Paper Apartment Building
This was my lockdown project. An apartment building built entirely from paper (except for the lights).

I was planning on doing this book later in the year but I also didn’t expect an alternate history about a slow slide into fascism to be so relevant. Add it to Handmaid’s Tale for your required reading for the new reality.
The gate is from Inspector Carmichael’s description when he first approaches the estate.
This might be my most favorite series ever. Jo Walton is a goddamn genius.

CALL TO ARTISTS
POST IT!
Deadline: Sunday, 8 May 2022. Three years after the World Collage Atlas project, COUPEE launches a brand new project for World Collage Day. A huge exposition of hundreds of small collages, made by artists all over the world. But to achieve this they need you to spread the word, and to make lots of tiny Post it collages. The submitted collages will be exhibited the weekend of World Collage Day at de Krook, Ghent, Belgium’s public library and new tourist hotspot. Afterwards, a selection of the collages will be printed as Post-It blocs and the collection will be available for other expositions worldwide! 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.

KAOS 2022 Open Call: Silence in Chaos
Deadline: Thursday, 5 May 2022. This year, the KAOS Festival of Contemporary Collage is questioning the meaning of silence, exploring the relationship between silence and sound and the visual. The jury will select 22 works from all the submissions, which will be exhibited in the form of printed digital collages and sound collages as part of a group exhibition at Layer House, Kranj, Slovenia and at street gallery Na mestu. Kolaj Institute’s Coordinator, Christopher Kurts, is on the jury this year. Kurts writes, “As a fan of plunderphonics and remix culture I’m excited to see the diversity of interpretations for this theme. How does one represent silence through sound and visuals?” MORE

Look Around
Deadline: Wednesday, 20 April 2022 at 11:59PM EDT (0359 UTC). As part of World Collage Day 2022, Quebec Collage invites amateur and professional collagists from around the world to participate in “Look Around” by creating a circular collage. This project is inspired by the meditative exercises of the Japanese Enso. Participants are called on to explore their individuality, beauty, imagination, promotional gestures, and intuition. “Look Around” invites the participants to make their own circle, create within that space, and then open up to others by looking without judgment at their works, contemplating and marveling at their diversity.

Collagists in the Archives
Deadline: Sunday, 17 April 2022. The materials collage artists use for the artwork can play a critical role in the work’s meaning and how it makes its way into the world. Historical archives, when one understands how to use them, can be fruitful grounds. In this virtual Residency, held in May 2022, collage artists will learn how to work with an archive to build a project that speaks to themes of community and history. Centered around the Stewart-Swift Research Center at the Henry Sheldon Museum in Middlebury, Vermont, participating artists will explore their collections and develop tools they can use to work with archives in their home communities. During the residency, artists will make a collage and write a brief statement about the material used and what the collage says about community, the material in the archive and its history. The resulting artwork will be considered for an exhibition at the Henry Sheldon Museum and for inclusion in a folio of prints and a book. MORE
