Ripography: Works with Paper by Rex Weil
Free
On view Friday, March 23rd - Sunday, April 29th

"Perhaps better known for bricolage sculpture and constructed paintings, Rex Weil has always worked with paper as support and medium. Ripography is Weil's name for the process of making new images by ripping up existing ones. His sources are the gratuitous reminders of the pleasures of success that drift daily through the mail slot: luxury store catalogs, realtors' brochures, home renovation magazines and the like.... While the exhibition includes traditional collage on paper, other works push formal boundaries by eliminating the traditional rectangle in favor of irregular ovals, by attaching shreds of paper directly to the wall, and by adding commonplace craft techniques into the mix."
