Many of Alex Urso’s dioramas aim to showcase “anachronistic” interaction between himself and artists from the past. By rearranging traditional forms and figures – using techniques of collage and assemblage – he brings fragments of past artworks into the present and interacts with them. With each of these elements (artists or fragments of works), Urso uses humor, aiming to create a dialogue that calls for a discussion of the authenticity of art history as it has been passed down, namely as a sequence of events seemingly worthy of note.
