Art can be dangerous. Sometimes on purpose- sometimes… Well, accidents happen. I have friends who use fireworks in their art, some use fire, others have used guns. But I find the real danger is the Exacto Knife. Ouch. Those paper cuts are vicious!!
I have been wanting to curate a show of cut art for a while. Cut art may be different from collage, but it is also the same. What do you do with the cut pieces? Do you glue them? Hang them? Tape them to the wall individually? (I do that)
This online exhibition featuring over 100 works is a poetic, rhythmic, romp through the act of cutting up material in order to create something beautiful, political, serene and imaginative. My main focus in curating the exhibition was on more unconventional, non-traditional modes of collage while examining and exploring how artists cut up their work to tell creative stories. I selected work that spoke to eachother and curated the show based on these conversations.
