BOFFO presents:
OBJECTIVE AFFECTION: an exhibition concerned with the influence of objects in contemporary culture.
We are a global community self defined by the possessions and considerations given to the objects we value. Through these objects we establish identity and express our beliefs and guiding ideologies. Objective Affection will explore the themes in design and art that repeat themselves throughout our designed environment. To explore these themes we will present a wide range of work from emergent artists and designers as well as established producers of contemporary works. These works will range from industrial design and architecture to graphic design and visual art.

The Shop
In addition to the collection of works, there is also a conceptual boutique, where participants are asked to present objects that have influenced their work or their persona. These collections of objects can be anything from a CD of the music that inspired them to a tool that was vital to their work. This conceptual consignment store explores the artists/designers own relationship to the objects in their lives and adds a layer of understanding to the umbrella concept of Objective Affection.
