The Bristol Art Museum today announced the opening of a new, national juried exhibit comprised of artwork from across the country, Putting the Pieces Back Together, on view starting Saturday, February 12 to Friday, April 1 with an artist reception on Thursday, March 10 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The exhibit features a collection of collages and constructions that express the idea of putting life back together in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
University of Rhode Island Professor of Art Bob Dilworth served as juror for the exhibit that received more than 430 entries for consideration. The exhibit can be viewed Thursday through Sunday until Friday, April 1 from 1 to 4 p.m.
“With interest from artists across the country, this national exhibit of collage and construction invited artists to express themselves about the impact of the pandemic,” said the Museum’s Exhibition Curator, Mary Dondero. “Artists were invited to cut, rip, layer, and paste, re-contextualize, digitally stitch, create and build art from fragments that suggest new narratives, explore human relationships that reveal coded memories, dreams, or desires. The result is a collection of unique pieces that document the pandemic from several perspectives representative of many geographic locations throughout the country.”
