Curation + Exhibition

THE EVERYDAY & EXTRAORDINARY

Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery | Arts Council Collection, 2018

Showcasing 70 modern and contemporary artworks this exhibition celebrated the wonder of physical objects in a predominantly digital age where artistic creativity helps us all to see the world in extraordinary ways. Found objects have been transformed by artists and used to communicate a particular idea or concept e.g. Pop Art and Surrealism.  It is the relationship between the found object as artistic material, content and subject-matter that provides the basis for this exhibition which presented a Wunderkammer (a room of wonder) of artworks from Arts Council Collection and Birmingham Museums.
