Defining : Assemblage

How do we define ‘Assemblage’ ?

Copyright - The Librarian - George Herms

“A way of making art in which various things which are traditionally non-art materials are brought together in a variety of ways, but they have at their core , a GLUE“ -

Helen Molesworth - Former Chief Curator @ MOCA

“MAKING ART OUT OF EVERYTHING“ -

“Sometimes objects don’t want to be next to each other and they are rejected , so I am mostly LISTENING to the objects telling me what to do “- George Herms- Artist

“I have always considered myself a hunter or gatherer, hunting for things … and gathering things. In a way I am like a ‘recycler’.. I recycle their [the materials] STORY into my story“ -

Betye Saar - Artist
