Collage/Assemblage

About the Call

Collage, like film, is simultaneously a verb and a noun, an action as well as a result. Its history as a technical innovation and artistic tool begins in China and moves through Japan to medieval Europe, but it is in the 20th century avant-garde that collage emerges as a self-conscious response to modernity. In combining aspects of painting and sculpture, the surface produced by painting and physicality of the sculpted (or found) object, collage became the new grammar in the language of modern art. Today, college and assembly touches every aspect of our culture, from video montage to the construction of modern skyscrapers. Site:Brooklyn is calling for works of collage or assemblage that continue this tradition of combination and exploration.
