COLLAGE ON VIEW

Going Ape

George Schneeman at Pavel Zoubok Gallery in New York City through 4 November 2017. The exhibition highlights the spontaneous play between images and words that George Schneeman’s collaborative style fostered in his life and work, focusing on a series of paintings the artist made with poet Bill Berkson (1939-2016). Schneeman (1934-2009) was a painter, collagist, and ceramicist. Berkson wrote, “My sense is that our collaborations proceeded, with participants sometimes as numerous as three or four at time, as if in a trance. The trance tended to favor the momentary punster—or at any rate one who will take the lid off word or phrase and transcribe the static-y emanations that accrue. Verbal doodling indulged, it fell to George to unify the often contentious elements.” MORE

Handmade

Vik Muniz at Galeria Elba Benitez in Madrid through 30 November 2017. The exhibition consists of a series of works in which Muniz combines physical objects and photographic images, often juxtaposing or overlaying the two so as to create hybrid, image-objects that blur the line between material presence and representational reproduction — in other words, between “real” and “represented”. In stylistic terms, most of the images reference various strands of 20th-century abstraction, although without the direct quotation of iconic works that has been a signature of Muniz’s in the past. Their execution is meticulous while tending toward the low-tech: strips of twine are overlaid onto a photograph of strips of twine, the two coming together to form an intricately tessellated pattern; colored snippets of paper and a photograph of colored snippets of paper meld together seamlessly into a similarly colorful whole; circles of felt and a photograph of circles of felt occupy the same layered yet uninterrupted visual plane.

FROM KOLAJ #20

Distortion, Glitch, & Melding

Kolaj #20 cover artist ChangGang Lee employs distortion, glitch, and melding to make analogue collage that uses vintage media to tell timeless stories in a contemporary manner.

You Are Here NYC

Art, Information, and Mapping at Pratt Manhattan Gallery in New York City through 15 November 2017. The exhibition features New York City maps and cartography-based artworks. The exhibition features a selection of contemporary artists, designers, and data analysts who address a question currently surfacing in the art/design zeitgeist: in what forms can information visualization become art, and how can artists make data visible?
