Collage Art

[F_c_O]

To me, when I can work on this (I seriously need a printer with photocopier asap), I always try to make it look like hmm, let's say painting(?) If that makes any sense. Like, to have a clear image where every piece makes sense and is in right place instead of just random chaos. Lust Vessel tape covers give a good idea what I mean. So for me, it definetly has to have overall theme and everything has to fit together and look good.

Updated my site with my new collages and stuff : http://jeanbaptisteleveque.fr

To answer cr's question, I never start with a theme or idea, as my work is very abstract. The pieces I use are always pictures taken from books, xeroxed and zoomed. Sometimes it's a 141% zoom, sometimes 200, 400, 800... So I end up with very abstract textures and patterns that I try to arrange to create rhythm, constrasts etc. I just sift through my stock until something catch my eye, and I try to add it to the current collage, or I start another one on the side.

I was releasing them in paper zine format between 2007 and 2011, but due to lack of space and being overwhelmed by filmprojects, had to put it on hiatus. Now that my last movie is finished, I shall get back to it later this year.

I have just published a new series of collages, "Dialectique de la misère sexuelle".

They were made for the VHS release of my first feature film, Théorie de la religion, by King of the Witches. A few are still available.

So, how do all you collage makers start with a new work? From a blank page or, like I prefer sometimes, from a hole page constisting of an interesting photograph or whatever, then glue and assemble the other chosen pieces onto this page and create something very different out of it?

As I just mentioned in Playlist topic listening to lots of Mania, one cannot forget the great collage works accompanying them.
So I thought that it would be great to have these for example collected in a book apart from the releases. I would immediately buy a book with collage works from Mr. Brewer, Mr. Aspa or Mr. Markkula - maybe something in the form like the You Are Worth It book.

Still disappointed that the long announced Kristian Olsson book on Autarkeia didn't come to life.

a book by Philip best of his collages is imminent via martin bladh's imprint
there seems to still be fanzine collages in circulation-b&w being cheap but potentially poor in reproduction
also quite a few cassette covers are collage

apologies not needed.
rough reproduction is not bad production

Been on a kick of tearing up old collages and repurposing them into new ones for a while now. Nice to destroy the past and look toward the future.

Cutting up some of my bigger, space-taking coffee table books for material, ran into a funny coincidence - looking in A Day In The Life Of Australia (DITLA, 1981), was cutting out a picture of a prostitute hanging outside her door and noticed a sign that said "ring bell for service." Thought, "where have I seen that before?" Pulled out Climax Denial's Genitalization of the Void tape, and there it is. I guess Jim/Fusty Cunt and I have similar collage tendencies, haha...
