WASHINGTON, DC.- Over, Under, Next: Experiments in Mixed Media, 1913Present, an exhibition of approximately 100 works drawn largely from the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Gardens collection, runs April 18 through Sept. 8. The first in a series of permanent collection-related exhibitions leading up to the museums 40th anniversary in 2014, Over, Under, Next surveys an era in which the definition and scope of art were continually expanded through the avant-gardes embrace of non-art materials. Artists from virtually every major movement of the past centuryfrom Cubism, Dada and Surrealism through Abstract Expressionism, Pop and Post-Modernism participated in the revolution. The exhibition tracks the development of the elements of mixed media, from the wood grain-printed paper of Georges Braque to the beaded Easter baskets
