This new version of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelleys classic 19th century novel Frankenstein or, the Modern Prometheus features seventysix illustrations by International Collage Artists who delved into the novels rich narrative and visual potential and created thoughtprovoking artworks that reflect the essence of Frankenstein in a 21st century context. "Frankenstein," writes artist David Edward Johnson, "The name alone conjures a lightning storm of images. From corpses, unholy and unearthed, to gothic laboratories, alive with galvanic impulse, to personal loss, longing, and anger. Shelleys 1818 masterwork is locked in our collective unconscious like a fever dream. Since childhood, I have been in love with its silent shudders and mosscovered 19thcentury tableaus." Artists created illustrations that connected Shelleys text to contemporary issues. Artists explored the role of science and artificial intelligence, queerness, intersectional identities, narcissism, and modern relationships. "Shelleys timelessness is proven by our ability to use her novel to reflect on our world today," said Kolaj Institute Director Ric Kasini Kadour. "Collage artists, with their unique ability to transcend scale, place, and history, are wellsuited to giving us pictures that bring vintage texts into the contemporary moment."
