Stranger Things Are Happening presents new and existing work by several international artists/groups who work in the fields of contemporary sculpture, video installation and live art within the gallery and a selection of off-site venues throughout Portsmouth. Stranger Things Are Happening brings together artists that use diverse media to create works which convey bizarre scenarios, poking at the human psyche. The artists involve themselves either as character or as narrator, using theatrical backdrops and humour to delve into the more challenging and questionable aspects of society. They invent fantasy personalities and situations that examine matters such as the hysteria around mass media and popular culture, and the place the characters (or us as individuals) have within them. Artists include; Jonathan Baldock, David Blandy, Olaf Breuning, Nick Crowe & Ian Rawlinson, David Ferrando, Erkka Nissinen, Kim Noble and Plastique Fantastique.
