Winiarski on What’s New in Assemblage

“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,[1]” 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.
