Objects of Inquiry: The Office for the Study of the Ordinary, February 22 – April 5, 2025

Objects of Inquiry: The Office of the Study of the Ordinary open through Saturday, April 5.

Objects of Inquiry is the culmination of a year-long artist residency with Liz Hernández at SF
State's School of Art, sponsored by the Harker Fund of the San Francisco Foundation.
Over the last twelve months, Hernández has been serving as the lead researcher for
the fictional Office for the Study of the Ordinary. Her office focused on investigating the
everyday and documenting hidden narratives through the creation of objects, images,
and writing, fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, vulnerability, curiosity, and
experimentation. This culminating exhibition features documentation of the physical
office, processes, artifacts, collaborations with over 150 participants, and printed material of the O.S.O.
