“Wer sucht, findet nicht, aber wer nicht sucht, wird gefunden.” –Franz Kafka

Musterzimmer presents Winter Collage, an exhibition with ten international artists coming together for the first time to explore the art of collage. The history of collage dates back to the invention of paper more than two thousand years ago. In the visual arts, the technique of assembling different forms, materials and ideas became prominent among painters and sculptors during the early stages of 20th century modernism. Ever since, collage art has developed into new dimensions by means of photography, video and performance.
