Get It Together: Collage Assemblage & Collaboration was an event that took place in Chicago at Co-Prosperity Sphere. As an experiment in extracurricular gallery experience (say that 5 times fast), curators Chad Kouri of The Post Family and James Harry Ewert Jr. brought together local sweethearts of collage, mixed media and installation for a three dimensional freak out of color, form and material. The Participants of the show also asked the crowd to make some work of their own at a no-rules collage table in the center of the space. Everything created was then collected, documented and handed out to random people walking around the beautiful city of Chicago. Thanks to Chris Cronin for the video. Pictures below stolen from Tony Francesconi's Get it Together Album and Co-Prosperity Sphere's flickr set. More images from the day-after bbq, and the collages made at the show coming soon.
