The University of Michigan Museum of Art is undergoing an extensive renovation. The museum is operating a temporary exhibition space at 1301 S. University, Ann Arbor, next to the university's central campus.
The gallery is opening a new exhibit, "Out of the Ordinary/ Extraordinary: Contemporary Japanese Photography," through Sept. 16.
This exhibition of works by 11 photographers challenges conventional Western assumptions about Japanese aesthetics and culture. The images are both puzzling and provocative.
Michiko Kasahara, one of Japan's leading curators of contemporary art, has chosen artists whose work probes the many layers of moral and social anxiety that underlie a surface of prosperity and well-being.
The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays and from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Admission is free, but a $5 donation is suggested. Call 1-734-763-8662 or visit www.umma.umich.edu for more information.
