This exhibition is organized by The University of North Dakota's Department of Art & Design and seeks artwork of any media on the topic of when things are strange. This exhibition wants to see the things you find strange, odd, peculiar and even magical or bizarre. This theme crosses many subjects such as portraiture, montage, documentary and surrealism. From the mundane of everyday life, to dreamscape realities or to the circus show of contemporary politics we want to know what you find or create that is strange, unusual or out of the norm. This exhibition is open to all media (except video) including photography.
