(RE)COMPOSE presented works of art which combined familiar objects with raw, organic materials; creating pieces with potential for growth, decay, and preservation. Each artist explored the transformative nature of their mediums to emphasize a relationship between perception and time. Whether distancing us from pain, skewing our memories, or predicting the future through the patterns it leaves behind, the sense of time each artist evoked offered alternate perceptions of material attachments, highly personal memories, and shared intimacy.

(RE)COMPOSE was selected by juror Steve Dietz of Northern Lights.mn as one of the five nominees for the Outstanding Venue juried award.

Artist top to bottom: Danielle Wyckoff, Amber Bledsoe, Elizabeth Hubler-Torrey, Rocío Azarloza, Mandy Cano Villalobos, and Madison Nicole May. Artist interviews->

(RE)COMPOSE was organized through the ArtPrize Eight Fellowship for Emerging Curators program. Curator, Brianna Lynn Hernández Baurichter, was partnered with the Grand Rapids Art Museum and their Chief Curator, Ron Platt for this fellowship.
