Interventionist Collage:
From Dada
to the present

February 12 - April 3, 2005
Hoover-Paul Works on Paper Gallery, The University of Iowa Museum of Art

Focusing on the connection between today's collage artists who creatively and critically respond to the flood of mass media images, messages, and sounds, and 20th century avant-garde movements, this exhibition will include pieces by Max Ernst, John Heartfield, Hannah Hoech, Robert Rauschenberg , and Kurt Schwitters, primarily from University of Iowa collections.

The exhibition is presented as part of the 2004-2005 Obermann Humanties Symposium, "Collage as Cultural Practice" and is curated by Dr. Rudolf Kuenzli, UI Professor, of English and Cinema and Comparative Literature.
