"The Bricoleurs" Exhibition
BRIC
This event has ended.
BRIC Arts | Media | Bklyn presents The Bricoleurs, an exhibition at BRIC Rotunda Gallery featuring a range of Brooklyn artists who embrace the practice of bricolage and construct visual works from discrepant elements, creating new forms and imagery. Curated by Christian Fuller and Risa Shoup.
All artists in the show were selected from BRIC’s Contemporary Artists Registry, the oldest registry of visual artists in Brooklyn with more than 16,000 digital submissions from 800 artists. Founded in 1983, the Registry is open to artists living or working in Brooklyn; visit registry.bricartsmedia.org to view a range of artists’ work.
Bricolage is a term used in several disciplines to refer to the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of sometimes seemingly disparate things; a person who engages in bricolage is called a bricoleur. The range of work in this show includes: video, painting, collage, assemblage, sculpture and digital printing.
According to the curators: “We have chosen artists for the exhibition who pull together styles and materials that might otherwise appear disparate and unattractive save for the artist’s ability to combine them into one cogent, integral whole… With The Bricoleurs, we turn our analytical gaze more to the practice of creating bricolage less than the product, the bricolage itself.”
