"Constructivism"

The new exhibition at the Coterie is a contemporary combination of 2 and 3 dimensional wall and installation art bringing various movements together within the space of a single gallery.

Each part is a micro ism of the whole introducing the contemporary metropolitan art scene to the area.

Thought provoking and questioning, the wall art, sculptures and mobiles are left untitled leaving the interpretation to the viewer. 

Constructivists proposed to replace art's traditional concern with composition with a focus on construction. Objects were to be created not in order to express beauty, or the artist's outlook, or to represent the world, but to carry out a fundamental analysis of the materials and forms of art, one which might lead to the design of functional objects. For many Constructivists, this entailed an ethic of "truth to materials," the belief that materials should be employed only in accordance with their capacities, and in such a way that demonstrated the uses to which they could be put.
