“Putting the Pieces Back Together” is a juried exhibition of collages and constructions by 105 artists from twenty-two states. The works express the idea of putting life back together after the COVID-19 pandemic. University of Rhode Island Professor of Art Bob Dilworth served as juror. The organizers received over 430 submissions for the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith interest from artists across the country, this national exhibit of collage and construction invited artists to express themselves about the impact of the pandemic,\u201d said the Bristol Art Museum\u2019s Exhibition Curator, Mary Dondero. \u201cArtists were invited to cut, rip, layer, and paste, re-contextualize, digitally stitch, create and build art from fragments that suggest new narratives, explore human relationships that reveal coded memories, dreams, or desires. The result is a collection of unique pieces that document the pandemic from several perspectives representative of many geographic locations throughout the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis national call not only provides an opportunity to highlight the practice of these disciplines, it also gives expression in a time of challenge and defiance to what we have come to term \u2018the new normal,\u2019\u201d said Prof. Dilworth. \u201cIt is encouraging to see how creativity reflects real life as artists compose, build and construct with whatever materials are at hand – fabric, paper, metal, rope, wire, or nails; as they reorganize, readjust, acclimate, reorient and reacquaint themselves to this unique moment. In this regard, each work in the show is a triumph.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
