Friday, March 20 - 9:00AM to 11:00AM
Atlanta 3
Originally used by Dada artists such as Hannah Höch and Man Ray as a tool for social and political critique of the atrocities of the First World War, photocollages and photomontages create new relationships, juxtapositions, and narratives by deconstructing and reconstructing photographic source material. What happens when we revisit images and feel compelled to challenge, displace, or expand upon what has been represented in personal or institutional photographs fixed in time? What connections can be made (or broken) when we tear, glue, manipulate, and layer disparate times, spaces, and places in photographs? This is a session call for provocative photographic artists who experiment with a broad spectrum of methods and approaches to collage in lens-based art to address the contemporary moment, explore collective or personal memory, and/or interrogate the materials, history, and future of the photographic medium.
