Place and process are our concerns in this workshop, open to students of any experience level. Like realism or even impressionism, assemblage draws from the environment. And in the tradition of the mooncussers, we will scavenge and beachcomb the Provincetown shore for all sorts of unorthodox materials. Students will work with these pieces of Provincetown and assemble them into ironic, amusing and startling objects. The history of the art of assemblage—including Kurt Schwitter’s architectural “merz” constructions, Robert Rauschenberg's Combines and Karel Appel’s fantastic agglomerations—will be discussed. Please bring a glue-gun, nails, screws, hammer, protective eye-wear, and a drill, if you have one.
