Group exhibition: 'Hypothetical Function'

Hypothetical Function is a group show of objects and images by artists who interrogate utiility in art, examining our relationship with and the function of aesthetics and design. From Marcel Duchamp to Andy Warhol, artists in the 20th century challenged what art is, its utility, and its potential to transcend material reality. Similarly, artists in Hypothetical Function explore notions of use, frivolity, and purpose in art, and how the participation of viewers has the potential to activate their works.

Artists featured in the exhibition include:

Luke Batchelder, B.F.A. painting

Jocelyn DeSisto, B.F.A., jewelry, 2017
