Collage on Screen is a project of Kolaj Institute that explores collage and the moving image, a broad, loosely defined category that includes animations, film cut-ups, collage film, stop-motion, documentaries about collage artists, and other forms of media in which collage–as medium or genre–is present.Admission to Collage on Screen is free for those registered for Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2024. A limited number of tickets are available for the general public at $10.00.This year's program features selections curated by Lisa Barcy, whose collage was chosen for the cover of the first Kolaj Fest New Orleans program in 2018 and a regular participant in the festival. She is an award-winning filmmaker and collage artist whose films have screened internationally at many film festivals. In addition to gallery exhibitions and short films, Barcy created music videos for Andrew Bird, and projections for dance and theater companies. She teaches animation at DePaul University in Chicago. "I am pleased as punch to return to Kolaj Fest New Orleans with a new program of films." The program includes prolific animator Janie Geiser, films by the late filmmakers Doug Haynes and Helen Hill, and a range of animated films featuring both handmade and digital techniques. Barcy writes, "While every collage animation line-up is a collage in and of itself, from social satire to personal narrative, what they have in common is their own idiosyncratic poetry, and a treasure trove of found images as a point of inspiration." The second half of the program will feature works made during Kolaj Institute’s Collage on Screen Artist Residency, a five-week program designed to support artists who want to develop a practice that includes motion in their artmaking. The artists worked virtually over five weeks in Summer 2023 where they explored the history of collage on screen and the various ways that collage makes its way to the screen and how collage artists operate in the space of moving images and sound. They considered these ideas: "Unlike two-dimensional art, collage on screen is temporal art, meaning it moves through time. Because of this, viewers experience Collage on Screen not as a linear series of images but as an immersive experience." This residency asked, "How do we, as collage artists, make artwork that speaks to that?" After the residency, the artists continued to develop their films with an eye towards screening them at Kolaj Fest New Orleans. After the screening Lisa Barcy will facilitate a Q&A session with filmmakers in attendance: Emily Denlinger, Kathryn Kim, LaVonna Varnado Brown, Suzanne Greenberg, and Martin Mulcahy.For the Collage in Motion project, <a href="https://kolajinstitute.org/" title="https://kolajinstitute.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kolaj Institute</a> sees its role not as one of defining “collage in motion”, but as one of asking what “collage in motion” can be.
