Stumbled on this site recently -- Open Culture.

This LINK is for the Art section.  Some wonderful film/videos. From Wassily Kandinsky in the act of painting, to a case being made for European cave art being the earliest form of cinema, to David Hockney in the act of painting. My favorite so far is A Brief History of  …

I hope many artists from here will enjoy paying a visit to this Musuem of Un-Natural History created  by Gerald Matthews.

Cecil ... what news on the publication of the book containing all the collages that were

made for the occasion?

Thanks ... Nikki

A nice review of the exhibition catalog by the nice folks at Kolaj Magazine. Check out the most recent issue it is full of lots of wonderful stuff including a wonderful interview with Fred Free.…

Initial statement when I posted this to Yahoo before Yahoo dropped videos made by seersucker suit wearers like me:

"When I first began experimenting making films out of my artwork and poetry I came across a product called Photoshow. This allowed me to create "fades" & other effects, while also utilizing captions. (At that point I was not savvy enough to figure out how to use a sound recorder and microphone.) I tried achieving the same thematic effect using windows movie maker, but…

Dear artists,

I am pleased to let you know that I have a new publication, which is available for purchase at Blurb. There are two versions of the book:

A standard landscape version (8 x 10) inches, which is a perfect bound, but could be made with a hardcover:…

Last year, I started a collage project called To The Power Of N where a number of collage artists from around the world are asked to complete a collage work using only the materials that they are provided with. This year 12 artists will be selected to each receive an identical selection of materials with which to create a work.

The project is now in it 2nd year, and I am looking for collage artists who are interested in…

After the success of To The Power Of N in 2011, the project is back again this year, and this time I am looking for 12 artists working in collage to participate.

A few days ago, I started a new piece and thought I would post some photos on my website of the work in progress.

I have attached one below, but you can see the rest of them and a bit of a description of what is going on HERE.

Let me know what you think!…

It's great to see all the activity on the site! We've recently had a tremendous number of new images uploaded so we're proposing some guidelines, because this is a group site for the global collage community with fairly limited resources... 

Please put a representative group of your works on the site and then, for vast numbers of images, put them on flickr, your website, or other image archive. You can then link to the rest of the images from your profile page or even on the…

It is almost time to get the ball rolling on the 2012 To The Power Of N project and exhibition, but before we do, I thought it would be a good idea to revist the excellent work put together by our group of artists for the 2011 exhibition.

To this end, I am pleased to announce the launch of the To The Power Of N: When N…

Hi All,

The "Meaning to Glue" exhibit at the Nightingale Gallery at EOU ended yesterday. It was a fantastic show and I wanted to post a link here to a PDF version of the exhibition catalog for those of you who are interested but couldnt make the trip to the show.

Also, we have a few of the very high quality paper copies left as well. If you would like…

What, exactly, is outsider art? The label evokes a jumble of adjectives, from amateur to self-taught, shoddy to innovative, mad to genius, naive to prophetic. With this question in mind, we attended the 20th annual Outsider Art Fair in New York City over the weekend. Browsing…

I am starting to put the blog together for the Collage Centennial in preparation for the catalog. It is going to be massive! What is there now is only a small portion of the work for the show.

Here's a link to an article in the New York Times about appropriation and fair use in the visual arts in a digital age.  The artist, Richard Prince, lost the case in Federal District Court but is appealing.
