Inhaltsangabe

Did you know that you can transform a cheese grater, a few bits of old cutlery and a handful of nuts and bolts into a household robot brimming with character in no time?
Presented like a recipe book, this unique guide will inspire you to make your own bots from random flea market finds and some unwanted junk through 23 quirky "robot recipes".
Each of the 23 robots is shown through the transformation of a group of “found objects” into a finished sculpture with accompanying instructions on inspiration, assemblage methods and bonding techniques. The projects are disassembled to their very core to reveal not just the easily identifiable elements used in their creation, such as a tennis racket, thermos, or bicycle frame, but also every screw, bolt, thread, rope or wire used to assemble them. This original collection will inspire you to scout around your homes for spare everyday objects and turn them into characterful assemblage art sculptures.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Assemblage Art features approximately 25 contemporary assemblage art projects by international artists through playful "before and after" shots, as well as an additional gallery of inspiring assembled pieces. The projects are disassembled to their very core to reveal not just the easily identifiable elements used in their creation such as a tennis racket, thermos or bicycle frame but also every screw, bolt, thread, rope or wire used to assemble them. As an art form assemblage art traces its origins back to Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Marcel Duchamp who famously attached a bicycle wheel to a stool and called it a "readymade".
