- Artists George Herms and Betye Saar and MOCA Chief Curator Helen Molesworth discuss assemblage. Assemblage, a practice of art production that combines disparate everyday objects and materials to create new meanings and forms, rose to popularity among American artists following World War II. Artists like Herms and Saar aim to produce work that recycles, recontextualizes, and refashions relationships between objects leading to the reconsideration of art’s role in society.

Basically, what collage is to 2-D art, so assemblage is to sculpture/3-D Art.
This is great. Thank you.
I’m learning this is art so coolll
cool stuff...reminds me of art cars
I would love to use this video in my class to introduce my kids to Assemblage. Please let me know if you have a bleeped out or edited version of this. Thanks
SAME....
Me too!
Ugh! It's so good except for that ONE word!
Same!! I'm glad I watched til the end and didn't just use it.... GRR.
If you all are so hung up on a single word people use everyday multiple times around the world, then maybe you should start to consider that it's not the word that's the problem but this typical hypocritical american attitude towards it.
I don't know how old the kids are, but they surely have heard and used this word many times before. So rather to pretend that it doesn't exist maybe start incorporating it and giving it some (new) context would help the children to use or rather not use this word in a appropriate way.
It's interesting that the narrator said "it's basically cut & paste" in an almost condescending tone. I don't think she meant it that way, but assemblage art gets very little respect in the art world, in general. Maybe it's partially because there is so much really bad & cheesy assemblage work out there. I love the use of found & repurposed materials & the often very insightful way they are combined. For me it is more consistent with sculpture than collage, but it has elements of both, of course. I think all art depends primarily on the creative vision & natural instincts of the artist, no matter what the materials! I love the George Herms sighting, he's always delightful!
If not for the profanity at 3:54 I could have used this video for my elem. art classes. Is there a way to edit it out? I fear letting it slip by to students if I used start and stop with videos. Thanks

Of course there's a way to edit it out. Just follow these simple steps a literal three year old could do...
Step #1: Download the video.
Step #2: Import the video file into a video editor.
Step #3: Selectively edit out the audio you don't want the kids to hear.
Step #4: Stand in front of a mirror and ask yourself what the hell you're doing trying to be a teacher when you can't figure out something as simple as this.
@@SineEyed A "literal three year old" can NOT do that. I am old that this point and maybe I just need someone nice enough to explain the steps more specificly, rather that be rude about it.
@@SineEyed so rude.
@@SineEyed Some people. Especially older ones are just not technologically literate and probably didn't even think they could do that. Find something actually useful to be angry about.
Like random petty internet drama.
Let's face it -- some assemblage art is really well done. And some of it is just re-configured junk. It's not easy to make a blanket statement about its artistic merit.
Just like a walk in a junk yard. Not everything is worth bringing home. One junk yard in our city that sells to the public is like that: you will find a large box filled with rusty nails and screws, cracked flower pots, broken dolls, discarded refrigerators, etc.

Ah sem blage sounds so phony but the artists are great.
I hate when people pronounce words like that, "assemblage". in my opinion it does nothing but make the person saying it look uneducated. I'm sorry but that's just my opinion.
you can sell it for more when it's pronounced that way!
hoomalumalu its a crazy crazy world we live in lol but there is definitely some truth to what you said as its usually the people who pronounce things this way that are willing to drop ungodly sums of cash on a piece of art while we have people right here dying of starvation and such. Tsk tsk. That being said though, to each his own...I guess.
Leigh Carver: One person's "puhtaytoh" is another person's "puhtahtoh" -- same word, different pronunciation.
So, do you pronounce "collage" like "college?" How about "mirage"? Should we be saying "MEAR-age" in order not to sound pretentious? Fuselage to rhyme with mucilage? Just wondering.😉
The word derives from French, so of course it's gonna be pronounced in a "pretentious" way.
An important, great video but the f-bomb prevents me from sharing this with my students.
you don't have to share the whole video. Just stop playing it at around the 3:30 minute mark. The first bits gets the point across.
ffs how are you a teacher, yet not compentent enough with computers that you could edit out the audio at that part of the video? Seriously smh... it's absurdly simple..
@@SineEyed what's your thing? Are you just a rude, smug a-hole all the time? This is the second like comment on this video. Develop some social skills & get over yourself, you're no better than anyone else!
@@jeffreyolson2139 oh fuck off Jeffrey - you don't know shit about me. I'll tell you this though: I believe a decent education for our youth is necessary to sustain a well functioning society. The reason being, kids now are gonna be adults one day; they're gonna be in charge of keeping everything running. The world literally depends on their capacity to get shit done. That capacity is largely cultivated in school. But in order for that to happen, teachers need to do their job. And in order for them to do their job, they need to NOT BE DUMBASSES THEMSELVES. Pretty straightforward logic, right? Pretty easy to understand?
You wanna bitch at me some more for showing concern for the future? C'mon, let's hear it.. 😑
this is the worst video on fine arts ive ever seen
based
why did i say this
@@OUTINTHEDARKfilms Probably because you were hungry, at least that's when I say things like that!
@@SP-ki5gn thanks for that insight!
