Silence

January 15 through March 2015
Palo Alto Art CenterSilence

Photographs and found objects, scraps of old newspaper and magazine clippings: All these and more serve as materials for collage and assemblage artists.  Palo Alto’s loose collective of more than 60 artists known as the “drop-in collage group” went to great lengths to explore the theme, from experimenting with meditation to studying deafness and sign language. The resulting works express their discoveries in a wide variety of media and forms. Among the works on display will be Dianne Kochenburg’s collage, “Silenced,” in which the body of a bird is splayed across a page announcing obituaries, as well as Marilyn Proffitt’s “Silent Spring,” a three-dimensional work in which bare white branches sprout from the pages of a book.
