WORKSHOP REPORT
Ashley Pryor Geiger mines photography archives for material which she transforms using digital apps as a way of drawing out hidden dimensions and narratives. At Tulane University Special Collections, she found a trove of glass plate negatives by Joseph Woodson “Pops” Whitesell (1876-1958) that offered her a trove of material. Geiger “deconstructs and recomposes their identity, their fragmented souls,” explains Curator Valentina Granello. “Through her digital collage practice, she tried to find an answer to give to these creatures, to connect and complete their missing part in a contemporary vision.” MORE
In the coming weeks, Kolaj Magazine will share Reports from the Curating Collage Workshop that took place in Fall 2020 with the University of Vermont’s Fleming Museum. 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.
