"Local Objects"

Introducing: International Objects. A platform dedicated to a central proposition: to diminish the categories that have kept art and design separate.

In its first exhibition, International Objects presents Local Objects, a field of works created by artists and designers who, with few exceptions, have produced their objects locally in the greater New York City area. In this exhibition, and in exhibitions to follow, we will provide evidence that within discourse, artists and designers work in parallel processes to produce objects that complicate the social structures and sign systems of their surrounding environments.
