\u201cWe suspect that individual practices function more similarly to collective practice than most people imagine. Whether explicitly acknowledged or not, all forms of production are fundamentally based on collaboration in the sense that the artist inevitably draws on the influences and innovations of existing culture. In this sense, we feel that autonomous authorship only exists as cultural mythology.\u201d

Collaboration is expanding within the medium and taking many forms. Collage artists are teaming their talents to produce publications, for example. FABA Collage Mag<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (For And About Artists) is preparing to release its second issue.\"FABA,<\/a> Allan Bealy<\/a> recently brought together the work of more than two dozen active creators to \u201cExplode the Alphabet\u201d with his Z2A<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. Each spread features an original solo collage based on the designated letter. Zach Collins<\/a> takes the idea of synergy another step with a major exposition of how dynamic international collage collaboration has become. Anyone who has tracked the prolific artist could see this coming. We Said Hello and Shook Hands<\/em><\/strong><\/a> documents the results of his relentless series of virtual \u201cjam sessions\u201d from the past few years. Both publications benefit from the able editing of fellow collage artist Laura Tringali Holmes<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether or not we can expect a tide of post-centennial self-publishing, now that evolving technology has opened up new opportunities for collage artists outside the conventional art-book world. In any case, these examples are worthy of attention, as we build our collector libraries during this exhilarating period for collage.
