Review | A sweeping look at the inventive, vibrant art of collage
Briefly

Derek Fordjour's "Airborne Double" showcases layered intricacy, expanding the boundaries of collage art. This exhibition highlights significant contributions from 49 contemporary Black American artists.
The artwork displayed in "Multiplicity" captures complex narratives and experiences through large-scale collages, thereby evolving the definition of both collage and the Black American experience in art.
Curator Katie Delmez emphasizes connections between early collage techniques and contemporary abstract expressionism, particularly in the closing section "Toward Abstraction," featuring artists like Sanford Biggers and Mark Bradford.
Mark Bradford's "C'Mon Shorty" illustrates a personal narrative through the use of everyday materials, reflecting the intersection of identity and art, as well as the journey of Black American culture.
