Description
The chart is an interactive lineage map. Assemblage sits at the center, on a timeline that runs from older movements at the top to newer ones at the bottom. The movements that influenced it appear above it, any parallel movements it developed alongside sit on its own row, and the movements it later influenced appear below. Every line is a real, cited connection between two movements: a solid line is an influence historians broadly agree on, and a dashed line is an indirect, parallel, or contested link.
For Assemblage (1950s – Present), it traces two movements that shaped it, all well-established links: Dada and Surrealism; it runs alongside two parallel movements, all well-established links: Neo-Dada and Pop art; it fans out to two movements it went on to influence, all well-established links: Funk art and Rasquache.
Assemblage is an artistic form or medium usually created on a defined substrate that consists of three-dimensional elements projecting out of or from the substrate. It is similar to collage, a two-dimensional medium. It is part of the visual arts and it typically uses found objects, but is not limited to these materials. The term also may be applied to free-standing works that have been assembled. Read more ↗
