[no title] 1967

Editor: This untitled collage by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi features dense blocks of text, almost like concrete poetry. It feels very… industrial, maybe? What do you see in this piece? Curator: I notice how Paolozzi layers found text, treating language itself as a material. He’s dismantling traditional hierarchies by placing mass-produced printed matter alongside potential sources of 'high' art. Editor: So, the meaning comes from the juxtaposition of materials, not necessarily from the text itself? Curator: Precisely. It's about questioning the means of production and how we consume information. He's really challenging the boundaries between what's considered art and what's just everyday ephemera. Editor: I never thought of text that way before. Curator: It shows us how the artist manipulates what's around them. Materiality drives his message.
