Irrationally Speaking: Collage & Assemblage in Contemporary Art

Irrationally Speaking: Collage & Assemblage in Contemporary Art

Irrationally Speaking highlights two art forms—collage and assemblage—as artistic techniques and conceptual approaches. With the simple act of placing two or more distinct images or objects together (sometimes jarringly so) artists can create a complex whole to address a multiplicity of meanings. Combined wood fragments, cut-and-pasted paper, seamless digital and photo-based prints comprised of disparate pictures, bronze sculptures created from discarded shoes, and contrasting clothing articles put together —these are some of the ways that contemporary artists harness a myriad of materials and methods to craft the art in this presentation.

Irrationally Speaking will be on view 9.21.24 - 8.31.25
