Featuring artists that explore the boundaries between art and design-work that challenges the traditional notion that design should emphasize its utility over aesthetic or other functional considerations.
The exhibition will explore the concept of functional and wearable art, the significance of these art forms in the contemporary art world and highlight artists who have transformed a traditional approach, some even into to a commodified version.
