antiquity and assemblage
Explorations of commonalities between assemblage and Archaic oral-formulaic poetry by a sculptor and lapsed academic
- In assemblage an artist's style is reflected in their choice of object types, whether and how they manipulate those objects, their compositional strategies, and the inclusion of elements such as paint, 'borrowed forms', light, installation, etc. Beka Brayer uses antiques as her signature object type
- The unexpected artistry, art historical references, and narrative role of Maurice Noble's background art in Loony tunes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a50t...
- On this #caturday we have the rare privilege of witnessing the solemn cleansing ritual for Apollo, as performed on behalf of the entire assembly by high priestess Sophia, at the feet of a sacred image of the god.
- Brancusi’s appropriation of forms and elements – as opposed to actual objects constitutes a 'simulated' assemblage which is 'poetic' rather than 'real' in which "self-reflexiveness and inner play emerged as consciously planned technique which shaped the work of art." Edith Balas 1978, 45
