Exhibition STATE OF ASSEMBLY is the first such extensive, cross-sectional presentation of contemporary collage, a visual art form engaged in an ongoing dialogue with the world, its images, artifacts, and other cultural texts. It reflects the complexity of our reality, situated in late capitalism, on the threshold of climate catastrophe, and in the shadow of growing social radicalization. The medium becomes a counterargument to the status quo, and time – a vision of the future.
The collage technique materializes the specificity of a contemporary perspective, one that is constantly constructed from shards of reality. Images, stimuli, and events flow in the rushing stream of everyday life – a stream that has long since ceased to be manageable. From fragments, joined together, emerge identities, opinions, dreams, fears, and restless dreams.
The STATE OF ASSEMBLY presents intimate stories, minority voices, explorations of social tensions, traces of war, narratives of illness, fantasies of utopia, and celebrations of everyday tenderness. From paper collage, through assemblages, to sculptural objects, this diversity also resonates in the wide range of expressive possibilities within the collage technique.”
