12 April-31 May 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chicago Urban Art Society (CUAS) presents a new group exhibition entitled “Medley: A Collage Group Show #2”. This group exhibit, featuring national and international assemblage artmakers, marks the\u00a0gallery’s first 2013 exhibition. The exhibition is curated by Peter Kepha, Director, Chicago Urban Art Society Gallery.<\/p>\n

This is the Chicago Urban Art Society\u2019s second installment of the inaugural group show \u201cMedley\u201d that\u00a0opened on 11 May 2012. The \u201cMedley\u201d series presents artists who work within the genre of collage or assemblage.\u00a0Contrary to the general public’s understanding of this medium as simply affixing papers, ephermera, or objects to a\u00a0two dimensional surface, Kepha selected a grouping of national and international artists who practice collagework\u00a0in both two and three dimensional techniques.<\/p>\n

Looking beyond the expected and pushing constructing boundaries within the digital, analog and sculptural\u00a0collage culture, \u201cMedley\u201d encourages viewers to consider the notion that \u201cWhat you think of collage can always change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Participating Artists:<\/span>
\nEmily Hassach, Chicago; Richard Vergez, Florida; Peter Kepha, Chicago; John D Whitlock, New York; Tom Tebby,\u00a0United Kingdom; Jirayu Koo, New York; Leonardo Ulian, London; Tamar Cohen, New York; Michael Waraksa,\u00a0Chicago; Caco Neves, Sao Paulo; Fred Free, Massachusetts; David \u201cNetherland\u201d van Alphen; Ashkan Honarvar,\u00a0Norway; Jennifer Gunloc, Los Angeles; Cecil Touchon, Colorado; Sammy Slabbinck, Belgium; and others to be\u00a0announced on the gallery’s website.<\/p>\n
