WORLD COLLAGE DAY | KOLAJ FEST NEW ORLEANS
FROM THE SPECIAL EDITION
The World of Collage
From art to objects to book making, Hiroshima, Japan's Koji Nagai continues in the tradition set out by Tadanori Yokoo and Shinro Ohtake. “I live a simple life and the simple life brings me to the world of collage. I truly love collage and I live in the world of collage everyday,” writes Nagai who notes he “generates ideas for collages based on my first impression of the materials.” MORE
COLLAGE ON VIEW
Gone Rogue Montage
At the Marconi Gallery in the ME Hotel, London, United Kingdom through 10 May 2019. Holly-Anne Buck (image) created Collagism as a vehicle to explore collage and further her quest to collage the universe. Crossing medium and type, Bonnie and Clyde’s work takes the form of screen-prints, large-scale originals on paper and wood, as well as 3D installation pieces. Fei Alexeli has created murals in Brooklyn, New York and her work has been shown at art fairs in Europe and the United States. Victoria Topping's pieces are created through building up multiple textures and images and combining these to develop a distinct visual language, using recurring motifs. Maria Rivans' artwork intertwines fragments of vintage ephemera, often with reference to film and TV, to spin bizarre and dreamlike tales. MORE

The Body Is Work
HATCH artists-in-residence, Hale Ekinci with Shir Ende and Mayumi Lake at the Chicago Artists Coalition in Chicago, Illnois, USA through 9 May 2019. The exhibition asks, if artists make specific objects, are artists then specific bodies? Considering the works of Ekinci, Ende, and Lake, this exhibition proposes the specific body as a paradigm to comprehend the interlacings of objecthood, artistic labor, and, subjectivity. Works in the show represent a range of material and formal strategies that question authorship and agency, to produce new understandings of the artist’s studio practice. MORE

Control of Chaos
Arnaud Sagnier is a collagist, photographer and freelance graphic designer who lives and works near Lille, France. He writes, “Using advertising codes, I compose, I play with shapes, colours, typos. I create, from posters, clippings, a pop and rhythmic visual for a harmonious, original and surprising graphic rendering.” His collage, MF55, appears on the cover of Kolaj 25. MORE
