	Found Exhibitions at The Aldrich Opening: Sunday, January 29, 2012 Shuttle: Departs NYC at 12 noon Panel: 2 to 3 pm Reception: 3 to 5 pm The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum cordially invites you to the opening of Found, a series of six exhibitions by artists working with appropriated ideas and salvaged materials. The Exhibitions: June 29, to June 10, 2012 Barrão: Mashups Whimsical and bizarre ceramic sculptures made from porcelain and clay fragments that subvert the function of the original objects and reveal unpredictable relationships. Jim Dingilian: Subtractive Images A series of new objects that the artist has modified by subtraction—the careful erasure or removal of material to produce optically realistic representations. Roy McMakin: Middle A new series of works made from his childhood furniture collection that amplify formal and nostalgic associations through dramatic physical alteration. Regina Silveira: In Absentia (Collection) A series comprised of empty pedestals that project "shadows" of well-known masterpieces to reveal hidden meanings behind the works and their interpretation. Kathryn Spence: Dirty and Clean Used objects piled, layered, and transformed to create lifelike animals and intriguing structures that Spence then brings into the clean environment of the Museum. Xu Bing: Tobacco Project An exploration of the production and culture of tobacco that ultimately alludes to fundamental issues of human culture and of tobacco as a medium of social exchange.
