The Ashtray Show
June 22 – September 9, 2018
Opening Reception June 22, 2018 from 7–10pm
Fisher Parrish Gallery is pleased to present The Ashtray Show, an exhibition of original small works by over 80 contemporary artists and designers. The Ashtray Show will commemorate our 1 year anniversary as Fisher Parrish Gallery and is the 4th in a series of exhibitions which focus on the home and the objects in them - the sculptural objects to which we ascribe a simple function. From clearly “designed” and functional works, to more conceptual explorations of a specific function, these exhibitions engage both established and emerging artists and designers in an important dialogue - pushing their own disciplinary boundaries and allowing for a deeper understanding of the object.
Following our inaugural exhibition, The Paperweight Show at Fisher Parrish Gallery, The Ashtray Show celebrates another seemingly obsolete object from the mid-century-modern deskscape – now perhaps made relevant again by the legalization of marijuana. Smoking is back en-vogue and we can all finally start accessorizing again!
The Ashtray Show runs from June 22nd through September 9, 2018, with an opening reception on Friday, June 22nd from 7 – 10pm.
