- **Event Name**: The Unusual Suspects: Art From Unexpected Materials
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 11 Jul, 2025 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Unusual Suspects brings together a group of contemporary artists whose practices challenge traditional notions of artmaking by embracing unexpected, repurposed, or unconventional materials. From salvaged plastics and industrial debris to domestic ephemera and organic detritus, these artists transform the overlooked, the discarded, and the unremarkable into compelling, thought-provoking works of art.



In a time of growing environmental consciousness, material experimentation, and conceptual reinvention, The Unusual Suspects highlights the power of creativity to reshape perception—not only of what art can be, but of what materials are worthy of cultural and aesthetic attention.



The exhibition focuses on material innovation, emphasizing process, transformation, and meaning embedded in nontraditional media. Rather than treating materials as neutral carriers for form or concept, these artists foreground the material itself—its origin, history, and symbolism—making it central to the work’s impact.



The selected works include sculpture, installation, wall-based pieces, and mixed media, all of which foreground the unconventional nature of their construction. Through these works, the exhibition asks: What stories do materials carry? How does their recontextualization subvert expectations? And what can they tell us about consumption, identity, and the environment?

The show opens on Friday July 11th 6pm and is on display until Saturday, August 9th.
