Merging the physical ephermera with digital applications, the artworks challenge antiquated notions of still life, and offer a surreal representation of nature.

“Everything but the Kitchen Knife” is a showcase of digital collage artists who are pushing the media forward in the new age.
The exhibition title pulls from one of the first and most prominent pieces of collage “Cut with the Kitchen Knife Dada Through the Last Weimar Beer Belly Cultural Epoch of Germany” by Hannah Höch. In her title, Höch references the tool of the kitchen knife, emphasizing the once analog process of photomontage.
This exhibition aims to show the growth of the medium since its inception, through an array of artists and processes. With new programs that have expanded the possibilities of cut & paste and an internet full of infinite source material, the artists are using everything at their disposal, well “Everything but the Kitchen Knife”.
