Quadrivium at CES Contemporary

16 February-21 March 2013

“Quadrivium” is an exhibition of contemporary collage featuring the work of Lola Dupré, Shusuke Ao, Jordan Clark, Gordon Magnin, Robert Larson, Val Britton, Irina & Silviu Szekely, and Justin Angelos. The historic quadrivium comprised four core subjects, or arts, taught in the Renaissance Period. The word is Latin, translating roughly to a “place where four roads meet.” These cores consisted of arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy, and were rooted in thinking skills for their theoretical applications.

The titles of Sara Pearce’s collages have clever, wordy titles and are sensitive to historic notions and objects. They point out our cultural fallacies and explore contemporary and historical notions of gender, equality, and the battle of the sexes.
