Ordinary things (exhibition)
Ordinary things (exhibition)
More than a century ago, Marcel Duchamp celebrated ordinary objects by putting them on pedestals in galleries. His playful engagement with the ‘museum effect’ — the extraordinary attention we’re expected to pay any object placed in an art gallery — suggested that art is an act of heightened awareness. In ‘Ordinary Things’, twenty-six artists at WSA transform everyday objects into complex meditations on what it means to be in the world.
Participating artists: Danny Aldred, Alexandra (Sasha) Anikina, Daniel Ashton, Andrew Brook, J. R. Carpenter, Stephen Cornford, Ian Dawson, Megen de Bruin-Molé, Francis Gene-Rowe, Dave Gibbons, Seth Giddings, John Gillett, Jacob Hall, Daniel Hobson, Gordon Hon, Christina Mamakos, Clio Padovani, Kwame Phillips, Adam Procter, Andrew Reaney, Sara Roberts, Steven Sanderson, Amy Scott-Pillow, Julian Stadon, Nick Stewart, and Kai Syng Tan.

Abstract
More than a century ago, Marcel Duchamp celebrated ordinary objects by putting them on pedestals in galleries. His playful engagement with the ‘museum effect’ — the extraordinary attention we’re expected to pay any object placed in an art gallery — suggested that art is an act of heightened awareness. In ‘Ordinary Things’, twenty-six artists at WSA transform everyday objects into complex meditations on what it means to be in the world.
Participating artists: Danny Aldred, Alexandra (Sasha) Anikina, Daniel Ashton, Andrew Brook, J. R. Carpenter, Stephen Cornford, Ian Dawson, Megen de Bruin-Molé, Francis Gene-Rowe, Dave Gibbons, Seth Giddings, John Gillett, Jacob Hall, Daniel Hobson, Gordon Hon, Christina Mamakos, Clio Padovani, Kwame Phillips, Adam Procter, Andrew Reaney, Sara Roberts, Steven Sanderson, Amy Scott-Pillow, Julian Stadon, Nick Stewart, and Kai Syng Tan.
