The International Weird Collage Show
Max-o-Matic
In their 14th tour-de-force of contemporary collage artists, The Weird Show has brought the International Weird Collage Show to Shoreditch gallery Jealous East. The show will continue it’s tradition of featuring loud, disruptive art with a focus on new ways of caving out the medium. A selection of 25 artists from around the world will exemplify the ways in which cutting-edge collage makers are leaving behind cliché and re-conceiving the process of collage.
Ashkan Honarvar
One of the most important exhibitions of contemporary collage art – Graffica
As part of special opening night festivities, artist and soundtrack composer Maxwell Sterling will perform a sound collage inspired by his record Hollywood Medieval (2017). Fun fact: the post-punk, collage legend Linder Sterling is the artist’s mother and provided the sleeve artwork for his album.
