“Poetic Logic: Collage and Assemblage”
\n16 January-26 February 2016<\/h2>\n

The exhibition features the work of 29 artists from 13 states, including Pittsburgh artist Ron Copeland.<\/p>\n

In the early 20th century, with the advent of mass production of materials and media, artists like Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Kurt Schwitters began developing collage as a way of reappropriating and repurposing materials and images to imbue their works with juxtaposed information that expressed a kind of poetic logic of association. In our current culture of mass information and media, it is not surprising that artists are finding a continued purpose in investigating such relevant processes. This national juried exhibition showcases\u00a0artists working in collage and assemblage, incorporating elements of repurposed materials as a way of expressing our contemporary experience.<\/p>\n

Artists Include:\u00a0Erin Anfinson, Elizabeth Asche Douglas, Brad Bianchi, Joe Castro<\/a>, Ron Copeland,\u00a0Sharon Covington, Craig Deppen Auge, David Dumo, Jeff Falk, Lorraine Glessner,\u00a0Leah Gose, Bethany Haeseler, Cheryl Hochberg, Sisavanh Houghton, Han Huisman, Blythe King,\u00a0Ray Klimek, Armin Muhsam, Clare Murray Adams, Ron Nigro, Laure-Helene Oakes-Caseau,\u00a0Erwin “Tres” Roemer III<\/a>, Nicole Schneider, Sarah Simmons, Stacie Speer Scott, Margaret Suchland,\u00a0Grace Summanen, Will Ursprung, Gwen Waight, and Michael Willet.<\/p>\n
