Spencer Museum Of Art, Kansas will run an exhibition named "Extra/Ordinary: Video Art from Asia" from October 24, 2009 to February 14, 2010, at Kress Gallery.
Extra/Ordinary investigates new ways of transforming mundane experiences, familiar environments and daily routines into moments of expanded meaning, contemplation and humor.
Organized by the Spencer Museum of Art, this exhibition features recent video by artists from across Asia, including: Bani Abidi (Pakistan), Kan Xuan (China), Taro Izumi (Japan), Tsui Kuang-yu (Taiwan), and Jung Yeondoo (Korea) and the Xijing Men’s Collective, which includes Chen Shaoxiong (China), Gimhongsok (Korea), and Tsuyoshi Ozawa(Japan).
By repositioning our constructed notions of the “everyday” as absurd encounters, unexpected discoveries, or comical interventions this exhibition explores the imaginative potential embedded in the everyday.
Together the artists in this exhibition uncover the potential of quotidian experience and the material stuff of the world as mutable, un-tethered reservoirs of possibility and in the process turns ordinary moments into celebrations of hidden meaning, wondrous encounters, and poetic meaning. -- www.spencerart.ku.edu
