Welcome to Season Two of The Bricoleurs Notebook
S2E1: Junkosphere: Part One
We begin our second season with a two part episode on the “Junkosphere” which explores bricolage as practiced by Nicola Hawkins and her “all purpose collaborator Andy Perlis”. The Junkosphere refers to a planet Nicola imagined, created and displayed with other mixed media works at the art gallery in The Rooms in St. John’s. These two bricoleurs combined their skills to create a topical, politicly astute and visually stunning exhibition about the state of our planet.
