Mix and Match collage show
I submitted an entry for the show “Mix and Match” which is a juried travelling collage exhibition. Presented by GO! (Global Opportunities in the Visual Arts). Sadly I was not chosen, however I took immediate delight in receiving the list of those chosen because guess what?! They are collage artists and I can’t get enough of this medium. The artists are:
PETULA BLOOMFIELD; SUSAN GONSALEZ SMITH; PETER GORDON; CHAMBLISS GIOBBI; PETER LEWIS; RYAN SARAH MURPHY; MARGARET NOEL; and MATT PHILLIPS
Mix and Match will take place at Hampden Gallery and Fort Mallary Gallery, in Western Massachusetts, and Atelier 030202 in Bucharest Romania. If i lived anywhere near any of those locations I’d try and go see this show. Some of the artists chosen are not my cup of tea but some of the others are pretty exciting.
The worst part about not being able to see such shows in person is that I cannot experience the physicality of the inherent layering typical of collage. I wonder what it will be like when 3d scans of works which are 2d will start being main stream. It will truly change the viewing experience especially for those of us who live very far away.
