On November 4 – 15, 2008, the Student Activity Unit of STIE YKPN Yogyakarta, or known as STIEHUNT held an exhibition of the result of collage art workshop. It was an exhibition of 34 works of the students collaborating with Angki Purbandono (Ruang MES 56). Entitled MAKE UP, this was the result of image therapy using collage technique – cutting and pasting of advertisings pages taken from magazines, then it was being scanned to make it into digital data, and afterward the data was being printed into any kind of mediums and sizes. By doing a re-make up, hopefully the left and right brain will be refreshed thus creating a spontaneous creative art thinking.

A collage (From the French: coller, to glue) is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Use of this technique made its dramatic appearance among oil paintings in the early 20th century as an art form of groundbreaking novelty.

An artistic collage work may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs, and such, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.

Techniques of collage were first used at the time of the invention of paper in China around 200 BC. The use of collage, however, remained very limited until the 10th century in Japan, when calligraphers began to apply glued paper, using texts on surfaces, when writing their poems.

The technique of collage appeared in medieval Europe during the 13th century. Gold leaf panels started to be applied in Gothic cathedrals around the 15th and 16th centuries. Gemstones and other precious metals were applied to religious images, icons, and also, to coats of arms.

In the 19th century, collage methods also were used among hobbyists for memorabilia (i.e. applied to photo albums) and books (i.e. Hans Christian Andersen, Carl Spitzweg).

Lately, collage work done on paper or magazine is getting rare because nowadays the technique can be done easily on a computer without having to go through the real cut-and-paste ritual, we just need a computer mouse. (from Wikipedia)

It is not easy to pull a red line among the 34 collage works created by STIEHUNT. There was no similarity in the content, no exact deal on how to communicate, and moreover on what the message was. But that was actually the appealing point of these works; the freedom of viewing the image and later combining it with other image until it created a new form with a new meaning. That was the freedom they obtained in this workshop; not just on the freedom of the technique, but also on the way of the thinking!

The exhibition was opened by the Director of STIE YKPN Yogyakarta Dr. Dody Hapsoro, MSPA., MBA., Ak., and live performance of Frau at V Art Gallery Café Jalan Laksda Adisucipto 165 Yogyakarta on Monday, November 3, 2008. This exhibition was continued with an Artist Talk on November 14, 2008 on “Collage Without Concept” by Angki Purbandono (Ruang MES 56) and Grace Samboh.
