Voices & Visions Artist's Talk with Mark Wagner

Voices & Visions Artist's Talk with Mark Wagner

Meet Mark Wagner whose currency collage Took For Granted is featured in the Museum's Ripped: The Allure of Collage Exhibition. During the Artist's Talk Wagner will share his thoughts about his career and his collages.  Light refreshments will be served. 

"The one dollar bill is the most ubiquitous piece of paper in America.  Collage asks the question: what might be done tom ake it something else?  It is a ripe material: intaglio printed on sturdy linen stock, covered in decorative filigree, and steeped in symbolism and concept.  Blade and glue transform it - reproducing the effects of tapestries, paints, engravings, mosaics, and computers - striving for something bizarre, beautiful, or unbelievable..."
