Presentation of the work
Being a foreigner in a community is very hard and sometimes fun! Imagine that you are in a circle that everyone speaking and you are looking like a deaf in the center, later a big headache, effort to catch a common word. In “every” word try to connect your experiences about words in mind. my strangeness to this class due to Spanish.
If you don’t know any word in other language you could perceive like there is no sentences. Only, very long words in the air.
In first times i gave my all concentration to understand teacher, he was giving a lecture but, is an live lecture, not only he was talking but also,playing to the audience, everyone with full attention, taking notes, asking questions.and I only can catch common words of art, I can hear politics,famous artists but, how pity that I can not understand anything! Also, I didn’t know any of my classmates, even behaviours and cultures, I just had impressions with their images. Different sounds, behaviours… All was completely different. Day by day more used to their voices and languages. now its better for me but, i am still a sranger, who will stay for a short time, for them and an observer in environment.
When Orla project started I was thinking orla is a name for this memory, and we are trying to explain our classmates psychological or physical, with different ways. And for that, i choose to take their favourite characters or toys and photos to prepare a collage with different images, but in last days of project understand that orla is a portrait belong to here. This is due to different imaginations with same words...
To know a person is not enough see her/him neither behaviours to you, nor talk with her/him. There are lies, first impressions and illusions in life.
But if you use consciousness you could see backstage of illusions. It shows signs of psychologic side.
This collages in deep, are reflections of my connection with them, maybe I don’t know the language but it doesn’t mean that I don’t communicate with them.to understand and to adaptation it is a necessity or else,you would want change your position,or bored from lifestyle...
These are evidents about myself and their identities. Also, I took visual materials from owners while preparing collages , it would make them closer to my projects at the same time a starting point of my collages . I used theirs and toys photos, pictures was also their choises . it more helps to consciousness. In addition,1* the aesthetic act of pasting objects and papers to a surface has been practiced in various folk arts for centuries, including twelfth-century Japanese text-collages decorated with paper foils, African tribal emblems, fifteenth-century Persian and Turkish cut-paper designs, German weather charms and lace valentine greetings, as well as eighteenth-century butterfly-wing collages. Collage as a fine art medium, however, emerged with the cubist pasting and gluing experiments of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in France in 1912. These cubist artists broke up space and shapes and often used torn, cut, and pasted papers as integral components of their designs
While Picasso’s Still Life with Chair Caining (May 1912) is often considered the first modern collage, it is actually an assemblage of oil paint, oil cloth, pasted paper, and rope, making it a low-relief, three-dimensional construction. The first collages constructed solely of paper, on the other hand, were made by Braque in the summer of 1912, when he incorporated wood-grained wallpaper into a series of charcoal drawings. Picasso’s Glass and Bottle of Suze, completed in November 1912 and one of the earliest paper collages, combines cut and pasted fragments of newspaper, wallpaper, and other papers to create abstract still life forms.
Around the start of World War I, several Italian futurists continued to work in and expand on the collage techniques introduced in France. The German and Russian expressionists then contributed technical developments, and the dadaists, in creating their nonsense art, found in the collage medium the perfect expression of their negative feelings toward traditional art forms and ideas.Following a short lull in collage activity, the 1920s’ art scene witnessed the arrival of German dada artist Kurt Schwitters’s exciting array of personal expressions executed in collage and assemblage considered collage a major art medium, as well as his own primary means of expression. As a result, collage was no longer merely experimental art. Almost every major avant-garde artist of the 1920s and 1930s tried their hand at collage to a greater or lesser degree, primarily to further their graphic explorations. Surrealist artists such as Max Ernst, Jean (Hans) Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Francis Picabia, Joan Miró, and Salvador Dali made extensive use of collaged papers, and some of these artists and others then expanded their personal directions to include assemblage pieces as well.In the 1930s, Henri Matisse used cut-paper shapes as preparatory work for commissioned pieces to be executed in other media. But in 1947, he published a small portfolio of twenty color plates of his cutout designs. He considered the cutting process as “drawing with scissors,” and spoke often of “cutting directly into color.” His flat color shapes and extreme simplification of composition would forever change the structure of two-dimensional art.Joseph Cornell’s work in stagelike boxed assemblages in the early 1940s began the abstract expressionists’ exploration of collage as and art form. Ad Reinhardt, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, and Romare Bearden each approached the collage medium differently*1.
In conclusion,. The best toys or characters are not only objects of human lifes at the same time reflections of our identity and also they are signs of personality; femininity, masculunity, violence or intelligences. In addition, cultural and phsycological impressions surround it. Moreover, objects hide signs about memories of past, relatives, events and our choices. Then, collage is a combination of images, histories, cultures, feelings... An intersection of Orlas participants and mine. these collages are resultants of my and their subconsciousness with images. these works are show my communications and impressions from them, even in Spanish language,We feel and understand with objects, images ,sounds or with words…
