Collage: The Unmonumental Picture
For this addition to the New Museum’s inaugural exhibition, Unmonumental, collages by eleven artists were installed on the gallery walls surrounding the sculptures already on view. Using varied strategies and materials, each of the artists exploited the formal and ideological power of juxtaposing found images to create everything from social and political commentaries to Surrealist fantasies and personal confessions. Collage is by definition a medium that utilizes fragments and seeks out opposing tensions, broken images, hidden desires, and collective myths. This catalogue demonstrates the relevance of collage practice in a contemporary world full of excessive imagery. It includes essays by Richard Flood, Laura Hoptman, and Massimiliano Gioni, as well as interviews with and writings by the artists. Some of the imagery is appropriate for mature readers only.

Montage: Unmonumental Online
This catalogue from the online portion of the Unmonumental exhibition features works by an international group of fourteen emerging and midcareer artists who appropriate diverse material from the Web to create new Internet-based montage. Cutting and pasting, breaking apart and re-assembling, ripping and remixing, the participating artists extend the radical practice of collage to the Internet, demonstrating how previously tried techniques can engender rich, new artistic practices. Their works incorporate varied formal elements: digital images, sound, video, or code, and also recite fictions and fantasies found online.
This unbound mini-catalogue includes a curatorial statement, as well as artists’ biographies and reproductions of their work. The broader potential of the publication, however, is to be found online. In partnership with Rhizome, the New Museum has created an exhibition website: www.rhizome.org/montage. Rhizome, a nonprofit organization sponsored by the New Museum, supports artists working in digital and Internet formats. Rhizome has played an integral role in the history, definition, and growth of art engaged with the Internet and networked technologies. Its website (www.rhizome.org) is a dynamic, interactive platform, rich in historical resources and updated continually with new art and commentary by a vast community.
