First, a group of three artists, working in vastly different media and each speaking in visual languages unique to themselves, have been assembled to present their works together in our gallery.Q. The current exhibition, the first conceived and curated by our gallery colleague Nicole Trimble, demonstrates the concept of juxtaposition on two levels. We also can’t forget that the basic theory of motion picture editing rests firmly upon the notion of juxtaposition in that a montage of discrete clips is formed into a seamless new fabric of imagistic storytelling. Musical medleys, sound collages, and mash-ups share this pedigree of origin in the world of audio. Artforms that result from such techniques are often called collages, photomontages, assemblages, and constructions. These works speak to us from a place that is beyond words and symbols, This is due to the fact that they are visually “swallowed whole” to create an immediate and visceral impression, or gestalt, derived from the combination. In the world of art, we see juxtaposition used to refer to works composed various unrelated elements or fragments placed side-by-side, or atop one another to create an interesting effect of comparison or contrast. In this self-evident example, we can observe the basic notion to which the word refers disparate and discrete elements being joined together, at times in jarring and unexpected ways, to create surprising new amalgamations that assume meaningful lives of their own. In this case, the Latin juxta (meaning near) is connected to the English word position (which is also from Latin, meaning place or location). Such words, of course, are fragments of words from Latin or some other language, combined to form a new descriptor or inferred idea. Juxtaposition is a clear case of a word literally acting out its meaning, as many longer words are prone do.
