Perfectly Strange
The aesthetic of the strange can mean many things. Terms such as surreal, primitive, symbolic, and uncanny describe works that rely on a connection with the odd or illogical. In our day-to-day lives we use words such as quirky, weird, bizarre, peculiar, eerie, disturbing, distorted, and foreign to describe what resides outside the parameters of 鈥渢he normal.鈥� To complicate things further, what one person considers strange, another may not.
This exhibition presents works of art that the curator sees implicitly or explicitly as strange. In some cases the unusual is plainly accomplished using unique perspectives or techniques. Other works engage with mystery and fantasy. Designed to elicit both delight and fright, Perfectly Strange is loosely divided into four sections: the world of the imagination, the world of the real, the world of the distorted and grotesque, and the world of the circus. Incorporating prints, drawings, and photographs, the installation will be strange in its own right, combining media in playful and unexpected ways.
