Jim Hodges features in 'Out of the Ordinary'

Out of the Ordinary: Uncommon Materials, Marks, and Matrices explores contemporary artists’ use of unconventional mark-making devices, including blood, smoke, coffee, scrap metal, vegetable juice, dryer lint and more, to create drawings and prints. 

With works drawn largely from the collection of the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, the show examines the 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. 

The exhibition includes works by Jim Hodges, Tara Donovan, Anya Gallaccio, Mona Hatoum, Richard Long, Umar Rashid, Sherrill Roland, Ed Ruscha, and Zarina, among others.

Out of the Ordinary is organised by Jennie Waldow, curatorial assistant and collection specialist.

Lead support for the exhibition is provided by the Steinhauser Greenberg Exhibition Fund.
