FROM THE ARTIST DIRECTORYLocus of JoyMontreal, Quebec, Canada. Last year at the age of 70, Will Aitken sat down and made his first collage. Much of Aitken’s work is film-based, re-creating freeze-frames from movies using Japanese Chiyogami decorative paper and film stills. Aitken says “collage is both a relief and a refuge, and a surprising locus of joy.” MORE*****************************Kolaj Magazine, a full color, print magazine, exists to show how the world of collage is rich, layered, and thick with complexity. By remixing history and culture, collage artists forge new thinking. To understand collage is to reshape one’s thinking of art history and redefine the canon of visual culture that informs the present.SUBSCRIBE | CURRENT ISSUE | GET A COPYSIGN UP TO GET EMAILS -- source link
