Creighton Michael, Nestor Otero, Carol Rosen and Hills Snyder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFRANK’s essay traces construction as an artistic method from Cubism, Futurism, Russian Constructivism and the Bauhaus into contemporary practices built through repetition, modularity and industrial materials. The exhibition does not present a single stylistic group; instead, it gathers artists working where image, surface and physical object begin to overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded by Geno Rodriguez and Jan Rooney in 1975 in response to a segregated art world, The Alternative Museum brought white and minority artists together within an explicitly pluralist programme. Its catalogues now form an important printed record of artists and exhibitions that frequently remained outside dominant museum histories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis copy returns the catalogue to one of its contributors.
