Imagination and Collage Exhibition

The CAA Services to Artists Committee is seeking collage artists for the exhibition below.

Imagination and Collage

Collage relies upon profound mixture of the images and materials being used, with the ability to show things beyond the realities and meanings of the “original” source material. It invites us to recognize relationships made possible through the fragmenting, recontextualizing, and reimagining of already existing images in the world. The “cut-up” is a powerful medium to enact change and ignite imaginations, as is apparent in the history of modern collage from Cubism and Dadaism to contemporary exploration of analog and digital collage that contends with the overwhelming abundance of readily accessible images and visual information. The artist collective General Idea’s popular slogan, “Cut up or shut up” is a statement that has become increasingly valid with the rise of the Internet and digital media, pushing the limits of how we think and approach the idea of collage. This exhibition invites artists to submit artwork that explores both collage and collage aesthetics; highlighting in particular the important qualities of this medium, that are tied to social and cultural critique. Collage offers us a way to (re)think and (re)imagine ideas of the present and the future.

Emerging and established artists experimenting or working in collage are welcome to apply.
