\u201cThere has been an increased attention on collaborative practice in the arts in recent times with a perceived increase in artists working in groups or partnerships. For many other artistic enterprises, collaboration is the norm. Musicians form together into ensembles and bands<\/em>; actors, writers and directors necessarily work in companies;<\/em> and dancers, choreographers and musicians work in companies too, or in troupes.<\/em> But for the visual arts the history of collaboration is less dominant, but perhaps, on the rise.\u201d

<\/a>The Target Practice Project<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is certainly taking on a life of its own. L T Holmes<\/a> has established a new blogsite<\/a> and yesterday she kindly featured me as a \u201cguest blogger.\u201d<\/a> Thank you, Laura, for your generous spirit.<\/p>\n

Several of my entries over the past weeks have illustrated thematic collaborations. How many other kinds are there at play in the contemporary collage scene? Please indulge me as I continue to count the ways.<\/p>\n

There have been remarkable long-term projects such as Liz Cohn\u2019s Playing with a Full Deck<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. The playing card<\/a> format seems to be a perpetual stimulus to interesting collaborations in collage. And then there is always the creative teamwork that simply results from a meeting of improvisational minds. One artist will originate a piece and a partner will complete it. Sometimes the process works in both directions at once. In other cases, a collaborator will select ingredients in order that a fellow \u201cchef\u201d may prepare a delicious \u201centr\u00e9e.\u201d Zach Collins has devoted much of a Tumblr site to his prolific joint ventures<\/a>. Musta Fior is internationally known for his many visual co-conspiracies<\/a>. Below are representative products of collaboration in the medium that have recently caught the eye of The Collage Miniaturist.<\/em><\/p>\n

Long have I been convinced that musicians had it all over visual artists when it came to the collaborative urge, but countless exponents of contemporary collage are helping to revise that perception. Ladies and gentlemen, keep jammin\u2019 away!
