The International Museum of Collage and Assemblage
The International Museum of Collage, Assemblage, and Construction (IMCAC) is a renowned art institution located in Pagosa Springs, CO. Founded in the 1990s by Cecil Touchon as a department of the Ontological Museum of the International Post Dogmatist Group, the IMCAC is dedicated to preserving, studying, and exhibiting contemporary collage, assemblage, and constructive art from artists all over the world. With an extensive archive of thousands of works, the museum serves as an artist-run project that aims to capture the essence of the contemporary art scene through its inclusive collection program. The Ontological Museum, which houses the IMCAC, was established by Cecil Touchon as a platform for documenting the International Post Dogmatist Group, a response to the concept of Post Modernism. The group, founded in 1987 by Touchon, Patrick O'Kelly, and Charles Schneider, operates as the Official Avant Garde, emphasizing the importance of individual creativity and self-expression. The museum, seen as an assemblage of assembled things or a Total Work of Art, serves as a testament to the group's philosophy of looking inward for true innovation and authenticity in art.Generated from the website
