Collage derives from the French word "coller" meaning "glue", coined by Braque and Picasso in the early 20th century. The advent of collage signaled a radical shift in art, in its conception, perception, process, & the end product. Collage has expanded the language of art, allowing for greater diversity and an increased range of expression. Using found, fragmented, and discarded materials, collage artists make a case for informality and improvisation.
- Collage is ideally suited to capture the speed, time, and pace of the modern urban experience.
- Collage records our civilization, capturing the topical, the transitory, the absurd, the humane and the inhumane.
- Collage gives the uneventful, the commonplace, & the ordinary a magic of its own.
- Collage often means working with whatever materials are at hand.
- Collages are often made in improvisation, treating materials equally & reusing them regardless of their original purpose or origin.
Arc Gallery & Studios features a 1,000 sq. ft. art gallery, two smaller galleries, an art education center, and ten artist studios, along with the Kearny Street Workshop office, the San Francisco Artist Network office, and VEGA Blue Bottle Coffee Shop.
