Jim Ulrich to talk about mixed-media assemblages and sculptures
Jim Ulrich, mixed-media artist and member of the Dumpster Divers of Philadelphia, will show examples of his mixedmedia assemblages and sculptures. These works incorporate both found materials and handfabricated components. His work varies from representational to purely abstract and some of it is functional. Jim will explain how the found objects catalyze an idea, and describe the varied processes and materials employed to refine those ideas into a final piece.
Pottstown Area Artists Guild is sponsoring this talk. It will be held on Tuesday, March 20, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Boyer Gallery at the Hill School Center for the Arts, 760 Beech St., near the intersection of Beech and Sheridan streets in Pottstown. This event is free and open to the public.
A Pittsburgh transplant, Jim’s work has been exhibited at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum, Andy Warhol Museum and Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Reading’s Goggleworks, the National Watch and Clock Museum, the Phillips Museum of Art and the Berman Museum, just to name a few. He received an associate of science degree in fine arts from Allegheny County Community College, Pittsburgh, and a bachelor of arts degree in studio arts from University of Pittsburgh. In addition to his sculptures, Jim has done cover, inside editorial and spot art for a number of magazines and booklets.
