Extraordinary: Art at the Margins In this speaker series we are interested in the margins of creative practice: How is unusual work curated, displayed, and conserved? Here we invite practitioners who pursue unusual creative outcomes, produced in uncommon contexts or engaging unconventional audiences. This series aims to highlight the challenges of working outside of the box at all stages of the creative process: from conceptualization to production to curation to archival strategies. How do practitioners work with new methods and contexts to bring their extra-ordinary work to audiences?
