Collage is the noble conquest of the irrational, the coupling of realities, irreconcilable in appearance, upon a plane which apparently does not suit them. —Max Ernst

il progetto Infamous Collages durante le prime cinque settimane del corso di Graphic Design: Forms and Methods presso il Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Semestre Autunnale 2008. La tecnica del collage mi ha permesso di capire l’importanza del “fare a mano”, soprattutto al giorno d’oggi. Questa forma d’arte permette di lavorare con le immagini, le textures, i pattern e il testo in un modo completamente nuovo, primitivo forse, ma sicuramente molto istintivo, immediato. Il termine Collage (dal francese) indica la tecnica utilizzata per la realizzazione di opere di ogni livello prodotte per mezzo di sovrapposizione di carte, fotografie, oggetti, ritagli di giornale o di rivista. Queste opere o composizioni sono realizzate con l’utilizzo di materiali diversi incollati su un supporto che può essere di vario tipo ma generalmente rigido. La tecnica del Collage venne adottata agli inizi del Novecento per la creazione di opere d’avanguardia, principalmente da esponenti del Cubismo ed in particolare Braque e Picasso, che lo adottà sin dal 1912. Secondo molti il primo in assoluto a trasformare questa tecnica in una forma d’arte e a presentarla al pubblico fu John Heartfield nel 1924 che la usò come terribile arma satirica contro Hitler

e il Nazismo, applicandosi prevalentemente su materiale fotografico. Tra gli altri precursori ricordiamo Raoul Hausmann, Hanna Höch, Paul Citroen, Michael Mejer e in genere tutti gli artisti di riferimento di movimenti come Bauhaus e Dada e addirittura il Surrealismo: Max Ernst, ad esempio utilizzava per i propri lavori incisioni b/n di inizio secolo. Il Collage viene utilizzato anche dai futuristi italiani e da numerosi artisti lungo il corso del ventesimo secolo, tra questi è giusto ricordare Robert Rauschenberg, uno dei principali maestri di questa tecnica e nome di spicco della Pop Art che mette in evidenza oggetti e frammenti della vita quotidiana nello spirito del movimento stesso. E’ come un illuminazione. Hai

una qualita’ lineare dai collage che si puo’ considerare persino piu’ rapida di una pennellata — come disse Thomas Marca Relli. Gli obbiettivi principali di questo progetto sono consistiti nello sviluppare delle competenze intermedie nella tecnica del taglia ed incolla, provando a unire il testo e le immagini basandosi su composizioni con una gerarchia dei contenuti molto chiara. Si e’ trattato di capire in che modo i principi visivi della composizione possono influenzare direttamente il progetto e la comunicazione del progetto.

Select a sound effect album-this album will be the fuel for your explorations over the next five weeks.Listen and relisten. Create an archive of collected and authored imagery that relates to your album. Divide your content into two categories/folders: abstract image: patterns, textures, ornaments, shapes, and indexical signs (signs that indicate direction: dotted lines, arrows). Image (representational/abstract): photographs, illustrations, pictograms, symbols, etcetera. Make sure there is diversity in the style in which these images are rendered, such as photography, cartography, line-art, etc. You will need to collect samples from as many different sources as possible-from a variety of regions, user groups, time periods, media origins. This will increase the success of your end results. Relying on the

internet as a singular research device is not acceptable; the resolution of most images will be too low to use in your final project. Authoring your own photography, illustration, handwork is encouraged. When you photograph,make sure you consider various vantage points, micro and macro, texture, isolating your subject matter. Take notes and make sketches along the way. You and your classmates will create a digital image bank housed on our class server; it will hold a wide variety of images to build from over the next couple weeks. It may be helpful to make contact sheets so that you have a working knowledge of the inventory of images. Your source material and sketches will be contained in a final process book, so stay organized throughout the project. Save everything.


PART TWO Typographic template

PART THREE Abstract/image compositions

Analyze your content. There will be various tiers of type- consider how you’ll treat the headline, headers, subheads, body copy, lists, captions, etc. Feel free to add layered info/do not subtract content. The typographic structure that you create will be the basis for your future collages. Please be very considerate in selecting your typeface{s). I suggest limiting yourself to a type family; you may use one additional typeface if you see fit. Your layouts and typography should be organized yet evoke the essence of your subject matter- it may be expressive and dramatic or calm and melancholy. Consider typographic details: size, weight, leading, kerning, margins, proportions, justifications, line length, etc. to create relationships and contrasts. Use your knowledge of gestalt, grids, composition, and hierarchy. Note: No imagery/rules/decorative ornaments/ fields of color; only typography in this first study. Text can bleed off the edge. Black and white; no color or greyscale.Come to class with at least three template studiesllayouts (and all process). Trim compositions to size. Black and white laser printouts. If you are working on the computer you must printout your sketches at periodic intervals so we can visualize your process. Place sketches in three-ring binder. You need to have a strong text template before you can successfully move onto the next layout. This will be the framework for your future studies.

Replace the typographic hierarchy from layout one (the template) with your collected imagery. Interpret the verbal message of your layout using all types of imagery that you’ve collected: from highly abstract to representational. Abstract images may include: patterns, textures, and indexical signs, dots, lines, etc. Images may include: photography, illustration, halftone images, linear!. Maintain the original verbal hierarchy on your text template with nonverbal imageryconsider the rhythm and relationships of your typography and translate into imagery. Do not simply replace the text with image elements, but follow the basic structure of the original. Develop liberal visual themes using previously existing composition and its positive/negative space, weight variations, scale variations. Be aware of how the scale, styles and shapes of the imagery effects the dynamics of the layout. Eye movement can be mapped to further animate the layout as well as reinforce hierarchy. Fine details and gestures should be included; elements should be integrated. Develop layouts that express a vi.sual theme and are conceptual in nature. Be aware of how connotations within each image effects neighboring or sequential images. The success of your concept will be determined by the accuracy of your image selection, manipulation and the sequence in which these images are interpreted.

TIGER: The lion’s roar is easy to recognize. The tiger’s voice is not as loud as the lion’s but is extremely savage. Zoo Tigers generally growl and snarl at feeding time. A keeper has given a ten-pound meat steak to a large Female Siberian Tiger. The cat is crouched over it’s dinner, growling and snarling at the man who is preparing food for a puma that can be heard in the background. RHINOCEROS: The African black Rhinoceros become restless at feeding time. Since these animal are treacherous , keepers place their hay and grain in an adjoing stall. One Male Rhinoceros usually bangs the iron door with its horns and utters a plaintive call. RESUME MONKEYS: Indian Makacos or rhesus monkeys are perhaps one of the most popular of the old world monkeys to be seen in any zoo. They are noisy and give voice to a number of sounds under various conditions. RHEA The Rhea or so called American ostrich is a large flightless south American bird. In the spring the males or cocks attack each other viciously and utter a deep blooming call. After the female Rhea lays its eggs, the male incubates them and cares for the babies. Young Rheas follows their father and cry...CHIMPAZEES: Zoo men who work with chimpanzees can recognize individuals and their movements by voice alone...Several Chimpanzees await their morning meal.The apes are very active, jump up and down and loudly slap the sides of their enclosures with their hands and feet. Breakfast consisting of milk and fruit is being served...It is amusing to hear them grunt as they peal and eat their bananas and oranges. Listen to what happens when the Chimpanzees are interrupted while eating and their food taken away. Just before feeding time they all started to whine and cry for their food. As their keeper approaches with grain, fruit, vegetables and bread, the tempo and cries change….Squabbles invariably arise during meal-time, but finally all the monkeys are fed.Chimpanzees use a variety of extremely expressive sounds.There is some doubt as to whether these great apes actually have the power of speech. However, one study has classified meaningful sounds into those which have to do first with food including waiting to be fed and actual eating; and secondly those sounds associated with people and other creatures which include…or so-called talking among themselves. A young Chimpanzee is told to sit on a chair alone. It pleads to leave and tries to sidle off the seat. When not permitted to do so...During the daily play period the Chimpanzees roll and tumble on the floor with their keeper….Someone enters the Chimpanzee house and is greeted...A keeper is teaching an ape to make a resounding good-bye kiss...The keeper leaves the building for the day and the apes sound unhappy. PECCARIES: Peccaries are the American members of the swine group. They resemble small dark pigs with manes which can stand up and bristle when the animals are aroused. At the zoo these creatural are very noisy during feeding time. A keeper opens an iron door The Peccaries start munching and chewing their meal of celery and then several engage in a short argument...Peccaries have very sharp and strong tusks in both jaws which they click together rapidly when angered...HIPPOPOTAMUS: The Hippopotamus on occasion gives vent to loud snorts and roars. Despite its large size this animal can move rapidly. This female Hippopotamus seems to delight in snorting and for no apparent reason frequently rolls over and over in the water like a spinning log. PUMA: The Puma or cougar is a large cat found in North and South America. Pumas sometimes scream in a wierd and startling manner. A gentle male Puma enjoys baving its head scratched and its body rubbed. The cat is pressing against the bars of the cage. After some prolonged petting on the part of the keeper, this puma responds with a variety of calls, . and will frequently purr like any contented house cat. A not so gentle female puma is the mother of two kittens. Curiously she becomes enraged at the sight of certain keepers and by yowling and spitting, voices her displeasure in no uncertain terms...LION: Feeding time in the lion house is always exciting and noisy. The huge cats pace back and forth impatiently awaiting their meal...Two keepers feed the cats. One opens a small gate in the cage with an iron bar. The second spears a piece of meat with a big fork and shoves it through the gate. The roar of the African Lion is awe-inspiring sound and the. Lion house actually trembles when all the cats roar at the same time. At the zoo the Lions can be depended upon to roar about half an hour after feeding. INDIAN ELEPHANT: The Indian Elephant utters a number of sounds. Some originate in the throat and others are produced by blowing air through the trunk. The famous shrill trumpet varying in sound indicates anger or want. Loud throat roar is caused by extreme anger. Low deep rumbling in the base of the trunk expresses contentment. A soft warning sound is made by rapping the tip of the trunk on the ground...During their daily outdoor show frequently the elephant will loudly express their resentment. When the elephants are exercised indoors their voices echo throughout the building. Some of their musical trumpets sound like rifle shots. DOMESTIC FOWL: Everyone has heard the crowing of a Rooster telling the world that he is cock of the walk, but many people do not know that chickens have many other vocalizations that have special meanings. We would like to play some of these sounds and as we play each one describe the meaning which we believe each sound or signal has for other chickens. When a baby Chick is lost, cold, or hungry, it gives distress calls. When the baby Chick is returned to its companions or to the warm incubator from the cold, or is given food, it gives pleasure or contentment notes. These notes, unlike the distress calls sound quite pleasant to the human ear. Another group of sound Signals are made by mother hens to attract her Chicks. As the brooding hen walks along she keeps clucking to the chicks and this clucking means 'follow me’. When the mother hen discovers some grain or other food she scratches and pecks at the food and calls her Chicks with excited food calls and the Chicks come running from all directions. At night-fall the mother hen finds and settles down in a good place where she wiehes to spend the nilbt and calls her Chicks to come and be brooded, using a special roostint call that to our ears sounds like the purring of a contented cat. Chickens have various notes to express different deveea and kinds of danger. One of these warnings sipifies a ground predator such as an approaching dog or mzn. When a hawk fiies into the chicken yard the adult chickens each live a loud scream and thia hawk warnin, causes the Chicks to run and hide at once under or next to any nearby object. In conclusion, these various recorded sounds suggest that just as man has his own special language. so chickens have their own special vocal communication which help them 'to solve their own living problems’. GOATS AND SHEEP: Goats and sheep have a number of vocalizations that serve as a means of communication. Some examples will be given of these vocal signals which have been recorded on magnetic tape. Goats have a warning call against predators; for example, mother Goats may snort on smelling or seeing dogs. When a kid is separated from its mother, the kid gives distress calls. These are high-pitched and prolonged cries. A mother Goat separated from her kid bleats in distress. These calls are high-pitched relatively prolonged notes. When a kid is returned to its mother, she shifts to a lower-pitched attraction call. A lamb separated from its mother gives high, prolonged distresl calls. When a ewe is separated from her lamb she calls her characteristic Baaaaa and when her lamb is returned she shifts to a lower-pitched gurgling note. The mother of a new-born lamb calls repeatedly in the low gurgling voice that apparently attracts the lamb. A mother Goat with a new-born kid gives low segmented calls repeatedly and these calls apparently attract the kid. Billy-Goat gives a rolling sex-call as he approaches and comes next to a female in heat. He does some snorting as well. A rival male approaches the same oestrus female. The Buly-Goat moans loudly and attacks his rival. Goats may give low, relatively prolonged threat sounds just before driving competitors from a food supply. Threat sounds are interspersed with thrashing of horns. It may be remarked that Sheep also give the rolling sex-call and threat sounds and in quite similar form to these sounds as given by goats. In conclusion, these various recorded sounds help illustrate some of the functions and similarities of vocal communication among goats and sheep.

SIDE A Introduction And Tiger

Rhinocerous Rhesus Monkeys Rhea Chimapzee Peccary Hippopotamous Puma Indian Elephant Lion Recorded By Arthur M. Greenhall

SIDE B Domestic Fowl Goats And Cicks Recorded By Nicholas Collias

TIGER: The lion’s roar is easy to recognize. The tiger’s voice is not as loud as the lion’s but is extremely savage. Zoo Tigers generally growl and snarl at feeding time. A keeper has given a ten-pound meat steak to a large Female Siberian Tiger. The cat is crouched over it’s dinner, growling and snarling at the man who is preparing food for a puma that can be heard in the background. RHINOCEROS: The African black Rhinoceros become restless at feeding time. Since these animal are treacherous , keepers place their hay and grain in an adjoing stall. One Male Rhinoceros usually bangs the iron door with its horns and utters a plaintive call. RESUME MONKEYS: Indian Makacos or rhesus monkeys are perhaps one of the most popular of the old world monkeys to be seen in any zoo. They are noisy and give voice to a number of sounds under various conditions. RHEA The Rhea or so called American ostrich is a large flightless south American bird. In the spring the males or cocks attack each other viciously and utter a deep blooming call. After the female Rhea lays its eggs, the male incubates them and cares for the babies. Young Rheas follows their father and cry...CHIMPAZEES: Zoo men who work with chimpanzees can recognize individuals and their movements by voice alone...Several Chimpanzees await their morning meal.The apes are very active, jump up and down and loudly slap the sides of their enclosures with their hands and feet. Breakfast consisting of milk and fruit is being served...It is amusing to hear them grunt as they peal and eat their bananas and oranges. Listen to what happens when the Chimpanzees are interrupted while eating and their food taken away. Just before feeding time they all started to whine and cry for their food. As their keeper approaches with grain, fruit, vegetables and bread, the tempo and cries change….Squabbles invariably arise during meal-time, but finally all the monkeys are fed.Chimpanzees use a variety of extremely expressive sounds.There is some doubt as to whether these great apes actually have the power of speech. However, one study has classified meaningful sounds into those which have to do first with food including waiting to be fed and actual eating; and secondly those sounds associated with people and other creatures which include…or so-called talking among themselves. A young Chimpanzee is told to sit on a chair alone. It pleads to leave and tries to sidle off the seat. When not permitted to do so...During the daily play period the Chimpanzees roll and tumble on the floor with their keeper….Someone enters the Chimpanzee house and is greeted...A keeper is teaching an ape to make a resounding good-bye kiss...The keeper leaves the building for the day and the apes sound unhappy. PECCARIES: Peccaries are the American members of the swine group. They resemble small dark pigs with manes which can stand up and bristle when the animals are aroused. At the zoo these creatural are very noisy during feeding time. A keeper opens an iron door The Peccaries start munching and chewing their meal of celery and then several engage in a short argument...Peccaries have very sharp and strong tusks in both jaws which they click together rapidly when angered...HIPPOPOTAMUS: The Hippopotamus on occasion gives vent to loud snorts and roars. Despite its large size this animal can move rapidly. This female Hippopotamus seems to delight in snorting and for no apparent reason frequently rolls over and over in the water like a spinning log. PUMA: The Puma or cougar is a large cat found in North and South America. Pumas sometimes scream in a wierd and startling manner. A gentle male Puma enjoys baving its head scratched and its body rubbed. The cat is pressing against the bars of the cage. After some prolonged petting on the part of the keeper, this puma responds with a variety of calls, . and will frequently purr like any contented house cat. A not so gentle female puma is the mother of two kittens. Curiously she becomes enraged at the sight of certain keepers and by yowling and spitting, voices her displeasure in no uncertain terms...LION: Feeding time in the lion house is always exciting and noisy. The huge cats pace back and forth impatiently awaiting their meal...Two keepers feed the cats. One opens a small gate in the cage with an iron bar. The second spears a piece of meat with a big fork and shoves it through the gate. The roar of the African Lion is awe-inspiring sound and the. Lion house actually trembles when all the cats roar at the same time. At the zoo the Lions can be depended upon to roar about half an hour after feeding. INDIAN ELEPHANT: The Indian Elephant utters a number of sounds. Some originate in the throat and others are produced by blowing air through the trunk. The famous shrill trumpet varying in sound indicates anger or want. Loud throat roar is caused by extreme anger. Low deep rumbling in the base of the trunk expresses contentment. A soft warning sound is made by rapping the tip of the trunk on the ground...During their daily outdoor show frequently the elephant will loudly express their resentment. When the elephants are exercised indoors their voices echo throughout the building. Some of their musical trumpets sound like rifle shots. DOMESTIC FOWL: Everyone has heard the crowing of a Rooster telling the world that he is cock of the walk, but many people do not know that chickens have many other vocalizations that have special meanings. We would like to play some of these sounds and as we play each one describe the meaning which we believe each sound or signal has for other chickens. When a baby Chick is lost, cold, or hungry, it gives distress calls. When the baby Chick is returned to its companions or to the warm incubator from the cold, or is given food, it gives pleasure or contentment notes. These notes, unlike the distress calls sound quite pleasant to the human ear. Another group of sound Signals are made by mother hens to attract her Chicks. As the brooding hen walks along she keeps clucking to the chicks and this clucking means 'follow me’. When the mother hen discovers some grain or other food she scratches and pecks at the food and calls her Chicks with excited food calls and the Chicks come running from all directions. At night-fall the mother Flokways records and service 43w. 61st ST, N.Y.C. long finds and settles down in a good place where she wiehes to spend the nilbt and calls her Chicks to come and be brooded, using a special roostint call that to our ears sounds like the purring corp. playing non- breakable micro of a contented cat. Chickens have various notes to express different deveea and kinds of danger. One of these warnings sipifies a ground predator such as an approaching dog or mzn. When groove 331/brpm unauthorized of this recordings a hawk flies into the chicken yard the adult chickens each live a loud scream and thia hawk warnin, causes the Chicks to run and hide at once under or next to any nearby object. In conclusion reproduction prohibited by federal law and these various recorded sounds suggest that just as man has his own special language. so chickens have their own special vocal communication which help them 'to solve their own living problems. subject to criminal, prosecution.
