Return to Function
Friday November 13, 2009 from 11:00am - 4:00pm
Des Moines Art Center
4700 Grand Ave
Des Moines, Iowa 50312 Get Directions
'Return to Function' explores the desire of contemporary artists to make functional objects. Dissolving the line between fine and applied arts, the objects in this exhibition demonstrate how works of art can be engaged with the world around them by responding to the needs of everyday life. The works in the exhibition range from vehicles to clothing to lighting to mobile architecture. Return to Function unites emerging and established artists from American and European contexts, including Jules De Balincourt, Davide Balula, Ralph Borland, Claire Fontaine, Mark Hosking, Fabrice Hyber, Huong Ngo, Lucy Orta, Jorge Pardo and Andrea Zittel, among others.
