About Todd Bartel

Todd Bartel founded the Thompson Gallery at The Cambridge School of Weston (CSW) in 2007—a teaching gallery dedicated to thematic inquiry, offering three differing vantages of the selected topic throughout the school year. Bartel has curated 50 exhibitions since the gallery's opening and has recently been working with museum collections. In November of 2021, the artist-curator selected work for a small exhibition at Knoxville Museum of Art, Knoxville, TN, showcasing the museum's uncollages, which were included in their Currents exhibition. He has also worked with museum collections at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art (New Orleans, LO), the Art Complex Museum (Duxbury, MA), and the Henry Sheldon Museum (Middlebury, VT). He has published six articles on his "uncollage" concept in Kolaj magazine, including Defining Uncollage (Kolaj #25), Before It's An Uncollage (Kolaj #26), Uncollage In Photography and Filmography (Kolaj #27), Collection Is Cohesion (Kolaj #28), The Third Thing is Immaterial (Kolaj # 34), and Currents—Uncollage Premieres at the KMA (Kolaj #35). Bartel teaches drawing, painting, collage, and conceptual art at CSW, where he has taught for 25 years. Unconnected Yet is Bartel's first international exhibition, which is now a traveling show.
