Community Collage
An experiment in collective seeing

What are we noticing these days?

You’re invited to submit 3–8 images from your everyday life, nothing staged or polished, just what you’ve been noticing.

These images will be brought together into a shared collage during an in-person gathering at Still Life Studios (Cambridge).

Together, we’ll spend time with what emerges from our collective attention. The collage will exist only during the gathering and not be documented or shared afterward.

Submissions are anonymous and take about 5 minutes. You do not need to attend the event to participate.

Tickets are for the in-person event and materials will be provided.

Collage as a way of living by Regan Golden in MARCH (a journal of art & strategy): “From an alternative perspective, collage is not merely a visual art technique, but a method of living, thinking, and navigating a fractured world. It is a way to embrace chance and combine disparate, found elements to create a new, often unexpected, meaning” (Golden, 2021). Come collage on a vinyl record in honor of World Collage Day. Join collage artists Missy Arellano & Emily Caufield for an evening full of cutting, pasting, and vinyl sounds. Sift through vintage magazines and archives of music ephemera to create your very own vinyl record art. Help us celebrate collage as a way of living! This event is open to everyone, but is geared toward 18+.

This workshop will provide a framework for procedural art making, and encourage skill sharing within the collaborative design process. Bring your own expertise and help us decorate Still Life Studios with a perpetual calendar. 

A perpetual calendar is a catalogued delineation of time that doesn’t expire at the end of the Gregorian year. There are fourteen different configurations of the calendar year, and we are producing all fourteen of them in one site-specific installation for the studio space. Artist in Residence, Luc Grenier, is facilitating a collaborative design workshop at Still Life Studios in three weekly sessions where we will be cooperatively exploring how we ritualize and account for the passing of time. Join us for all three, or come whenever you can.

Week 1: Collaborative design session and project proposal

Weeks 2 - 3: Cooperative making and calendar production
