"Manufactured Unreality" Exhibition
Francis M. Naumann Fine Art
This event has ended.
Organized by artist Don Joint, this exhibition brings together a diverse range of works in a variety of materials—all made under the general rubric of collage. A number of artists from the past—Enrico Baj (1924-2003), Joseph Cornell (1903-1972), Raymond Hains (1926-2005), Jiří Kolář (1914-2002) and May Wilson (1905-1986)—have used the medium as a primary means of expression throughout their respective careers, which is the case for several contemporary artists included in the exhibition as well: David Beideman, John Evans, Mario Naves and Fran Schanz. Nearly all of the other artists in the show use collage as an extension of work in other media (as painters, sculptors, photographers, or graphic designers.)
As the title of this exhibition indicates, many of the artists included in the show extrapolate fragments of reality—objects or reproductions of objects from the real world—to create visions that exist only in the mind, thereby, one could say, “Manufacturing Unreality.”
