These three experimental techniques can challenge the boundaries of traditional or rigid categories of art by incorporating found objects or repurposed imagery alongside hand-applied materials, creating new compositions and new meanings and offering a reflective approach to questions of authorship. Now, enter “Assembled: Collage, Assemblage and Mixed Media” an exhibition carefully curated to celebrate a selection of works of artists who have done just that. Drawing on a key strength of the collection, the exhibition highlights works built through accumulation, juxtaposition, and transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
