About Change. Selected works by international artists (Ceal Floyer, Ellen Gallagher, Thomas Hirschhorn, Tobias Rehberger and Martha Rosler) who adopt collague techniques in order to express their personal perceptions of reality in a fitting manner.
Collage entered the modern era in the early 20th century, and in the 1920s
Dada gave it a particular Berlin flavour. We have been observing for some
time how contemporary artists are finding new ways to use collague
techniques in order to express their personal perceptions of reality in a fitting
manner. They might adopt the classical approach – glueing, overpainting and
alienating existing images – but they also draw on new, computer-aided
media.
About Change, Collection centres on art which tries to grasp reality by these
means. To mark the publication of Manifesto Collage: Collage in den Künsten
und Wissenschaften, the Berlinische Galerie is showing selected international
positions from the collection, including works by Ceal Floyer, Ellen Gallagher,
Thomas Hirschhorn, Tobias Rehberger and Martha Rosler.
