Cut Me Up Issue 1: First Call
36 Pages
$14

This first issue is the starting point for Cut Me Up featuring 19 original artworks made for the Issue by Andrea Burgay.

The First Call consists of the the eighteen original collages created for this inaugural issue. They are an offering to be considered, absorbed, and then deconstructed. These use handmade and found paper fragments to reveal the transformative power of the creative process and channel the magic of the everyday world. These works explore personal experiences, including spirituality; themes of growth, deterioration and rebirth; ritual; and secret dreams.

Cut Me Up provides an intimate point of entry to an artist’s work. It lets us collaborate from afar with someone you may have never met. An idea or concept, a fragment of texture or color, any component will be the starting point for something new. Cut Me Up shifts us away from the preciousness of the art object, encouraging us to imagine artworks as malleable, evolving structures. 

About Cut Me Up:
Cut Me Up is a participatory magazine of visual call and response founded by Andrea Burgay. Each issue presents a curated selection of original collage images that will become raw material for reader-artists to respond by cutting, reconfiguring, and transforming them into new artworks, in response to curatorial calls addressing contemporary issues. The newly created responses form the content of the next issue.
