📢✂️Hybrid Narratives an Interview with Marta Janik published in Kolaj Magazine #42✂️📢
Earlier this year, I caught up with my dear friend and collaborator Marta Janik for an insightful interview about humanities place in nature, her sources of inspiration, and her current art practice. Marta is a Flea Circus Ringmaster, Skilled Animator and Collage Artist Extraordinaire based in Warsaw, Poland. I am delighted to say that you can read all about our conversation ‘Hybrid Narratives’ in the new issue of Kolaj Magazine.
Marta also has an upcoming exhibition
”Co robią małpiszony? / What do the cheeky monkeys do?”
Saturday, September 6th,
From: 10am- 6pm with an official opening event at 4pm CEST,
At: Muzeum Karykatury im. Eryka Lipińskiego,
Warsaw, Poland.
Kolaj Magazine Issue #42 also features:
✂️“Little Beasts: Art, Wonder and the Natural World” at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
✂️In “Dance to Resist & Rebel,” they report on how the always excellent UK artist Mark Murphy took collage to Glastonbury Festival.
✂️A profile of San Diego, California-based collagist G. E. Vogt‘s collage project that takes on Project 2025, a plan by the current administration to reorganize the American government under an executive power that would enact an authoritarian, white supremacist, Christian nationalist agenda.
✂️They review the book, “Transformation: A Survey of Collage and the Development of Personal Language”, that features thirteen contemporary collage artists. The book presents a multi-year spread of the artist’s work alongside a short Question & Answer piece by each artist as a way to get a sense of the artist’s personal language and process. “Paul Loughney’s thoughtful introduction offers an insightful definition of the medium that goes beyond the typical observations about glue and fragment.”
✂️A whole host of other writings and images from international collage artists doing incredible things.
