Description
EXTRA-ORDINARY THINGS features five artists who regularly transform the ordinary into the extraordinary—engaging with unexpected and often commonly available source materials to construct works that are surprising for their scope and simplicity. Teeming with allusion and wordplay, these objects sustain a certain tension as open/structured, logical/intuitive,playful/thoughtful, as they subvert expectations and suggest greater implications.

Comments
The Earl & Virginia Green Art Gallery presents a program of rotating contemporary art exhibitions on the campus of Biola University. Located in the greater Los Angeles area, the Green Art Gallery is well positioned to represent a vital Christian worldview within the critical dialogue of contemporary visual art and to produce engaging exhibitions that grapple with issues concerning the intersection of faith with art and culture. The Green Art Gallery also provides professional development opportunities for Biola art students through gallery exhibitions and internships.
