COLLAGE ON VIEW

Turning the Page

At Johns Creek Arts Center in Johns Creek, Georgia, USA, online only through 30 May 2021. Ellen Kierr Stein of the Atlanta Collage Society says about this exhibit, "The title for this exhibit, 'Turning the Page', highlights the impact of newsprint in terms of content, imagery, and format. Newspapers offer us many components: capsulized information, editorial viewpoints, memorable photos, graphic design, and mass marketing. Our challenge for this exhibit was to select from these elements to create a collage–to convert a functional medium into aesthetic components." MORE

Mystery & Infinity

Berkeley, California, USA. Marlene Walters’ process is focused, meditative and time-intensive. Her collage work stems from a lifelong interest in “things made of smaller things” and evocative and intricate puzzle-like works. They are nest-like while also acknowledging the sense of mystery and infinity a window suggests. MORE

FROM THE ARTIST DIRECTORY

Black Joy, Black Beauty & Blackness

Los Angeles, California, USA. Brandon Brewer's collage work involves the assembly of three elements: Black joy, Black beauty and Blackness, the representations of which he often passively absorbed as a media consumer in his youth. As an adult in the context of quarantine and Black Lives Matter, his art is both an act of self-care and political as he nurtures a pride in Black culture while also actively and positively contributing to it.

COLLAGE ON VIEW

Stripped Bare

Online only at Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg, South Africa through 25 April 2021. Ashraf Jamal writes about Geers' work in the exhibition essay "Point/Blank": First conceived against apartheid, now wracked by global emergency, Kendall Geers’ oeuvre has never lost sight of the death instinct built into Church and State. That we have willed our death, chosen slavery, is Geers’ blistering wager. It is not human perversity that horrifies him, but the dark desire that drives it. For over thirty years he has served as our radical conscience. MORE

The Seaside Fleet Goes to New York City

Those who attended Kolaj Fest New Orleans in 2018 may have encountered JRC's The Seaside Fleet, "a citywide installation made from 1000+ hand folded paper boats.” In May, the Seaside Fleet makes its way to New York City as part of the Art in Odd Places: NORMAL, a festival curated by Furusho von Puttkammer. The artist explained, “It travels and changes dimensions as pieces of the fleet are added and subtracted. A collaborative project, artists and viewers will be invited to add their boats to the fleet as it makes its way through New Orleans, and around the world." MORE
