Statement Risa Schneider
Collage and assemblage are interesting to me because they are art forms both practical and transformative, wherein something beautiful or engaging can be made even of something that might otherwise be considered useless or scrap. Much like quilting, collage can be a way of utilizing available materials and giving them a whole new life. This impulse to make something beautiful even if with humble materials, is, I think, quite an old impulse, even a timeless one. Yet collage and assemblage also seem particularly suited to contemporary concerns—be it in reflecting the faster pace, and sometimes fractured reality, of our daily lives since the early 20th century, or by speaking to our growing understanding of the importance of environmental concerns. I think, too, that they are contemporary also because they are democratic art forms--that can allow and enable artists who have might have less formal training to find and develop their artistic voice, at the same time that they have allowed formally trained and master artists to take their work in new and different directions these past one hundred years.

OM.2012.084 - Seeking Kali Collective
Artist Statement -
Seeking Kali has been interested in exploring collage making because it allows for 3D expression vs 'flat' media and as a 3D art work it invites the viewer IN to experience the piece.
What intrigues us is that it has an assembling aspect both as (obvious) technique and as statement, i.e. bringing together pieces to make a whole that is more than the sum of its parts.
This way, constructing an art piece by way of collage can be seen as a metaphor for expressing an idea by way of connecting/weaving/bringing together separate thought fragments. In a meta way it can be seen to stand for a society's challenge to connect heterogeneous forces therein.

The title, "Insidiae" with is Latin for conspiracy is a a play on words in relation to the method of art making we do as the Seeking Kali Collective. Our pieces are worked out as a group as a direct refutation of the idea of the artist as an isolated cultural worker.
Seeking Kali is William Evertson (USA), Susan Shulman (Canada) and Ria Vanden Eynde (Belgium)

OM.2012.070 - Andrew Riley Clark - USA
Box assemblage, 3.7 x 6.9 x 2.5 cm (closed)

Statement:
I'm relatively new to assemblage per se, but for me it seems to be
coming from a number of existing projects, interests, and influences:
found objects, painting, collage, junk & detritus, urban decay,
mechanical/industrial aesthetics, toys & miniatures, model building,
sci fi & fantasy. I enjoy taking seemingly useless and discardable
pieces and making them into their own little worlds.
