COLLAGE ON VIEW
Intarsia
David Crunelle at Zedes Art Gallery in Brussels, Belgium through 22 December 2019. Crunelle engages in an obsessive layering of all sorts of “stories”: postcards from the 1920s through the 1960s; decade-old pictures of New York; communist propaganda posters from China; and surprisingly, photographs from the artist’s own childhood. These collages glisten like radiant jewels. MORE

Declaration of Independence
Lari Pittman at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, California, USA through 5 January 2020. The most comprehensive retrospective in 20 years of the work of this American artist. His highly detailed works on panel and paper—grand tales about love, sex, death, art, and citizenship—feature a rich visual language that he has developed over the course of his four-decade career, replete with owls, Victorian silhouettes, flying text, and exaggerated and sexualized bodies.

Reinventing the Wheel

He writes, "Nearly every decade or so a blue-chip museum takes up collage, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Each time claiming to have discovered this new, interesting, and overlooked medium." MORE

Some Early Visionary Americans
Lesley Dill at Arthur Roger Gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA through 21 December 2019. Themes of contradiction and excess and ecstasy, activism and terrorism, stillness and chaos, repression and freedom, madness and sanity. These extremes have shaped history and fueled the creative process of both the artist and the early Americans to whom she pays homage. MORE

Weekend Plans
Matthew Rose at The New Art Museum in Karuizawa, Japan through 10 January 2020. More than fifty works on canvas and paper, as well as altered objects feature in the artist’s exploration of architectural dream spaces. The collages distill the artist’s abstract and figurative works into a surreal roman à clef, a busy, intricate and confounding autobiography of Rose’s world. MORE

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
