Collusion
Ade Hanft & Duane Toops

After a brief winter recess, PUNCH opens its literal and proverbial doors again this Saturday, February 7 to kick off another exciting year of exhibitions and events. Collusion showcases the collage and video works of artists Ade Hanft and Duane Toops. This two-person exhibition presents both analogue, hand-made collages as well as video-based works, some of which are the results of collaborative efforts between the two artists. For Hanft and Toops, beauty is hiding in plain sight waiting to be discovered. By embracing lo-fi techniques and non-traditional methods, they find inventive ways to remix old ideas in new ways.

Ade Hanft

Ade Hanft is Colorado-based experimental artist known for his looping animations that are printed on receipts. His Instagram account (@ade3) tends to show the meticulous process of his work. Ade uses timelapse techniques to condense hours of work down to seconds. His non-traditional methods have led him to invent thermal printmaking techniques, one-of-a-kind cameras, and novel approaches to animation.

Duane Toops

Duane Toops is a collage maker in Melbourne, Florida. Through the medium of collage, he attempts to examine the fragments, fractals, and facets of the human experience; joy and sorrow, presence and absence, memory and longing, selfhood and identity, hope and despair, with the aim of discovering the ways in which they all connect and cohere.
