Camera & Collage Opening Reception

Kolaj Institute supports artists, curators, and writers who seek to study, document, & disseminate ideas that deepen our understanding of collage as a medium, a genre, a community, and a 21st century movement

Kolaj Institute

Bringing together artists from Australia, Kuwait, Mexico, Canada, and the United States working at the intersection of collage & photography

The mediums of collage and photography are bound together in an ongoing dialogue. The photographer makes pictures of the world. The collagist remixes those pictures to tell a story about the world we live in. What happens when the photographer begins collaging their own work? What happens when the collage artist picks up the camera?“Camera &amp; Collage” brings together artists from Australia, Kuwait, Mexico, Canada, and the United States each of whom have developed a practice that sits at the intersection of collage and photography. The artwork demonstrates a variety of techniques and approaches. The artists are engaged in collage as process; making art with family archives and found materials; exploring alternative processes; and challenging how we think about images in a world flooded with them. In doing this, the artists invite viewers to consider questions of identity and gender; family and memory; the materiality of photography; and history and artist process.An Opening Reception takes place on Saturday, 14 December 2024, 6-9PM, part of October's Bywater Second Saturday Gallery Walk.The exhibition, “Camera &amp; Collage”, takes place at Kolaj Institute Gallery from 29 November 2024 to 25 January 2025 as part of <a href="https://photonola.org/photonola-2024/" title="https://photonola.org/photonola-2024/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PhotoNOLA 2024</a>, an annual celebration of photography in New Orleans, produced by the New Orleans Photo Alliance in partnership with museums, galleries, and alternative venues citywide.

We produce 8-10 exhibitions a year and participate in Second Saturday, the neighborhood’s monthly art walk, putting the collage art, books and exhibitions in front of New Orleanians and visitors.
