Links There are many more links than I will place here, despite that many of the left out ones are great. But this site, alas or hooray, is not a blog, so... The emphasis here is on assemblage oriented links, as well as a "Lateral Links" category, as noted in the headers below.
Assemblage Joseph Cornell Web Museum, Paris This is a
terrific little page that has about 2 dozen of Joseph Cornell's boxes.
This page is part of the Web Museum created by Nicolas Pioch in 1996. "Arthur Burke who makes his home in rural Connecticutt, trained as a designer at Pratt Institute and pursued a long and successful career as an industrial and interior designer. Intrigued by the work of artist Joseph Cornell, Burke, following his retirement from active design work, turned to the creation of boxed assemblages. An inveterate collector since early childhood, the artist began to collect seriously with an eye to turning his findings into art. The result is that Burke has become a "boxiest" par excellence, creating both static and kinetic assemblages which allow the viewer to interact with the artwork. His workmanship and creativity are without parallel. As for philosophy, the artist states, "The box is a part of our everyday language and thinking from the moment we first open our eyes to the very instant we close them for the last time, the box - as an intriguing and exciting physical form, design or concept - is ever present." Donal Lipski: Book Works 1982-1997 Lipski is a master manipulator of the found object, salvaging and ingeniously re-working them. With boundless wit and humor he concocts absurd juxtapositions and mixed messages that capture the spirit of both surrealism and Dada. Lipski believes that art can be made with anything, and he proves it. I see where
it began. My need to salvage the relics and artifacts that have been
discarded as no longer viable. "Junk" is collected, sits around for about 20 years, and finally finds its place. From collage postcards to a large motorised Not-Very-Merry-Go-Round of gargoyles, including my mother's false teeth in a fish head, life is full of possibilities. In 1954 he made his first reliefs in wood. In 1956 he founded the NOW Gallery, and in 1957 the Ferus Gallery with Walter Hopps. In 1961 he completed his first environment Roxy's, which caused a stir at the documenta "4" exhibition in 1968. His retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1966 provoked the County Board of Supervision to attempt to close the exhibition. The theme of his environments is the vulnerability of the private life of the individual to intervention by the environment and social convention. [Note: You'll get a password dialogue box. Clicking on "cancel" moves you into the link.] The context of the assemblages is rooted in the historical preservation of childhood memories in the rural South. Many of the works also include influences from travels in Estonia, Finland and Russia. All works are constructed with found objects and seek to capture elements of family, friendship and simplicity of lifestyle that are quickly eroding from this fast paced, disposable society. My work is
anything but what I would call clean. like me, it is subject to time. I
like to look at work I've done twenty years ago and see the changes time
has brought. Time has always been a preoccupation in my art. I include
in my assemblages fossils, metals older than the solar system, strange
symbols time has lost, and things of a recent past. Lois

It contains both information unique to this site as well as links to other Internet resources. One of the top bizarre link collections. To be taken in small doses. "This
