Lost & Found 'the Art of Assemblage' With Guest Host: Annemarie Rawlinson

Show topics: How to artists choose the objects for their assemblage work? Do you specifically create work based on your collection? Or, do you work from an idea and then illustrate your idea with images and objects. Does your work need words to help tell the story? What is your best junking story?

Participating artists: Annemarie Rawlinson, la-assemblagegroup.org, anart.net, Claudia Roulier, claudiaroulier.com, Lesliee Caldera, la-assemblagegroup.org, Jim Caldwell, artworknetwork.com, Michael Demeng, michaeldemeng.blogspot.com, Karen Mandery, karenmandery.com

Mosaics the beautiful fragments. Mosaic as a fine art. Shattering any preconceived ideas about today's mosaics. Discussing techniques, andamenti (Andamento is the visual flow and direction within a mosaic produced by the placement of rows of tesserae. For different styles, see opus)and incorporating found objects – stylistic ways of arranging the pieces – they make statements that engage the mind, delight the eye and invite contemplation.

The public is invited to meet members of Colorado Mosaic Artists and other exhibiting artists during the Artists Reception at Denver's Niza Knoll Gallery on Saturday afternoon, November 20 from 2:00-4:00pm. coloradomosaics.org

When it comes to strong emotion what art comes to mind? Such as work that denotes: Love & romance, death & birth, war & peace, religion & politics. Picasso's Guernica, Fredia Kahlo's, The Broken Column, Louise Bourgeois, Maman (spider), Marc Chagal, the Birthday. Compare and contrasts of representational and non-reprensentational works and how this has changed over time.

Artists weigh in on how the web has helped or hurt their art market. Do you sell your work on the internet? What is the price point that works for you? Does Internet traffic equate to sales? Do you have a shopping cart on your site? Or how does it work for you? Has the glut of art to view and buy become too competitive? Or weeded out the mediocre.

What makes photography art and is every shot art? Where and when does the digital world converge with photography to make it art. Does modern art photography need to be a reaction to the times?

Where does the photo manipulation come into play. Darkroom vs: digital where do you stand. Or does it matter if image is great?

Many artists weigh in on this thought provoking topic. Is it all part of being another segment of the consumer driven world or does it hearken back to a shamanistic mystical connection with humanity.

Please call in live and weigh in.

The Intersection between Science & Art

What first inspired you to combine art & science? Did you come to art through science or was it the other way around?

How are the sciences applied in your work?

Were there particular scientists or artists that drew you in this direction?

How has the public responded to your work? Is the public well enough informed to be able to understand what you are doing, or does that not matter?

Sometimes work in this genre does a balancing act between the intellectual and the aesthetic. Do you have concerns in this matter?

Utilizing science implies an acquired understanding. Do you see yourself as student or teacher?
