Immersive Materiality
"Today’s ubiquitous use of found everyday material to enhance an immersive experience in Installation Art traces back to Dadaist notions of collage and the 'ready-made'. This is well reflected in the work of Julie Schenkelberg, Tamara Kostianovsky, Lorrie Fredette, Samuelle Green, and Sabrina Barrios, who through diverse labour-intensive processes create site-responsive environments made of “ready-made” objects and humble material such as paper or fabric, while underscoring socio-political themes," writes Etty Yaniv in Kolaj 26. Her article, "Immersive Materiality", reviews and contextualizes the collage-heavy medium of Installation Art in light of the work of five female artists. MORE

Truth • Will • Art
One of Hitler’s first orders under the Enabling Act was to send the SS to murder John Heartfield. "Heartfield, a Berlin resident, had risked his life for years to use his art 'as a weapon' to expose and mock Hitler and his ugly vision for humanity," writes the artist's grandson. John J Heartfield is the paternal grandson of the famous collage artist and the curator of The Official John Heartfield Exhibition. His reflection on the collagist’s place in contemporary political art appears in Kolaj #26. MORE

Revolutionary Paths
When the collage is presented in exhibition, it is often done so without the critical framework granted other mediums.

Each work in the exhibition represents the potential for deeper inquiry and further curatorial exploration of the medium. MORE
EXHIBITION CATALOG
Cultural Decontructions
Collage is unique as a medium in that it uses as its material artifacts from the world itself. To harvest those fragments, the artist must first deconstruct culture; they must select, cut, and remove the elements they do not wish to use and then reconstruct work that tells a new story. In "Cultural Deconstructions: Critical Issues in Collage", exhibition curator Ric Kasini Kadour presents examples of collage artists who are deconstructing identity as a way to critique culture. MORE
