“In the hands of today’s artists, even the most mundane of materials—from blood to bandages to bicycle
parts—can be repurposed as art that is sometimes beautiful, often challenging and always thoughtprovoking.
This sequel to Extreme Materials, MAG’s wildly popular 2006 exhibition, showcases 41
artists from the US, Canada, England and Germany.”

Join us for a private tour of the exhibition.
Those who wish to continue the conversation about the exhibition or socialize with
other RIC members will walk to Starry Nites Café on the next block for coffee, snack
and chat at about 1 pm.
