Past Exhbitions -- June 2007
Collage in the Expanded Field
Collage has its origins in the Cubist practice of including everyday objects and materials into the world of art making. This exhibition presents the work of artist Joel Carreiro, Hilda Shen, Jackie Shatz, John Morton, Jillian McDonald, Peter Dudek, Carmen Alvarado, Brian Wood and Thomas Weaver, who each have developed innovative collage processes. Collage in the Expanded Field gathers together artists whose works exploit the potential of these mercurial strategies through any means necessary. This exhibition includes site=specific installation, video work, sculpture, and sound.
Project Creo: Bytes & Pieces
