The Trans-topical Everything
Open from Friday, March 7th, 19.00h, Galeria Wejście, Until 4.04.08
Did we witness EVERYTHING in art? Is EVERYTHING possible for modern artists? "The Trans-topical Everything" exhibition links different styles and elements from various fields creating strange new objects of art that can't be even described as 'collage' but 'bricolage', which in French means making machines with no respect for rules of engineering. Interested? For more info about this exhibition go to CSW website.

Your interpretation of Bricolage is inacurate. Here is some info for you.
Kind Regards from Stephen Baxter in Australia.
A formal description of Bricolage is apparent in this quote by Hawks, T. Structuralism & Semiotics, London, 1977.
‘Bricolage (1962) Stylistic term coined by French Structural Anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss, born in 1908.
For processes of myth-formation in pre-literate, prescientific cultures. The construction of something else out of materials to hand, (patchwork). Myths are models of social life, which make analogical use of natural materials and processes. Bricolage is basically a metaphor making process and has been extended to language as such; also applied to modernist texts which are ‘patch works’ of other writings and styles, the juxtapositions between ad hoc materials producing new significances (eg; T S Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’).
Bothamley; Jennifer (1993) Dictionary of theories, Gale Research International LTD.
The Bricoleur draws from something that already exists.
The scientist seeks to discover something new.
The scientist sets out to change the world by means of structures and the ‘bricoleur’ creates structures by means of events.
The bricoleur deals in signs, the scientist deals in concepts. Concepts open possibilities while signs recycle previously available meanings.
“(Claude Levi-Strauss) identified three modes of art, each of which emphasizes a different mode of communication: Western art stresses the model, “primitive” art stresses the materials, and applied art stresses the user…Art hovers between mythical and scientific thought, and between the practical and the theoretical.”
Janine Mileaf on Levi-Strauss, “Science of the Concrete”
