HANDJOB Gallery/Store
238 Wilson Ave
Brooklyn, New York
2013 – 2016
HANDJOB was a gallery and store curated by Zoe Fisher which hosted a selection of works by contemporary artists, tasked to produce, by hand, an edition of 5-10 objects, which were by the artist’s own definition ‘functional’. At the time of its inseption in 2012, the fields of Art and Design were been largely divorced in terms of functionality; Art was non-functional, and Design or Craft was strictly functional. By inviting artists to create functional objects, HANDJOB created a space between Art, Design, and Craft. HANDJOB upported a dialogue between the artist, the designer, the producer and the consumer, towards the production of more interesting objects and a richer everyday aesthetic.
