The appearance of collage in early twentieth-century art marked an immense alteration in visual experience. In collage, space and time could be sliced and spliced in ways previously unavailable to photography or painting; collage could be additive (placement, juxta-position, com-position) or subtractive (cut, removal).
USE & MENTION offers a broad selection of current collage-related activity. Most of the works shown are on paper but also included are texts and video.
