The medium of collage allows for the expression of concepts, ideas and emotions through the reinterpretation and recontextualisation of an endless array of discarded and then found materials. But what if there were only a finite amount of pieces to choose from with which to make a collage? Would two collages created by different artists using the same materials end up looking the same, or at least similar? What about ten different collages by ten different artists? Would a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters all eventually write Shakespeare? To the Power of N: Where N Equals 10 set out to answer these questions (except maybe the one about the monkeys). Ten artists were given a package of identical materials that comprised of ten different elements, and each were asked to create a single collage artwork using the pieces provided with the hope that despite using the same components to create their work, each artists individual style and personal vision will result in vastly different artworks.
