San Jose Museum of Art will present an exhibition of works from permanent collection. The exhibition will be on view through Sunday, July 5, 2009.
For the past 100 years, artists have increasingly focused on the process of making art. They have explored unconventional materials and invented new art-making techniques.
This exhibition challenges visitors to pay close attention how artists have manipulated everything from generic ballpoint pens to unusual found objects like snake bones. Some artists embrace multiple techniques, merging photography with painting, or sculpture with video to yield hybrid multifaceted artworks.
Others craft densely layered drawings or highly symbolic assemblages. Overall, this selection of works invites the viewer to experience the imaginative artistic transformation of materials through diverse creative acts.
