FROM KOLAJ 28
Unequal Twins
In the current issue of the print magazine, we profile Sabine Remy’s collaborative artist book project, Die ungleichen Zwillinge. The Düsseldorf-based artist collaborates with an international array of collagists to make artist books using the iconic titles of the Insel-Bücherei series. MORE
FROM KOLAJ 28
Giant Asian Girls
Vermont artist Misoo's "The Giant Asian Girls" is an acrylic painting and collage series that contemplates the unique intersection of gender-based violence and racial stereotypes for Asian women living in the United States. In one aspect, the work is a counterbalance to the western “fetishization” of Asian women, and in another, it is a fantasy narrative about the privilege of size. A portfolio of her work appears in Kolaj 28. MORE
COLLAGE BOOKS
A User’s Manual
By Jiří Kolář (Twisted Spoon Press, 2019). Taking the form of directives, largely absurd, the poems mock communist society’s officialese while offering readers an opportunity to create their own poetics by performing the given directions. The collages on the facing pages to the poems are composed of layered documents, image cutouts, newspaper clippings, announcements, letter fragments, reports, or decontextualized words, oftentimes forming concrete patterns or the outlines of figures, to create a sort of “evidential” report on the year. MORE
Each issue of Kolaj Magazine is dedicated to reviewing and surveying contemporary collage with an international perspective. We are interested in collage as a medium, a genre, a community, and a 21st century art movement.

COLLAGE ON VIEW
Electrum
David Crunelle in Virtual Exhibition from Brussels, Belgium, 16 April-12 May 2020.
