Muralism

Muralism in Kolaj #29 is the second part in a year-long series of articles that investigates the strategies and approaches artists use to go big, increase the scale of their work, and engage with the larger art world. We report on two examples of mural making: Black Warrior River Mural by Teresa Cribelli in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and the CollabSlab at Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2019 by the Mystic Krewe of Scissors & Glue.

Kolaj Magazine, a full colour, print magazine, exists to show how the world of collage is rich, layered, and thick with complexity. By remixing history and culture, collage artists forge new thinking. To understand collage is to reshape one’s thinking of art history and redefine the canon of visual culture that informs the present.

A conversation between artists Clive Knights and Andrea Burgay that evolved from a discussion planned for Kolaj Fest New Orleans introduces the atypical collage practices of both artists. Their dialogue focuses on the use of physical methods of excavation as a metaphor for ideas that drive their work. MORE

SYMPOSIUM PANEL

Women in Collage

From the #MeToo movement to unprecedented political gains in the recent election in the United States, the voices of woman are getting louder and being heard more. Women are engaged in all sorts of collage making and as we see time and time again, when the axis of art history is shifted from painting to collage, suddenly the work of countless women artists becomes pivotal to understanding the evolution of art history. Dafna Steinberg will host a panel at Kolaj Fest New Orleans that presents the work of Steinberg; Elke Desutter; Beth Guipe Hall; G. E. Vogt and opens a dialogue about the role of women as makers of collage and as the subjects of collage works. MORE
