In the issue’s editorial, Ric Kasini Kadour writes, “I often find myself saying, Collage is powerful magic. The collage community often feels like we are off in our own private corner of the art world. We excel at sharing that collage magic with each other. How can we do better sharing it with the rest of the world?”

In answer to that question, we report on how JRC’s The Seaside Fleet is making its way to New York City; how New Orleans collagist Simon Blake used collage in a Crystal Hot Sauce Campaign; and Peter Blake‘s collage on Macallan Whisky Bottles.

Three Wheel by Tim Harper is on the cover of Kolaj #32. A detail of a collage work by Myriam Dion that reflects on the Notre Dame Cathedral fire is on the back. Artist Portfolios by these artists appear in the issue.

Celia Crane tells us how collage is taking the stage in the Web-based Interactive Art Project TELEPHONE. She writes, “An encouraging and inspirational arts and culture story written over the course of an unprecedented international health crisis, TELEPHONE is not only an impressive body of ekphrastic artworks, but a single collage of collaborative ideas expressed by a thousand artists from every corner of the Earth.”

Michael Koppa finishes Les Cocobopros, a collaborative artist book with Lisa Chun, Gary Ortman, William Cody, Musta Fior, Flore Kunst, Francine Martin and Rhed Fawell.

Rod T. Boyer asks us to “Mind the Gap” in a compelling essay about collision and context in haiku and collage.

Ashley Pryor Geiger reviews the Improbable Ascents of Brasilia, Brazil artist iuri kothe.

Madeleine Rhondeau considers the public and private performance in the collages of Old Lyme, Connecticut artist Rebecca Steiner

Laupahoehoe, Hawaii artist Martha Chong joins a noble tradition of artists tempted by the surreal mysticism of Saint Anthony.

*****************************

Kolaj Magazine, a full color, print magazine, exists to show how the world of collage is rich, layered, and thick with complexity. By remixing history and culture, collage artists forge new thinking. To understand collage is to reshape one's thinking of art history and redefine the canon of visual culture that informs the present.
