An exhibition of Art Made from Found Objects
June 16, 2002 through May 11, 2003
Opening reception June 16, 1-3 p.m.
Finders, Keepers: A Children's Exhibition of Art Made from Found Objects is a look at the work of artists who have taken the ordinary and transformed it into art. These are the artists who save items that the rest of us throw away. In their hands, junk becomes art.
This fascinating exhibition includes the work of more than 50 Alaska artists. These artists have made art from such disparate materials as keys, caribou antlers, doorknobs, automotive parts, bee hives, and fishing tackle-all combined with wood, metal, leather, lead, plastic and paint.
An illustrated catalog and resources for teachers accompanies the exhibition. Finders Keepers is adapted from Found and Assembled in Alaska, an exhibition organized by the Alaska State Museum. |
