Beschreibung

For Joanne Leonard, preserving newspaper clippings is something of an urgent task since future generations may know only digital versions of these fragile pages of newspaper. The artist juxtaposes the fleeting news images with more stable images in books. By doing so, she creates a conversation between present and past while emphasizing the relative permanence of books over newsprint. Both manage to be deeply relevant to the collective shifts of society. These new works are what the artist describes as momentary collages with recently clipped news images carefully propped up on the book’s open pages.
