Using catalogues, magazines, books, and postcards referencing art, textiles, furniture, interior and industrial design, Jan Blythe’s mixed-media collages fracture and re-combine found images into formal exercises far removed from their original source imagery. This solo exhibition is an extension of Blythe’s broader art practice, which allows materials to combine and transform in her hands as she manipulates them to unexpected ends.
This exhibition will "employ" the standard business card as a jumping-off point for an exuberant skewering and subversion of corporate language and structure.

Abstract Small is organized by Museum of Pocket Art Exhibitions Director Mario Trejo and showcases some of Trejo’s favorite contemporary painters. The first MoPA show to focus specifically on painting, Abstract Small will utilize the unique parameters of the Museum to explore the intimate processes of the painter, showing works that more than hold up to their large-scale counterparts.
