News Articles

Legacy of Photomontage: Engineering The Photograph Opens March 16 at UT Dallas
Marilyn Waligore, an associate professor in the School of Arts and Humanities at The University of Texas at Dallas, will serve as curator of the exhibit Legacy of Photomontage: Engineering the Photograph, on display in the main gallery of the university’s Visual Arts Building from March 16 to April 13.  

The exhibition, which is free and open to the public, will feature works by several artists, including Yoon Cho, Enrique Fernández Cervantes, Carolina Kile, Stephen Marc and Gordon Young.  These contemporary artists expand upon the practice of photomontage, which involves making a picture by assembling pieces of photographs, often in combination with other types of graphic material.  Photomontage was “invented” by the Berlin Dada artists who, according to Dadaist Raoul Hausmann, thought of themselves as engineers seeking “to construct and assemble” their works.
