It's going to be Huge!

April 15, 2016 - June 15, 2016

Nano Technology, Mobile Media, Cell Phone Culture, Tiny House Movement, Downsizing, Small Footprint; these are some of the trends in today's society. In the world of collage art small is king. Due to the kind of materials collage artists use such as books, magazines, old papers, illustrations, etc. the majority of collage materials tend to be roughly the size of a book page. The ergonomic considerations of a book suggest that it be small and able to be handled. The previous century has been rich in paper artifacts and this has allowed artists to develop art forms based on this material.

Small works are more about a conversation among friends than a lecture to a large crowd. With small works the viewer is beckoned to come close to look upon and cherish the small details of the work that communicates through whispers rather than the amplification of large scale. In a small work every little detail takes on significance whether it be a small punctuation mark or the ghost of an image from the back side of the paper.

Small, intimate works focus our vision and make it sharp and clear. Like the study of a poetic work, collage art often references allusions to a broad, rich history beyond itself through the use of paper artifacts containing printed matter, stains, fugitive hand written notation and the patina of use or abuse. Every detail has significance and is part of the content to be deciphered by the astute viewer. 

 

 

MATTHEW ROSE COMIX No. 3 2015 (Collage on Canvas).

Collage artists form a unique and interesting community. The hunt for found materials is crucial to the process of many collage artists causing them to be consummate collectors of things. Their collecting of material artifacts for their artistic appeal and possibilities rather than for rarity or value often makes them keenly aware of popular culture - present and past - with the subtle eye of an anthropological curator.

From an art collector's point of view, traditionally one often thinks of small works or works on paper as preparatory for larger works on canvas. Small works are often relegated to the department of drawing. But in the case of collage such as seen in this exhibition, these small intimate collages are typically the final work of art, not a study or a preparation for another work. For the collector who is also a bibliophile, collecting collage art should have a special place in their heart and in their collection. Small framed collage works can be collected like books, exhibited in clusters and stored on shelves or like documents, kept unframed in file drawers to be brought out and cherished then returned to the drawer.  

As an art of its time, collage art; its imagery, its techniques, its attitude speaks to our confrontation with a fractured multifarious image of the world in an age of information overload. The activities of sifting, sorting, organizing and prioritizing become the basis and the goal of artistic activity in this hummingbird era of ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). Collage artists explore the artifacts that have poured out of the cornucopia of modern society using them as grist for the creative mill generating new works of art with materials that have already had their useful life and have been retired from their intended purpose. In the hands of collage artists these materials often achieve poetic stature when their inherent visual qualities are brought to the fore and their former usefulness disregarded.

Lover's Discourse, 2016

Lover's Discourse, 2016.  Part of a series of collage works on book covers. This piece is a riff off of John Stezaker's collage approach of inserting a landscape into the gaping maws of two lovers.  My take is to inject a 1930s photogram of caffeine molecules into that intimate space.

Remix: Uncouth Vermouth - LA DIVE BOUTEILLE 2016

I will be working with Bianca and her amazing Brooklyn-made Uncouth Vermouth at La Dive Bouteille in Saumur, France this weekend.  My work will be on a new batch of her incredible vermouth.  More here: Uncouth Vermouth ... and La Dive Bouteille.

We will be offering as a prize a print of Immaculate Perception (Baby Bloo) to one of the visitors! The print is signed and dated 2015. 

Surrealism, asserted André Breton, was above all "a revolutionary movement."  And that movement, both visual and literary, was largely identified with the dream. Shock, non-sequitur, unlikely but often gorgeous juxtapositions were the signature elements of surrealist works. These ideas come to term in Immaculate Perception. Beautifully printed by Mariela Cadiz in Paris, the work is a lullaby in the surrealist cannon: A young girl in a bob cut dreams in a dream of a lemon tree.  She is the revolution. 

A larger and slightly different print is available (only a few left) from The Calm Gallery (online sale only).  You can see and order the limited edition (50)  piece here: Matthew Rose / Immaculate Perception / The Calm Gallery...

MODE D'EMPLOI - OPENS 20 JANUARY 2016 PARIS

W16 0VERDRIVE | MODE D’EMPLOI
S. N. S. HERNING X MATTHEW ROSE
Unique Machine World Meets Fashion World Meets Art World Meets Unique Machine World Meets Fashion World

PARIS – Danish Designer and knitwear manufacturer S. N. S. Herning launches its 2016 Winter Collection and celebrates its 85th anniversary with a collaborative exhibition of fashion and the collage works of Paris-based American artist Matthew Rose during the Winter Fashion Week in Paris – 20 thru 27 January.  A vernissage for the collection and collaboration is planned for Saturday 23 January 2016.

S. N. S Herning’s Winter 2016 collection – 0VERDRIVE – includes 85 menswear and womenswear knitted pieces, a design style synonymous with the Herning, Denmark-based house since 1931.

“Our knitwear collection is logical and pure, but it speaks about the marriage of technology and values,” says designer and owner, Søren N. Skyt, grandson of the company’s founder Søren Nielsen Skyt.

The W16 0VERDRIVE collection is third installment in S. N. S. Herning’s META series of 5 seasons, explains Søren N. Skyt. “The overarching theme is human value,” he says.  “Our original origins : our heritage and storytelling – in particular our relation to technology and the imminent danger of technological development running amok, changing our concepts of value, perhaps irrevocably.”

COLLABORATION
0VERDRIVE is also a collaboration – MODE D’EMPLOI – with artist Matthew Rose, adds Søren.

“We are exploring art and fashion, ideas and machines, the way words and images drench us in a post-digital consciousness, how information in all its manifestations seeps into our beings – how we change, adapt, reinvent language,” says Søren. “In many ways the 0VERDRIVE collection is a gentle reminder and appreciation of what we have – and what we can do – that is good, with regards to our unique human abilities, like the appreciation of great art, great wine – and a well-crafted garment.”

Matthew Rose and Søren N. Skyt met only a year ago and developed a friendship over Wittgenstein, Kierkegaard, art and fashion – how technology, consciousness, linguistics and making things are woven together and at times expresses our greatest strengths and some of our most intriguing constructions.

“Aesthetic expression – art making in its pure form – is one of the last unbridled domains of creation,” says Søren.  “And art making is so far mostly uncontaminated by artificial intelligence. With Matthew’s work, we have something like a private language understood by all.”

COLLAGE
Working exclusively in collage for many years, Matthew Rose created the series MODE D’EMPLOI for this collaborative exhibition.  The series gestures towards the machine with cutouts and tearouts of magazine page fragments combined into “machines” that imitate speech, and intimate function.  Serious, humorous, flat and yet indicating depth, these works – all black and white – are incarnations of a “history of the future.” In addition, Matthew Rose produced the print, Final Theory, 2015, especially for 0VERDRIVE : MODE D’EMPLOI.

“My interest here was to strip down content and reflect something out of splinters of the past,” says Rose. Using magazines from the 1920s and 1930s the artist worked instinctively wrestling shapes from printed pages, mapping out an animal, architectural instinct, building shapes into machines as it were – producing a kind of history, a meta-language of the machine.

“This series is very coherent with the kind of elegance and intelligence of Søren’s W16 design and collection,” adds Rose. “I could not have dreamed of such a gorgeous and generous collaboration.”

0VERDRIVE also includes a collaboration between Copenhagen-based photographer Alastair Philip Wiper and S. N. S. HERNING in documenting the aged knitting machines in a soft spoken, poetic, almost religious portraiture.

We hope that 0VERDRIVE : MODE D’EMPLOI will engage the public in a fresh and unusual way.

“1067 Mind Invasion” At The Observer Building, Hastings, UK
Major British Survey of Contemporary Collage : 500 Works On Exhibition

Private View – Friday 4 December, 2015 : 6.30 PM

HASTINGS, UK –  “It could be the most extensive survey of British collage in the last 10 years,” says Liz Finch, organizer and artist for the 1067 Group’s major exhibition set to open with the private view on 4 December at 6.30 pm at The Observer Building in Hastings, UK.  The exhibition features the work of 26 artists and runs through 20 December, 2015.

Following the success of the previous Hastings exhibition 10 years ago, the 1067 Group invades Hastings again, this time in a larger, more generous venue. Formerly comprised of East Sussex-based artists and designers, the 1067 Group has expanded to include a handful of internationally known collage artists. The range of works and magic woven by these artists, will clearly rival any London show surveying contemporary collage.

“Each artist will present some 20 works, with the sole restriction that each piece measure 15 x 15 inches square,” says Hastings artist Peter Quinnell.  “The exhibition promises to be a high-quality survey with works ranging from a current interest in geometric abstraction and pop to surrealism and text-infused realism.”

Collage has become a medium as powerful and omnipresent as paint – or wood, metal, or stone sculpture. It is wildly versatile and is often used as an installation component or subject – think wallpaper. The use of printed images, photographs, paper or any material that can be fixed and attached to a canvas or paper support is often recombined in novel ways. Small details can be enlarged; the world explored in minutiae or in odd but meaningful scale. The results of collage works are often politically and sexually charged, and marry reality to fantasy in a way other mediums can’t easily do. 

“For me, collage is another way of essay writing, of spelling, of producing a philosophical (realist) text,” says Paris-based American artist, Matthew Rose. “What is always compelling about collage is its capacity to stack and stagger meaning from a simple paper base. In the 1067 Mind Invasion exhibition, I use paint sample grids to discuss theology and technology.”

The Observer Building is in the heart of the Hastings Art District: Artists, illustrators, film makers, fashion designers often congregate in the commons areas, to meet, greet and exchange ideas that are making the British art world tick. 

Michael Leigh, the British Fluxus & Mail artist from Manchester, notes that “The Observer Building is a magnet for artists and musicians experimenting every which way.  One of the coolest places in England.”  He points out that “1067” is a reference to the Battle of Hastings, which took place in 1066 and put the Norman French in control of the British Kingdom.  “Of course, 1067 is a year late to the Norman Invasion party,” says Leigh.

The poster –1067 MIND INVASION – was designed by Martin O’Neill, renowned British illustrator in editorial and advertising. 

The high resolution PDF poster is free to download:

Among the artists exhibiting: Matthew Rose, Peter Quinnell, Liz Finch, Nichola Bruce, Martin O’Neill, Richard Heslop, Michael Leigh, Chris Milton, Jennifer Binnie, Christine Binnie, Deborah Stevenson, Luke Pendrell, Paul Burgess, Catherine Denvir, Annie Millar, Shorn Thompson, Bunny, Lucy, Alex Mazari, Tom Bartlett, Jeb Haward, Oska Lappin, Danny Pockets,Robert Sample, Dave Reading, Jo Redpath, Richard de Pesando, Delaine Le Bas, Lorna Crabbe, Jane Marriner, Jason Williams, Rebecca Marshall, Tim Marrs, Gary Neil, Rozenn Le Gall, Marc Deb, Amanda Jobson…
