EXTRA/PHENOMENALITIES came to a close this past week, following a very successful run at Stanford Art Gallery. Curated by the non/phenomenal collective (Brett Amory, Karin Denson, and Shane Denson), and featuring 20 artists and collaboratives, the exhibition opened on January 22 and closed on March 13.
The show was extremely well attended throughout the 7+ week duration, with visitors spending a good deal of time in the gallery. Despite the conceptual complexity of the show, visitors from a wide variety of backgrounds reported that they found it engaging and accessible.

The exhibition, curated by the non/phenomenal collective (Brett Amory, Karin Denson, and Shane Denson) is open Monday through Friday, 12-5pm, through March 13.
