books, magazines, found imagery, the Internet, or virtually anywhere, creating limitless opportunities for artists.<\/p>\n

Increasingly, photographers are embracing digital software and source materials to create work that pushes the boundaries of the medium. This exhibit takes a fresh look at how photographers today use collage to deconstruct and reconstruct narratives using a mix of new, digital technologies and more traditional approaches.<\/p>\n

For example, in her series “Grand Illusion”, Theresa Ganz utilizes software glitches in a Museum View tool from Google Cultural Institute to create jagged compositions of museum interiors that evoke a sense of dislocation. Susan Hopp builds digital collages using screen shots from social media sites, reforming them into landscapes that challenge our idea of place. Heather Oelklaus takes a hands-on approach, weaving strips of silver gelatin and inkjet prints together to explore themes of nostalgia and stereotypes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This special off-site exhibit is presented by the Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC) and curated by executive director Samantha Johnston in celebration of the Month of Photography (MoP), a biennial celebration of fine art photography with hundreds of events throughout the Denver Metro region in March and April 2019.<\/p>\n

Other artists in the show include Odette England, Susan Goldstein, George P. Perez, Holly Roberts, Joe Rudko, Vanessa Woods, and Mario Zoots.<\/p>\n
