The Extraordinary is a group show of eight artists who are currently in the process of gaining, or currently possess an O-1 Non-immigrant Visa: Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement. The exhibition seeks to bring transparency to the immigration process and at the same time, inspect the system, which requires those selected to have “distinction” and be “renowned” in the arts—a subjective and complicated qualification.
Opening Reception will be held on Wednesday, October 16th from 6-9pm at Hunter East Harlem Gallery, 2180 Third Avenue (enter on 119th Street) in East Harlem.
