'Redux' GoCM Exhibition Catalogue

Own the catalogue from the ‘Gallery of Contemporary Mosaics’ 2023 exhibit, ‘Redux’.

When life experience and art practice merge, artworks show refinement, growth, and clarity of voice. Art can record memory, meaning, and emotions specific to different times in life. Artists that are committed to engaging in creative expression tend to play and experiment with their work within a timeline of knowledge, transformation and understanding. In “Redux”, eleven artists re-examine original works constructed in the beginning of their dedication to an art praxis.

Being able to reexamine an older idea acknowledges changes within ourselves and in the world around us. This exhibition also shows how The Chicago Mosaic School has transformed and expanded these creative voices. “Redux” presents both works, side by side- a before and after, showing how art can reflect transformation and record experience through the lens of time.
