This exhibition explores contemporary artists’ use of unusual mark-making devices, including blood, smoke, Kool-Aid, coffee, scrap metal, vegetable juice, pins, dryer lint, and more, to create drawings and prints. With works drawn largely from the collection of the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, “Out of the Ordinary examines artists” wide-ranging motivations for choosing such unorthodox media, from sensory play and experimentation to excavations of the charged historical and symbolic values of mundane substances. Out of the Ordinary includes works by Tara Donovan, Anya Gallaccio, Mona Hatoum, Richard Long, Umar Rashid, Sherrill Roland, Ed Ruscha, and Zarina, among others.
