AN EVENING WITH WANJA BELAGA AND FAMILY&FRIENDS

CUT TO REALITY

At the time of going to print, it was not yet known what kind of collages would be attached. No wonder, because these are first trimmed. Wanja doesn't want to show old stuff, his scissors want to process fresh meat, not eat old carcasses! Should his project fail, then we think of what Hölderlin is said to have said: "It serves most artists right that they are hanged!"

In the collage, things come together that don't belong together, things that would otherwise never have found each other are sought out, one thing sticks to the other, where it would voluntarily push off and bite. Paper is patient, it can be cut, cut out, glued, copied, grouped. Paper templates serve a new purpose, they are snatched from their purpose and sometimes given a new meaning, sometimes nonsense.
