\u201cOver, Under, Next: Experiments in Mixed Media, 1913\u2013Present\u201d is an exhibition of approximately 100 works drawn largely from the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver, Under, Next\u201d surveys an era in which the definition and scope of art were continually expanded through the avant-garde\u2019s embrace of \u201cnon-art\u201d materials. Artists from virtually every major movement of the past century\u2014from\u00a0Cubism, Dada and Surrealism through Abstract Expressionism, Pop and Post-Modernism\u2014participated in the revolution. The exhibition tracks the development of the elements of mixed media, from the wood grain-printed paper of Georges Braque to the beaded Easter baskets of Nick Cave. The roster of unorthodox and incongruous materials includes butterfly wings, glass shards, crumpled automotive metal, jigsaw puzzle pieces, clothing, furniture and coloured sand.<\/p>\n

Artworks and decorative items incorporating glued paper or found objects predate modernism,\u00a0but the birth of collage as a medium in which remnants of the everyday are often jarringly juxtaposed\u00a0with products of the artist\u2019s hand is credited to Braque. In 1912, having worked for several years\u00a0alongside Pablo Picasso in the development of Analytic Cubism, Braque began to incorporate\u00a0swatches of printed paper and oil cloth into his pictures. His Aria de Bach<\/em> (1913), on loan from the\u00a0National Gallery of Art, was made the year after he created the first papier coll\u00e9<\/em> (literally, \u201cpasted\u00a0paper\u201d).<\/p>\n

Work on display includes photomonage by\u00a0Hannah H\u00f6ch; assemblage by Andr\u00e9 Masson, Man Ray, and Joseph Cornell; collage by abstract expressionists John Chamberlain, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline.<\/p>\n

Bridging the divide between painting and sculpture, and between Abstract\u00a0Expressionism and Pop, are the \u201cCombines\u201d of Robert Rauschenberg. Incorporating two- and three-dimensional\u00a0elements\u2014torn posters, newspaper clippings, a metal cap, the rear of a pair of pants\u2014many of which the artist collected on the streets of his Lower Manhattan neighborhood, Dam<\/em> (1966)\u00a0invites viewers to make unexpected connections between word and image, art and everyday life.<\/p>\n

Also included are assemblages by Donald Judd and Eva Hesse and filmed collage by Stan Brakhage and Bruce Conner. Romare Bearden and Lois Maillou Jones used “the clamorous energy of collage” to convey the political tenor of their times. More recently, Colombian artist Doris Salcedo repurposed used furniture as a way to respond to the wave of abduction, torture, and mass murder in her country.<\/p>\n

Damien Hirst (Asthmatic Escaped II<\/em> (1992)) and Ann Hamilton (palimpsest<\/em> (1989)) are two installation artists included in the show.<\/p>\n

By expanding the range of materials available for their work, artists using techniques of\u00a0collage, assemblage and montage have enriched the language of art and extended its potential to\u00a0comment upon life.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver, Under, Next\u201d is organized by associate curator Evelyn Hankins.<\/p>\n
