No, No, For You

Work by Andy Hunt & Rob Sohmer

Exhibition Dates: June 5th, 2022 - June 26th, 2022

No, No, for You, is an exhibition of collaborative works by Rob Sohmer and Andy Hunt. The exhibition presents handmade artworks which are available for taking, for free, by visitors to the show. The artists are intrigued by the transactional relationships between artists, arts organizations, and the public. No, No, for You, questions the assumed value of exhibiting artworks by refocusing attention on gratitude and gifts. Over the course of 5 weeks, the show will change as viewers choose to take/leave artworks, and new versions are replaced by Sohmer and Hunt.
