Contemporary collage / Virginia Echeverria
Why do so many contemporary collagists like Virginia Echeverria rely on artwork from years back? Which you get at the fleamarket or in the net. I like this conservation of old imagery but look forward to finding more collages created from today’s (printed) material.

Maps & wrecks
Japan after the terrible earthquake and tsunami would be a perfect terrain for Nigel Peake’s wreck studies and psychological maps. Tough his work is joyful in essence: On his maps the surroundings are re-ordered by their personal and imagined meaning. In his drawings of wrecked houses he is attracted by their sculptural qualities when the elements of the structure are re-ordered. Phantasy beats reality.
For more radical cartography you must see Harold Fisk´s mapping of the mississippi river.
