• Image of The Book as a Place for Collage

The companion to the 2019 COLLAGE::BOOKS, The Book as a Place of Collage considers as a point of departure that the book, not the gallery, is the best place to experience collage. In this book, Kolaj Magazine Editor Ric Kasini Kadour investigates this idea using examples from the magazine's collection of collage books and work by presenters at the symposium, Kadour traces the history of collage publishing, offers a taxonomy of various publishing activities, and discusses the function of the book in art practice, for art professionals, for viewer or collector. The book includes a statement identifying strategies for supporting the book as a means of distribution and (like exhibition) as a viable and respected part of an artist's practice. Chapters include: The Exhibition Book as Travel; Sketchbook as Zine; Book as Extension of Practice; Collage as Illustration in Books; The Book as Calling Card; Book as Curatorial Project; Book as Sculpture; Process, Concept, & Material; Narrative & Object; Book as a Method of Distribution; and Collage Comic Books.
