Collage is one of the most popular and pervasive of all art-forms,
yet this is the first historical survey book ever published on the
subject. Featuring over 200 works, ranging from the 1500s to the
present day, it offers an entirely new approach. Hitherto, collage
has been presented as a twentieth-century phenomenon, linked in
particular to Pablo Picasso and Cubism in the years just before the
First World War. In Cut and Paste: 400 Years of Collage, we trace
its origins back to books and prints of the 1500s, through to the
boom in popularity of scrapbooks and do-it-yourself collage during
the Victorian period, and then through Cubism, Futurism, Dada and
Surrealism. Collage became the technique of choice in the 1960s and
1970s for anti-establishment protest, and in the present day is
used by millions of us through digital devices. The definition of
collage employed here is a broad one, encompassing cut-and-pasted
paper, photography, patchwork, film and digital technology and
ranging from work by professionals to unknown makers, amateurs and
children. Published to accompany an exhibition at the National
Gallery of Scotland, June-October 2019.

Simon Moretti is known for his enigmatic exhibition works,
presenting displays that engage with questions of agency,
temporality, automatism, desire and masculinity. Incorporating
appropriated images and archives as well as curatorial and
publishing projects, often made in collaboration with other
artists, his work addresses the role of 'curating as practice'.
Presented as a non-chronological visual essay, this publication
surveys 10 years of collage works by Moretti. It includes text
contributions from writer Craig Burnett, curator and art historian
Yuval Etgar, novelists Deborah Levy and Chloe Aridjis, and a
conversation with Andrew Durbin, editor-in-chief of frieze
magazine.
