COLLAGE BOOKS

Labzine

by Laboratoria de Collage de Madrid. This fanzine, with the theme "book titles" collects the collages made at the last meeting of the Madrid Collage Lab in March 2020 before the confinement. The Madrid Collage Lab is a space for experimentation and creation around collage. Twenty-four Madrid Collage Lab collagists contributed work to this zine. 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.

Eternal Pain - The Severed Head of Medusa.   1913.

Felipe Jesús Consalvos emigrated from Cuba to Miami around 1920 and later moved to Brooklyn and Philadelphia. Working as a cigar wrapper, at one time in a Schmidt cigar factory in New York, he obtained books and stamps that he cut up and incorporated into collages. Magazine illustrations, maps, postcards, Mexican woodcuts, currency, etc., combine in pieces that are at first glance vibrant, immediate, and reliant on repetition, but are actually more subtle and occasionally include political overtones or a poetic embedding of words and language.

Textile workers. Margaret Bourke White. Social studies; intermediate grades. Book 3.1938.
