“Assemblage, in art, is work that incorporates found objects, fragments, and everyday materials – elements not originally intended as art materials – into a composition,” writes Deborah Winiarski in her latest post,  “Poetics of the Found,” for the online publication ProWax Journal. She has selected new works by ten artists who are transforming the tradition of assemblage for the twenty-first century.
