Assemblage: A Mixed Media Workshop with Mike Wright

Here's your chance to loosen up, subscribe to the recycling aesthetic, and take pleasure in the visceral quality of non-traditional, found materials. We will scavenge Provincetown's recycling center, and assemble the remains of objects into witty, ironic and surprising objets d'art. We will also consider the history of assemblage from the Dadaists to Rauschenberg.

Sculptor Mike Wright uses found, painted wood and scavenged materials in her assemblages. She was the Cape Cod Community College's "Artist in Residence" in 2009; was awarded a full fellowship to the Vermont Studio Center; won the Michael E. Deluty Outstanding Sculpture Prize at the 2007 CAA National Competition; as well as the 1999 National Competition at PAAM, which resulted in a solo exhibition. Her work has been in numerous solo and juried exhibitions in Japan; New York City; East Hampton, NY; Boston, MA; Maryland; Montana; and Provincetown. Her work is in the collection of PAAM and many private collections. She is represented by Kobalt Gallery in Provincetown and Williams McCall Gallery in Miami.

One past student wrote, the class had a very relaxed atmosphere but also very professional. Environment was collaborative yet we worked independently. Mike was approachable and very helpful to all. Excellent instructor."
