Collected is an exhibition and series of events at OPENSOURCE Art that examines the practice and motivations of collecting.
Collections are highly revealing of individuals, cultural constructions of value and institutional biases. Collections carry histories with them, not only the history of their own making and being, but the history of all objects, of culture, and of display.

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS
Jeremy Beaudry, Peter Bushell, Anna Callahan, Brian Collier, Alex Demaris, Stephanie Diamond, Amber Ginsburg, Bridget Griffin, Cynthia Greig, Peter HappelChristian, Jesse Houlding, Lisa Jevbratt, Tim Van Laar, Caleb Larsen, John Maters, Daryl McCurdy, Jeff Murphy and Malena Bergmann, Susan Nevelow Mart, Rit Premnath and the Trustees of the Museum of Contextual Amputations, Gina Rymarcsuk, Molly Scott, Randall Szott, and Jeff Thompson.
