Call for Entry: Recontextualizing the Found Object

Most artists are by nature frugal individuals. More often than not we accumulate stockpiles of materials or seek out objects by visiting garage sales, scrap yards, junk stores etc. We all utilize these materials in vastly different ways. I am looking for your interpretation of found object or found material. Works ranging from high manipulation of salvaged materials to “Traditional” Found Object Assemblage and Collage are welcome.

Warning – Too much information in this next post…
We’ve been a bit distracted around these parts lately with ceramics of another kind. The little one is extending his education on all things clay to include the use of a toilet, so there you go, that’s where my mind has been the last few days. I figured rather than fight it, it was as good an opportunity as any to show some related work of Robert Arneson.
Sure it’s an old piece, and i’m sure many of you are very familiar with his work. For those of us, well some of us, growing up on the prairies of Central Canada work by Arneson becomes a part of our ceramic history. The influence of Arneson, David Gilhooly, and other artists of the Ceramic Funk Movement was strongly felt particularly in Saskatchewan where I live and grew up. It impacted not only a similarly aged generation of Canadian artists, but I believe aspects of their approach to clay, humor, satire; and arts and culture references still exists in a younger generation of artists here as well.
