Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads The sculptural assemblages of Abraham Cruzvillegas often appear precarious, fragile, and haphazard, creating a heightened awareness of their fragility — and a fear of tripping over a taught rope or delicately balanced chair.
She uses gauze, canvas, paper, cotton, wood, and other elements to make colorful mixed media assemblages that look like sculptures intentionally migrating towards the wall, or paintings wanting to come down to engage the solidity of the ground.

The dark, fetid-looking assemblages of the reclusive Hannelore Baron (1926-1987) were made in the security of her Riverdale, Bronx, home but are saturated with a sense of panicked fatalism instilled by the Holocaust, which she had narrowly escaped.
The records she's made over the last decade have often been jagged assemblages of abstract sound—jigsaw puzzles with edges as sharp as knives—but she's slowly changed her approach to favor more gentle moments, more melody, and soothing whispered poetry.
When: Closes Saturday, January 7, 10am–6pm Where: Hannah Hoffman Gallery (1010 N Highland Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles) The late artist Paul Thek is known primarily for his assemblages and installations that suffused everyday and ephemeral materials with a spiritual quality.

His opposition took the form of dark assemblages made from the detritus of modern life that include some of the most forceful evocations of American violence in 20th-century art, and often ecstatic black-and-white films that protest the world's destructive powers.
With a few outstanding exceptions, like "Tick-Tock Jelly Clock Cosmotron," which features a colorful game board and its own scratching, wheezing audio accompaniment, the assemblages tend to look dated, like exuberantly nihilistic juvenilia, although I suppose they are credible antecedents of goth.
Paul Seamus Ryan, vice president of policy and litigation at the nonprofit money in politics watchdog group Common Cause, said there could still be a conflict of interest because Bolton looks to be holding onto some authority within his two political fundraising assemblages.
Some objects are mere assemblages of atoms to us, and have only a physical dimension; when we think of them, he says, we adopt a "physicalist stance"—the stance we inhabit when, using equations, we predict the direction of a tropical storm.
On one hand, I'm relieved to find that the work is outstanding: digestible 2' x 3' collages; sticker-covered sculptures recalling the verve of the city; newspaper and printer paper assemblages scattered just to make you feel the rush of Manhattan's West Side.
The funky homemade vibe of the front room, where the works on paper are pinned to the wall, is magnified in the second gallery, where objects of different sizes lean against the wall, and assemblages have been placed on a long table.
A key to understanding these assemblages, and Taylor's insistence that they were in fact paintings, is that color (unaltered from the found element's original pigmentation), line (in the form of metal wire), and the graphic counterpoint of shadows on the wall remained his chief concerns.
Marisol, a Venezuelan-American artist who fused Pop Art imagery and folk art in assemblages and sculptures that, together with her mysterious, Garboesque persona, made her one of the most compelling artists on the New York scene in the 21946s, died on Saturday in Manhattan.
It's not just static—though I certainly have been known to appreciate records that are—they use varying shades of atonality to paint a complicated darkness, twisting feedback and squelches and real-as-fuck riffing around one another in these terrifying and brilliant assemblages.
While Twombly spent time sketching African objects in the ethnographic museum, Rauschenberg worked on three separate series: about 30 collages mounted on shirt boards from the laundry, 30 "Scatole Personali" and a group of "Feticci Personali," which were assemblages incorporating sticks, bones, beads and fur.
Despite his international acclaim, he has had few recent shows in the US. At the Center of the World is his first North American retrospective featuring 200 works ranging from sculptural assemblages to collage, painting, performance, and video that deftly weave the personal and political.
Melvin Edwards's muscular metal assemblages from his Lynch Fragment series (1960s–ongoing) (of which there are four) are installed on the east wall, and "The Albino" (1972) by Barbara Chase-Riboud is installed on the west wall, punctuated by a view of the Sculpture Garden.

A rip-roaring display of works by the French-American artist Arman, in the Sperone Westwater booth, unites a dozen of his 1960s assemblages, in which everyday junk — light bulbs, doll parts, rusty faucets — is shoved into glass boxes or immured in resin blocks.
His sculptures started out clearly enough as polite, wheel-thrown vessels but evolved into nervy and transgressive abstract paintings, looming behemoths fired in industrial-size kilns, precarious assemblages and live-wire performances (no ritual immolation but lots of smashing and dropping of plates and vases).
I've come to see a sculpture entitled "Cost of Living (Aleyda)," by Josh Kline, one of a series, for which Kline, who is thirty-six, interviewed janitorial workers and then used 22011-D-printing technology to create sculptural assemblages based on scans of their bodies.
Ever since his 1999 discovery of a bag full of metal seals from African liquor bottles, Anatsui has continually worked on wall assemblages made of bottle caps, crushing the found elements into circles or cutting them into strips, subsequently sewing the parts together to form monumental tapestries.

The present ones are, in the main space, fuzzy, poetic photographs by Maxine Henryson of mostly European locales; assemblages by MaryKate Maher that reference the environment and climate change; and Alison Owen's works using postcards, correspondence and other ephemera through which people "connect" (her word) and communicate.
Regally rounding out the exhibit with one of her austere and thoughtful assemblages is Marie Torbensdatter Hermann, whose minimalist "Dialogue of a day, #B" (2015) demonstrates a departure from the self-made ceramic shelves that were the basis of her 2015 solo show at Simone DeSousa Gallery.
Some highlights include Margaret Roleke's dense sculptures made from shotgun shells, alluding to this country's intensifying gun violence; work by German artist Sonia Barrett, who makes uncanny assemblages of furniture evoking dismembered bodies; and Paola Citterio's feminist pieces that often combine soft felt with iron forms.
It will not surprise those familiar with his idiosyncratic, enigmatic works — assemblages of deadpan observations and stories, not quite sung and yet something more than spoken — that "Quicksand" is a spy tale that keeps slipping beyond its genre, into ruminations on love, the Pittsburgh Steelers, country music, Jane Austen.
This is a show where charmed wanderings and distributions of assemblages prevail; the artists mix psychic and erotic perspectives and points of view into a general sense of the entwining, entangling, and knotting of hemp cord, hair, strips of leather, gold threads, blades of grass, raffia, rope, and fabric.
Comprised of carved wood and found objects, Whitten's assemblages are distinctly African-influenced but are also linked to Crete, the island where the NY-based painter sojourned each summer with his family to fish and swim and make sculpture far away from the commercial art world and market.
And Peter Funch himself, in an earlier project, "Babel Tales" (2006-11), created dense assemblages of repeated gestures or outfits (people carrying yellow envelopes or black umbrellas, people wearing red or posing for a photograph) by digitally layering a large number of figures into a single street scene.

After some iffy abstract paintings, Rama started to produce strange, alluring assemblages that incorporated flaccid inner tubes — a nod to her father, who killed himself after the family bicycle factory went bust — and, in her 2685s, sewn and sutured textile works inspired by the outbreak of mad cow disease.
After some iffy abstract paintings, Rama started to produce strange, alluring assemblages that incorporated flaccid inner tubes — a nod to her father, who killed himself after the family bicycle factory went bust — and, in her 70s, sewn and sutured textile works inspired by the outbreak of mad cow disease.
She claimed Pollock as her great discovery, which he was, and still is, though the show yields plenty of other discoveries: Joseph Cornell assemblages, Franz Marc horses and cows, and splendid things by artists — Claire Falkenstein, Perle Fine, Alice Trumbull Mason, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva — you rarely see.
It showcases, too, an unusual series of brightly colored, often large, oil-on-canvas pictures of teeth; assorted mixed-media sculptures, including "Doppelbirne (2 Birnen)" ("Double Pear (2 Pears)," 1989), a whitewashed, string-tied pair of twisted tree branches; and a selection of mixed-media collages and box assemblages.
Norman Brosterman, a dealer from Long Island, will present recently discovered assemblages made with assorted found materials, including action figures and other toys, by the Staten Island resident John Foxell (1944-2016), who suffered from PTSD after witnessing up close the September 2001 destruction of the World Trade Center.

Image: DSS and Pan-STARRS1 (Optical), XMM-Newton (X-rays) PLANCK Satellite (y paramter), F. Govoni, M. Murgia, INAFScientists have detected radio waves emanating from the space between a pair of galaxy clusters—evidence of intergalactic magnetic fields and fast-moving particles in the space between these giant galactic assemblages.
Tinker Tantrum at Redling Fine Art includes pencil drawings and texts, mixed media assemblages, and video performances from the 1970s to the present that showcase Garner's ingenuity as an absurdist and bricoleur, exploring a vein of popular science mined by R. Crumb and Al Jaffee to lampoon American consumerism and culture.
In the inaugural solo show of Hamtramck's new KO Gallery — headquarters for the Heavenly Dogs art collective, of which Kasztelan is a member — this young artist presents her apocalyptic assemblages of female youth culture in a show with an appropriately mashed-up title, Wet Hot American Queen of the Damned.
In this sprawling, chromatically saturated landscape of sculptures and assemblages, early-American furniture and cheap and cheerful finds from the corner store present competing definitions of "Americana," and fall somewhere on a continuum between the relentlessly upbeat materialism of Jeff Koons and the moodier, mass-cultural immersion of Mike Kelley.
He had but one art exhibition — in 1957 at the famous Ferus Gallery — but with the financial support of Shirley he led an anti-establishment creative life, making assemblages and collages from everyday images and objects — and, little by little, putting together his most excellent underground film Aleph (1956–66).
I'll also be setting aside some time to visit 27 Greenpoint Avenue, which is home to the playful, almost-figurative paintings and sculptures of Emily Noelle Lambert, the colorfully geometric compositions of Kristen Schiele,  the enigmatic and autobiographic sculptural assemblages of Stephen Eakin, and the beguiling, alchemical sculptures of Mariana Garibay Raeke.
Whereas the simple, uncluttered, found-object assemblages of the blind Hawkins Bolden can feel eloquent and soulful, and those of Lonnie Holley often recall African-American yard art's talismanic character, Kornegay's works tend to address their subjects, both biblical and other themes, more literally, as well as with more quirky, formal-interpretive twists.
Composed of footage shot in the 19673s and '70s, it shows the shirtless Mr. di Suvero working heroically on one or another of his monumental assemblages and ends with shots of medieval armor displays at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accompanied to comical effect by the soundtrack of an old Gene Autry movie.
Given the ever-morphing dimensions of contemporary photography — ranging from constructed narrative scenes made in the studio to ideologically-based assemblages of found Internet imagery — much of the work being shown in galleries today is positioned at a century-arm's length from Evans's straightforward, black-and-white documentation of the reality-based world.
Nauman's career has done nothing less than create an entirely new language for visual art, a legacy that can be seen everywhere from the aphoristic installations of Glenn Ligon and Jenny Holzer, to the monumental assemblages of Jeff Koons and Richard Serra, to the conceptual mischief of Barbara Kruger and Louise Lawler.
Represented in depth in "Margherita Stein: Rebel With a Cause" are Michelangelo Pistoletto (he is also at the School), whose medium is mirror-finished polished steel, often with applied photo-silkscreens; Alighiero Boetti (embroidered textiles); Luciano Fabro (mainly stone, sometimes balanced in unexpected ways); and Jannis Kounellis (assemblages of hardware and miscellany).
Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads It's the relation of the part to the whole that is the crucial element of Elias Sime's assemblages — and what makes his work consistently enticing is that he allows the viewer to engineer what that relation reveals, just by moving closer or farther away from the work.
Active from 1922–1932, the surrealist movement in Yugoslavia yielded a generation of poets and numerous individual and collective makers of cadaver exquis (exquisite corpses), automatic texts, collages, decalcomanias, assemblages, photographs, and bizarre theoretical propositions published in the almanac Nemoguće-L'impossible (The Impossible) and the magazine Nadrealizam danas i ovde (Surrealism Here & Now).
Inside, there are found assemblages, some from her family farm in Tennessee, like a dried ham hanging from the ceiling, a bundle of suspended metal rods, and the trunk of a pine tree quartered and sanded smooth — though you can look between the pieces and see the interior-facing sides, still rough with natural bark.
So I visited Thierry Goldberg Gallery for Shrobe's exhibition Homegrown and came to understand that his assemblages are really his own — not anyone else's, though there are visual, material, and strategic elements in his work that are evocative of other artists, like flavor notes I recognize for having tasted them before in other wines.
Among the extraordinary assemblages here, fashioned with wooden frames and brown bags from Whole Foods, and festooned with belts and bits of fake fur and leather, are paintings dedicated to the one-time Playboy playmate Dorothy Stratton, the chef and television personality Anthony Bourdain, the Japanese TV idol Miyu Uehara and a Chilean murder victim, María José Reyes.
But most of these works are, in some sense, protest assemblages, most explicitly the macabre "Child" (1959-60), a tortured human figure tied to a child's highchair and inspired by Conner's opposition to the impending execution of the convicted sex criminal Caryl Chessman; it earned him national notoriety when it was shown in 1960 in San Francisco.
Somebody dropped a dime, and believe it or not, Berman's show was raided by the LAPD vice squad because of the small reproduction of a weird flagrante delicto drawn by Marjorie Cameron (who used the mononym Cameron) that was a small part of Berman's assemblage, "Temple" (1952–57), one of the principle assemblages in the exhibition.
In these enigmatic assemblages, Williams packed into the tar's once-malleable, all-devouring goo (neatly contained within old castoff frames) a trove of trash-turned-treasure — circuit boards, a spray-painted pinwheel, plastic bottle caps, transparent tubes filled with oil, a cork coaster, a pocket calculator, a bicycle reflector, and empty bottles of cheap, American-made Tvarscki vodka.
Big studios are less and less likely to take a chance on a simple, goofy story of two people falling in love, instead retreating to the relative safety of remakes (22006's Overboard, which made $22006 million worldwide), sequels (2016's Bridget Jones's Baby, which made nearly $212 million worldwide), or blatant movie-star assemblages (like 2018's $68-million-grossing Book Club).
A side-by-side comparison of my work to the works of Joseph Cornell and Henry Darger showed certain similar technical flourishes and extensions, and although it was easy to see an unabashed and perhaps uncritical admiration, my found texts and assemblages were not exact copies, my intention had been to participate in the conversation, not to reproduce what had already been produced.
"Conclusive correlations between the Middle Palaeolithic assemblages at [Attirampakkam] and a specific hominin species—whether modern humans or archaic hominins—cannot be established because India currently lacks fossil or genetic evidence for this time period..." The earliest human-like fossil dating back to this period is the Narmada fossil, which was discovered in the central Narmada valley in Madhya Pradesh, India.
That exhibition, Radio Waves: New York "Nouveau Réalisme" and Rauschenberg celebrated a loose federation of postwar artists exploring the possibilities of found objects and kinetic assemblages; in addition to works by Tinguely and Rauschenberg, the show included contributions from Niki de Saint Phalle, Per Olof Ultvedt, Martial Raysse, and Arman, which were all gifts to Rauschenberg or exchanges with him.
Still, watching the players from Ninja Five (Japan); Call Me Daddy and Raclette Party (France); Treee (Italy); the Gnarcats (the United States); the Mohawks (Germany); and Sky High (England) go screaming through the Renaissance plaza on two wheels to play a sport popularized by ragtag assemblages of couriers in asphalt lots in Seattle underscored the universality Mr. Louboutin said drew him to it.
The native New Yorker has been represented by Matthew Marks Gallery since 1993, and their career is marked by sexually charged sculptures featuring stuffed animals; life-size edible gingerbread house assemblages; and visceral, durational performances that draw upon the visual language of kink, which Blake uses as a tool to meditate on the complex nature of queer and racial identities.
One of the many standout works is Norberto Roland's "Incantations in the land of virgins monsters, sorcerers, and angry gods" (1999–2019), composed of assemblages of textiles incorporating patadyongs,­ a traditional woven textile, often muted in color, and worn by the women in the Visayas region of the Philippines ­against a backdrop of brightly colored floral mass-produced fabrics from China.
There is also ample evidence of Noland's strategy of using found materials to create assemblages that are both familiar and disturbing: American flags, walkers, handcuffs, Budweiser beer cans, metal chains, and assorted car parts all make repeat appearances — whether spread out across the floor, draped over freestanding structures made from scaffolding poles, suspended from walls, or piled together in metal baskets.
They included David Butler (19413-21941), who fashioned animals, angels and people from cut and painted tin and other found items; the religious painter Sister Gertrude Morgan (21941-21942); Steve Ashby (1904-1980), who made raw figurative assemblages out of scavenged materials; and Elijah Pierce (1892-1984), whose carved and painted wood reliefs depict biblical scenes and national figures like the Rev.
Certain preoccupations recur across the year, most notably different treatments of the female form: the furious, needle-toothed harpy in The Woman with a Dagger, Picasso's reimagining of David's The Death of Marat; serene classical busts with engorged, proboscis-like noses in the sculptures produced at his studio at Boisgeloup; disembodied assemblages of abstract volumes, floating in space; languorous, reclining odalisques, lost in sleep or contemplation.
In what the museum is describing as the largest gift of art in its history, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo is scheduled to announce Tuesday that it has been given the entire estate of Marisol, a Venezuelan-American artist who fused Pop Art imagery and folk art in assemblages and sculptures and who captivated the New York art world in the 1960s with her mysterious Garboesque persona.
In one corner-office area, you'll find objects that justify themselves by sheer extravagance: an example of the artist Nick Cave's ornate costume-sculpture-assemblages, this one involving textiles sewn with china plates; Takuro Kuwata's five-foot-tall conical sculpture in black porcelain and covered with five-inch-thick chunks of pink glaze (think monumental craquelure), and a big colorful see-through abstraction on pigmented urethane by Alex Hubbard.
There are also two assemblages, "Dimanche des Rameaux" ("Palm Sunday") and "Palmöl" ("Palm Oil," both 2016), incorporating ghost-white palm fronds alluding to the Passion of Christ — the central Christian narrative of the destruction of the body and the release of the divine — and two that seem surprisingly topical, except that they were done last year, "Niederschlag" ("Fallout") and "Emanation," both of which feature an ominous cloud of molten lead.
Still, those three are exhibiting some stellar natives: David Castillo will feature the winningly playful assemblages of Pepe Mar; Central Fine is showing paintings by Tomm El-Saieh, whose hypnotic brushwork fuses Haitian folkloric traditions with classic Abstract Expressionism; while Fredric Snitzer's booth is devoted to paintings by Hernan Bas, whose beguiling, homoerotically charged portraits of dandies and waifs remain some of the strongest work to emerge from Miami over the past two decades.
Highlights include a table full of small, visitor-made clay sculptures that shares the world-in-microcosm quality of Fischli and Weiss' 1981/2006 sculpture series, Suddenly This Overview; a wall displaying the infectiously upbeat paintings of the 100-year-old amateur Dutch painter, Lou van der Biezen; a towering collaborative sculpture by Bade and Martha made from the hulls of two abandoned skiffs; and an in-progress series of still life assemblages by Martha.
Each of these assemblages consists of hundreds of items and shares a very similar profile to the Green Collection artifacts: almost certainly looted from a warzone in recent decades (that is, after the advent of national laws and international treaties meant to crack down on this type of activity); smuggled out of their country of origin; acquired by dealers in foreign countries and sold by them at great profit to collectors and institutions in America, Europe, or Israel.
It's strange to me that so many of us look back on the halcyon days of the M25 raves, those notoriously vast assemblages of people crowded together in beetroot fields all raving under one roof, with the kind of rose-tinted nostalgia usually saved for royal weddings or world wars, but find the idea of thousands of revellers stood shirtless on the edges of Ushuaia about as appealing as sharing a bowl of jellied eels with Len Goodman.
