Object Oriented: Abstraction and Design in the BAMPFA Collection
April 24 - July 12
Downtown Berkeley, Berkeley
"Object Oriented" examines how artists reshape familiar things, pairing abstract paintings with functional design pieces to make you see ordinary objects differently. The exhibition brings BAMPFA's collection into conversation: paintings that flaunt their materiality sit beside architectural maquettes and artists' books, all prompting you to question what you think you're looking at.
