Short Description
Collage GIFs are part of Collage in Motion, a project of Kolaj Institute that explores collage and the moving image, a broad, loosely defined category that includes animations, film cut-ups, collage film, stop-motion, animated GIFs, documentaries about collage artists, and other forms of media in which collage–as medium or genre–is present. We see our role as not one of defining “collage in motion” but as one of asking what “collage in motion” can be. The project manifests as articles in Kolaj Magazine, an online directory, workshops, residencies, and screenings. Artists with practice of Collage in Motion are encouraged to submit to the online directory.
Eligibility
Kolaj Institute is seeking submissions from artists with a practice of making animated GIFs for a program at Kolaj Fest New Orleans, where selected artworks will be screened at an Evening Event. After the festival, the artworks will be exhibited in an Online Exhibition that will open on 15 July 2025 on Kolaj Institute’s website.
