Objects of Inquiry is the culmination of an artist residency with Liz Hernández at SF State's School of Art, sponsored by the Harker Fund of the San Francisco Foundation. For the residency, Hernández has been serving as the as lead researcher for the fictional The Office for the Study of the Ordinary. Her office focuses on investigating the everyday, and documenting hidden narratives through the creation of objects, images and writing. It fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration, vulnerability, curiosity and experimentation. This culminating exhibition on the San Francisco State campus features documentation of the physical office, processes, artifacts, collaborations, and printed material.
