FROM THE ARTIST DIRECTORY
Karen Moss
The themes for each period of my art have emerged from my environment, travels, reading and the political/social climate of the time. In the late 60s, as a recent graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, I was living in London where I encountered the art of Eduardo Paolozzi, whose work on paper was composed of Pop Art imagery mixed with complex patterning. This inspired me to use collage as a medium. British culture provided consumer catalogs, wrapping papers and comics as materials. My most recent work focuses on scenes of blighted urban environments, including images of homelessness and decay. This work integrates hand painted or drawn elements with images found in magazines and newspapers. MORE
COLLAGE BOOKS
Collective vs. Collective
A collaborative publishing project between Con Artist Collective and Brooklyn Collage Collective. Founded by Morgan Jesse Lappin in 2013, the Brooklyn Collage Collective‘s goal is to orchestrate and hold both local and international collage exhibits. The Con Artist Collective is a platform for artists to network, gain exposure, and share skills and knowledge with one another. The book features forty full colour reproductions of collage work and is available from the Brooklyn Collage Collective’s website. MORE
COLLAGE ON VIEW
Vinylism
Edinburgh Collage Collective at The Tent Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland through 14 July 2018. The exhibition showcases the rich and diverse range of contemporary collage processes and celebrates the sharing of inspiration as artists connect and forge ideas globally. Like collage, the vinyl record is a physical, analogue medium. It is both an art object in its own right and a mechanism for expressing ideas. This commonality made it an ideal subject for their project. The response was overwhelming, with submissions from as far afield as Australia, Canada and Peru. The works vary widely in style and process, but all share the same two strands of visual DNA: collage and the vinyl record. MORE

Revolutionary Paths
Critical Issues in Collage at Antenna Gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, 11 July-5 August 2018. Collage has a rich history of spawning new thinking about artmaking. The history of 20th century art is littered with examples of artists who cut and pasted their way into artistic advancement. And yet, when the collage is presented in exhibition, it is often done so without the critical framework granted other mediums. In this exhibition, curator Ric Kasini Kadour presents examples of collage that represent various aspects and takes on the medium. Each work in the exhibition represents the potential for deeper inquiry and further curatorial exploration of the medium. “Revolutionary Paths: Critical Issues in Collage” is the primary exhibition of Kolaj Fest New Orleans.

KOLAJ #22
Kolaj #22 delivers a look at the wonderful world of contemporary collage: the people who make it and the people who love it. Belgian artist Strook‘s building-sized collage is on the cover of the issue. In her profile of the artist, Etty Yaniv writes, "The found wood pieces Strook fuses in his assemblages and the imagery he depicts in his collaged paintings manifest an act of revival: allocating fragmented elements of decay by making an artistic use for them and out of them."
