I absolutely adore your trash tarot deck! What inspired you? How'd you begin? What materials do you use? I am so inspired to create my own. Is this alright??

thank you so much that means a lot!! it is absolutely ok for you to make your own tarot deck.

i'm not the first person to do this kind of thing -- i saw a couple of different versions of collage tarot decks which stuck with me and inspired me to make my own. there's these 2 tiktoks with people adhering more closely to the "trash tarot" theme: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSN6Vt7GN/ and https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSN6VvwUC/ and also this deck by a collagist/multimedia artist: https://twitter.com/FrogboiArt/status/1681076700568756226

there are a bunch of decks out there which you can draw inspiration from. as for where i started, i kind of just had the idea for the six of pentacles (gum packet with pink labelling stickers) and went from there. just go where your ideas take u honestly.

more info under the cut

in terms of how i make them, i take some stock paper and use a tarot card to trace 2 tarot-card-rectangles on to it, next to each other with the long side connected. then i cut it out, fold it in half down the centre line and glue the sides together. i like to stick it under a stack of heavy book so it dries properly. then i round out the edges with scissors nd voila u have the base of a tarot card!!

i get the materials to make the collage from: old magazines, textbooks, artbooks, informative books with diagrams etc, labels, packaging, and receipts. certain things are printed out (disco elysium gunmen and eli sunday fanart lol). use whatever u want!

i tried a couple of approaches to pick the design of the cards. one was researching the meanings/histories of the card. i found out that when tarot cards had more explicitly christian imagery, judas was on the hanged man card, so i put him on the hanged man ((im not christian lol i just think its interesting))).

another was doing more satirical/subversive? designs of the cards. eg strength usually has a woman overpowering a lion and i saw the image for my strength card and thought it would be funny if it were the opposite way around. the emperor card is an image of someone giving a speech at the UN, which i found in a politics textbook, with the speaker coloured over.

another was just looking at what i had and trying to make something out of it. i was finding way more guns than swords or blades for my suit of swords, so i decided for my suit of swords to just be any weapons.

i wrote a lot . anyway i hope this helps sorry if it makes 0 sense

She is most known for her collage style that consists of black-and-white photographs, overlaid with declarative captions, stated in white-on-red Futura Bold Oblique or Helvetica Ultra Condensed text. The phrases in her works often include pronouns such as "you", "your", "I", "we", and "they", addressing cultural constructions of power, identity, consumerism, and sexuality. Kruger's artistic mediums include photography, sculpture, graphic design, architecture, as well as video and audio installations. Via Wikipedia

Sunshine Refugees 14 X 11 Mixed media collage..

Is Collage both singular and plural? This is the shit that bothers me, collages, collaging? And my brain will not Google it, no no, I have to think it through. I will be posting more collage here and try to find other collagists?

I saw that little girl twice, maybe three times. She was younger than me and well, I like older women so hence the woman on the left and the one on top, who doesn’t know if she’s levitating or being levitated. I'm just fucking around. I must have been 8 or 9 in that photo, my sister was 19. The little girl was the daughter of a young woman my sister was friends with. My sister’s friend was reserved, humble, soft spoken, you know, the opposite of my sister. I always wondered why she befriended her. Loneliness and a new place can do that. So one day in Little Havana one of them had just gotten a Polaroid camera and decided to take a picture of me and Teresa, that was the little girls name. The sun in the 60's was different, it was happy.

Blog #1 - Vis. Comm.

Barbara Kruger is an American artist and collagist who is best known for her black-and-white photographs overlaid with “white-on-red declarative captions”. These pieces of art usually include the use of pronouns, such as “I”, “you”, “we”, and “they” as a way to better address issues of power, identity, consumerism, sexuality, and more (Wikipedia). Her pronoun use acts as a way of bringing the viewer into the piece, which creates connection on a very intimate and personal level. Kruger is most famous for her word art, which has been displayed in museums across the globe. Some of her most famous works have displayed phrases such as “I shop therefore I am”, “Your body is a battleground”, and “You are not yourself” (Wikipedia). Although short in length, these phrases have been extremely influential to many who have viewed Kruger’s work. Kruger’s innate ability to comment on such complex topics such as feminism and consumerism with so little words is one of the things that makes her so inspiring. Kruger has stated that her time spent studying graphic design in school was “the biggest influence on [her] work” (The Broad).

In the early 1970’s, Kruger first began to showcase her artwork in galleries around New York City. At the time, she was mainly working with weaving and painting, but she felt as though her work lacked meaning, which actually caused her to quit making art for an entire year (The Broad). However, in 1977, Kruger began making art again, which was when she began working in her iconic collage style.

Kruger is a known advocate for women’s reproductive rights, and has been for many years. In 1989, for the Women’s March On Washington in Washington D.C., Kruger created a poster which pictured a woman's face split into two, with one side edited to be extremely overexposed. In white-on-red lettering overtop of this photograph, the poster read “Your body is a battleground”. This poster would go on to be one of Kruger’s most famous pieces of art, and a year after the march in 1990, the piece would be displayed on a billboard at the Ohio State University (Wikipedia).

Kruger is still practicing activism through her artwork today. In 2016, she created a piece for the New York magazine, in which she protested against the election of Donald Trump (Wikipedia). She continues to make many different forms of art today, many pieces of which can be viewed in both New York and London (Wikipedia).

Assignment 1

Barbara Kruger is an American conceptual artist and collagist most known for her collage style that consists of black-and-white photographs, overlaid with declarative captions. She takes images from the mass media and pastes words over them, big, bold extracts of text—adages, questions, slogans. These words, when isolated, and artfully displayed in Kruger’s gaze, force you to think harder about the casual cliches and catchphrases.

Kruger uses images that are taken away from their original context in magazines and sets them as the background against which she emblazons confrontational phrases. From her use of classic Helvetica font to her jarring palette of red, white, and black, each element of the final artwork is crucial to its effectiveness as both an artistic expression and a protest against facets of postmodern life.

She merges common graphic design styles with unexpected phrases in order to catch the viewer's attention using the language of contemporary publications, advertisements, or magazines. Rather than attempting to sell a product, her works aim to sell an idea to the viewer that is meant to generate a fresh look at one's immediate context. She uses the viewers mind against them, forcing them to make meaning out of her work, taking on a cognitive approach to art.

One particularly famous example of Kruger’s work is ��Your body is a battleground” where she uses her signature red, black, and white palette with a woman's face split along a vertical axis, showing the photographic positive and negative sides, insinuating there is an inner struggle of good versus evil. The political and social implications of the work are obvious but Kruger highlights the directness of her meaning by having her subject stare straight ahead through the print, frankly addressing the viewer with both her gaze and the words emblazoned across her face. The message undoubtedly confronts the issue of the continued feminist struggle, connecting the physical form of women to the modern society that continues to endeavor for female rights.

Today I decided to mix it up a little… I took a different sketch I drew awhile back, of a woman eating ice cream, and I used this in #wombo #dreamai to make about 20 different versions, which basically involves regenerating and pulling the one I like and then generating again from that one. It doesn’t always work and sometimes I clearly should have stopped well before I did, since it does seem that, just like rolling dough, there’s a point after which it’s overworked and you might as well toss it in the rubbish bin and start over. I was at an #artshow last weekend, and was talking to one of the artists there, she takes her paintings that don’t make the grade and cuts them into pieces, and then she works on putting the pieces together in a new way. What a great idea. If you would like to buy a copy, lmk. I have a fantastic pro printer, and several different #NFT accounts, I would be happy to #mint an nft for you. So here’s my #funstartoftheweek for this week! #fsotw #funstartoftheweek121 #creativechallenge #collage #collageart #collagecommunity #thecollagecommunity #collageartist #artchallenge #collagecollective #dreamincollage #azartist #femaleartist #supportlocalartists #collageeveryday #collagiste #surrealism #surrealistart #streetart #artprompt #holidaygiftideas — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/D3H7b4j

Suburban gem | Encyclopedia of the rebellious woman

Sara Hébert stumbles across a thrift store one day on the paparmane pink cover of The Canadian Woman’s Encyclopedia (1966), in which Michelle Tisseyre offers “solutions to women to resolve the problems which assail them”. The same ambition drives suburban gem, although in a much more punk spirit. “I wondered, says the author and collagist, what would we find in women’s magazines if the girls we…

And the Infanta frowned, and her dainty rose-leaf lips curled in pretty disdain. "For the future let those who come to play with me have no hearts", she cried, and she ran into the garden. Oscar Wilde.

FROM KOLAJ #24

Big Important Art Book

Danielle Krysa's new art book makes us jealous. A review appears in Kolaj #24. "Books about contemporary art are difficult because of their potential to age quickly or to put too much emphasis on artists whose moment doesn’t last. A Big Important Art Book, Now With Women: Profiles of Unstoppable Female Artists by Danielle Krysa is completely different." This is the fourth title from Kyrsa, the powerhouse behind The Jealous Curatorblog. MORE

Our goal with every printed issue is that Kolaj Magazine is essential reading for anyone interested in the role of contemporary collage in art, culture, and society. Kolaj #24 is no different.
