🔸🔹🔸CURATING COLLAGE WORKSHOP - JANUARY 2023🔸🔹🔸

I am absolutely delighted to have been accepted to take part in the Kolaj Intitute's Curating Collage Workshop hosted by the illustrious Kolaj Magazine over the course of January and February.

I am really excited to learn more about the various considerations and aspects involved in curating collage exhibitions. The organisers statements create a picture of a wide reaching and in-depth investigation of the exhibition of collage. I am really looking forward to it!

The organisers have this to say:
"Curating is a vital part of art’s function: a curator creates a bridge between artwork and audience. For artists, this process can be confusing and mysterious. The goal of the Curating Collage Workshop is to equip artists with the tools to curate their own work, to work with curators, and build exhibitions that connect with diverse audiences.

The Curating Collage Workshop will focus on the role of the exhibition: How do we exhibit collage? What is needed from collage to function in a commercial gallery, art center, or museum? How do we build exhibitions that go beyond the “Cut and Paste” group show model that is prevalent today? What does it mean to be artist-centric, medium-centric, or viewer-centric in the presentation of collage in exhibition? And the workshop will explore ideas around Curation: What is a curator and what is their role? How do we introduce collage to viewers? How do we build an audience for collage and generate enthusiasm and a sense of value for the work? How do we take collage where it needs to go to reach the viewers it is intended to reach?."
