From linoleum to drywall, dead flowers to toilet paper, ordinary, disposal and perishable objects serve as the point of departure for the array of contemporary artworks found in ExtraOrdinary Objects. Drawn from Glenbow’s collection and beyond, these works born of humble materials – used as both medium and subject matter – come from eight Canadian artists, both emerging and established, who have breathed new life and complex meaning into seemingly ordinary things, revealing the incredible potential of the overlooked objects that surround us.Organized by Glenbow
