Collage and money


collage de Jan Christensen

A Norwegian artist Jan Christensen had the idea of a joining not very original makes some but expensive and conclusive. He covered a fabric with eight square meters of truths banknotes for an amount of 100.000 crowns or (12300 Euros) He gave like titrates in his table “relative value”. Well on this work exposed in a gallery (MGM Galleri in Oslo) the attention of the press retained. But also of not very scrupulous people who stole the fabric. Surely not for its artistic value but well for the composition of joining. The gallery does not say for how much the table was ensured and how much it had been sold with collectors. Ci below joining before and after the flight.

Magazine "vu" "see" and collage assembly



European house of photography presents the Magazine "vu" "see" publishing in the Thirties.

From November 2, 2006 to February 25, 2007 at the European House of photography, one presents a magazine of the Thirties. Not, do not believe that the House of the photograph was transformed into living room of joining so that it is the subject of a page on this site. `To look CONSIDERING'. It is an exposure where there is there is a profusion of joinings assemblies which the amateurs will appreciate.

The recourse to the image wants to be systematic and generous, in order to better achieve its goal the image is reinforced by a provocative title or an astute assembly. The goal is to show that the image, in our company, is often stronger than the words and to attract. The receipts of the magazine considering are always in force with regard to also joining assembly.

With Alexandre Liberman in 1932 the magazine fétichise the catch of sight of manner D of retaining qu of them a fraction in S inspiring of the dadaïstes. Page-setting makes visible the intentions and under heard. The setting in scene of the images takes precedence over the text. The assembly does not prove it calls a reaction and makes function imagination and the phantasms.

On plan of the photography of report the exposure before is very conceived so that each one can look at a profusion of images, without superficiality, and enter the development of a media system by having all the elements “under the eyes”.
