The art of the collage is flourishing between Brooklyn and London
- Text by HUCK HQ
A selection of collage artists from Brooklyn and London have teamed up for a new show, aptly named Brooklyn vs. London, which will run in the Carousel exhibition space, London, June 12 – 27.
A collaboration between the Brooklyn Collage Collective and London art initiative Something in the Attic, Brooklyn vs. London brings the vibrant collage artist community together to celebrate the genre and present a showcase of the new wave of cut-and-paste talent.
The show features artists like Lizzie Gill, Daniel Greer, Jay Riggio and Adam Hale, their work often mixes old and new for a subversive and humorous effect.
You can find out more about the exhibition on the official Brooklyn vs. London Facebook event page.
