PRojecTORdinarY

A walkthrough of the work and words behind MFA Thesis Exhibition, PRojecTORdinarY (2014). The contemporary art book features the artwork of Southern California based artist, Paul Kelley. It includes an introduction by professor and art critic, David Pagel as well as a link to a digitally animated flip book created by Kelley, which was inspired by one of his installation works titled Impede II. Quote from Introduction: 'Real innocence-and real ambition-gives Kelley's no-nonsense combos of projected light, cast shadows and mundane objects their kick and intrigue. Each makes you see familiar stuff with fresh eyes, the quiet mystery of everyday things so obvious that you feel like a fool for having forgotten that every moment of every hour of every day can be like that-while, simultaneously, being thrilled that Kelley has given you the chance to see the world as it really is: a magical mixture of ordinary stuff and extraordinary experiences.' -David Pagel, Professor of Art Theory and History, Claremont Graduate University 3
