Cut-and-Paste-ism #01

You probably won't be surprised to hear that I love collage (have probably mentioned it before). Even been known to dabble a little myself (this isn't mine by the way, even though it's a chicken). I was inspired largely by the 1997 MoMA exhibition of Hannah Höch's photomontages - that had quite an effect on me (actually 1997 was a defining year for a few reasons). Then there was the 1999 exhibition at the Whitney of work by Ray Johnson. That was ace too. And lately I've been thinking of selling a few things through Folksy (under a pseudonym - just for fun).

Then yesterday I remembered this great blog (which is where the chicken's from).

And, this bit about Martin O'Neill appeared on the Eye blog.

 

And finally, did you see Schtock? Which I really liked; a cunning ruse.

 

Cut-and-Paste-ism Update:

Ben, the man behind Schtock (and the Book Covers blog for that matter) has sent a few more links through:

• never always

• Not Paper

• CollageManía

Thanks for such great links!
I love how 1997 was such a defining year for you...for me it was 1998-but I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks like that.
