a group exhibition including collage artists:

Plastic bags and coloured pencils, seashells and grouse wings, vintage
encyclopedias and rare books, doilies and dollar bills are some of the
materials found in the collages and assemblages of fifteen contemporary
artists in “Vices Peculiar to These Eclectics: Contemporary Collage” at
the Dr. M. T. Geoffrey Yeh Art Gallery at St. John’s University in
Queens, New York. Bringing together nearly fifty works of art, this
exhibition also puts a spotlight on writers working in written and
visual collage forms, a tour of old and recent collage publications, and
a “sound collage” wing where visitors can listen to sampling, remixes,
and mashups. This show is a celebration and a provocation, a lively
glimpse into how today’s hunter-gatherers are making art, text, and
sound in a climate of information and material overload.
