Description

The Photography & Collage Artist Residency will invite photographers and collage artists to come together in dialogue, learn from one another, and make artwork for a series of exhibitions that explore the intersection of collage and photography. Unfolding in two tracks over the course of a week, we will ask, What happens when a collagist picks up the camera? What happens when a photographer collages their pictures? Presentations will explore collage in theory, artist practice, the ecosystem of art, the state of photography, and the history of photography and collage. Artists will shoot on film, explore the dark room, and make collage with the results. Artists will also shoot digital images which will be printed as collage material. During the residency, artists will make an artwork that will be exhibited at the New Orleans Photo Alliance Gallery. The exhibition will take place 9 June-28 July 2024 at the New Orleans Photo Alliance Center. A reception will take place at Kolaj Fest New Orleans, 12-16 June 2024. After the residency, artists will invited to submit 3-5 artworks that will be considered for an exhibition at Kolaj Institute in December as part of PhotoNOLA 2024, an annual celebration of photography in New Orleans, produced by the New Orleans Photo Alliance in partnership with museums, galleries, and alternative venues citywide.
