International Collage Exchange

dale dougherty, ICE coordinator and her worksLove this idea of the ICE – I just might have to enter for the fun of it:Artists each make 13 collages (more or less), size not bigger than A4 (about 8″ X 10″ or 20cm X 26cm), and send them to me in New Zealand, to arrive by 20th March, 2009. One from each artist will be offered for sale at an exhibition here in New Plymouth, New Zealand with the artist setting the price. 30% commission taken. That selling exhibition will also be on the Net on the Virtual TART site, at http://virtual.tart.co.nz allowing the world-wide audience the chance to buy these collages. If unsold, that collage will rejoin the exchange. One is part of a month-long exhibition on the Virtual TART site during April and is also exhibited at the PukeAriki Museum in New Plymouth for at least a month. It will then travel to Samoa, to the MADD Gallery school of found-art assemblage and collage. It will also permanently be on exhibition on the outofsight.co.nz Internet site. The other 11 (or 12 if you didn’t sell) are shared out into parcels which are sent back to each contributing artist.So you send 13 of yours, get back 12 others (or 11 and money from your sale), and you become part of a public collection. NOTE: if you can’t finish as many as 13, or you want to send more, that’s fine. You’ll just get fewer (or more) back in your parcel. Learn more at: International Collage Exchange
