The pamella roland Fall 2012 collection recently traveled to Mexico where it was presented in a runway show sponsored by Frattina. The event was hosted by Daniel Parfait, the French Ambassador to Mexico and was held at his private home in Mexico City. More than 500 people attended the show which benefited Casa de la Amistad, an organization which provides comprehensive support to children with cancer throughout Mexico.

This exhibition consists of fifty-two large-scale panels, and is a monumental participatory work that incorporates chance and performance, hallmarks of Rauschenberg’s art.  Each of the panels is a collage of images taken from photographs the artist took during his global travels.  The title of the work and the number of paintings refer to a deck of cads, a clever signal of the work’s installation method: each time the panels of Synapsis Shuffle are presented, they are meant to be “shuffled” by event participants, in displays of no more than seven and no fewer than three.  Below is a photo from today’s pre-”shuffled” exhibit in the gallery of the Grand Rapids Art Museum.

The Grand Rapids Art Museum organized the event, “dealing out a hand” to the event participants, where the panels were then shuffled into a unique exhibition.  

“Shufflers” Pamella and Dan DeVos, artistically place their panels in the exhibit.
