This learning resource was inspired by a number of ‘assemblage’ works on show at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2026; artworks produced by putting two unconnected objects together, to create something entirely new.
Two supposedly unrelated things, placed together, can create a meaning that neither one had when on it’s own. It could be a physical joining of objects or materials, or two images spliced into one. Sometimes the two parts might be connected in everyday reality, but sometimes it might be an unexpected bringing together.
