COLLAGE ON VIEW
Dear So-and-So
A Pen Pals Art Show at The Distillery Gallery in Boston, Massachusetts, USA through 29 December 2019. Co-curators Mary Lewey and Helen Popinchalk selected a group of artists working in a variety of mediums to be a part of an experiment. Invited artists were asked to choose a partner (AKA pen pal) and work together, call and response style. For example, one person begins a collection of new work and then turns it over to their partner, trusting them to build upon it. Ideally, the exchange would occur at least three times over the course of one year. MORE

Hopes and Dreams
We thought a lot about the 1987 romantic comedy Mannequin when viewing the collage of Katarina Pusica. Much of collage trades on the reappropriation of images. Sometimes this is done for purely aesthetic reasons. Other times it is an intentional social critique. Pusica’s collages are about finding the hopes and dreams of others. Her Artist Portfolio appears in Kolaj 27. MORE

E.Klips
By Musta Fior (Redfoxpress, 2018). A poetic work on the partial disappearance of female faces that was part of the iconography of the magazines of the 50s, 60s and 70s in advertisements, politics and the artistic world. The artist questions our view of the photographs and images produced by the contemporary society since the post-war period. This is Fior's second title with Redfoxpress. MORE

CURRENT ISSUE
Kolaj #27
In Kolaj #27, we consider the role art collecting plays in the collage scene, remember artists who have recently passed, get introduced to an Inuk artist from the Canadian Arctic, hear about a collaborative model that dates back to the sixteenth century, and learn about the role of uncollage in photography and film. Our goal with every issue is that Kolaj Magazine is essential reading for anyone interested in the role of contemporary collage in art, culture, and society. READ MORE
