Cut Me Up Issue 15: Obstructions and Disruptions, curated by Todd Bartel and Paloma Trecka, is a selection of 18 artworks that explore acts of obstructing and disrupting in collage. They are catalysts for something unexpected, providing spaces to communicate a resistance to convention—cut, ripped, and rejoined.

Curatorial prompts for Issue 15 artists:

• Incorporate the unexpected.

• Intervene order with disorder.

• Disrupt and counterbalance.

• Break harmony with dissonance.

• Expose underlying patterns and superimposing structures.

• Remove pieces from the whole.

• Consider the unfinished as complete.

• All eligible submissions must incorporate some portion or portions of Cut Me Up: Issue 14.
