The University Art Museum will open its doors Friday for a new exhibit: "American Collage -- Telephones." The display is a montage of film clips organized to represent a telephone conversation, according to a University press release.
Coinciding with the film compilation, an art exhibition entitled simply "American Collage" will display artwork from the University's permanent collection as well as items on loan.
The works trace the history of collage in the United States over several decades.
The two exhibits are a result of a partnership between the University's American Studies program and the Washington, D.C., Phillips Collection, the first modern art museum in the country. Some items in the art museum exhibit are on loan from Phillips.
Two University professors involved in the exhibit, Art Prof. Matthew Affron and English Prof. Stephen Cushman, have created a seminar on collage for their fourth-year art and American studies students.
The film exhibit ends Feb. 29 and the art display will remain through August.
