    For the past 100 years, artists have increasingly explored unconventional materials and invented new art-making techniques. This exhibition challenged visitors to pay close attention to how artists have manipulated everything from generic ballpoint pens to unusual found objects like snake bones, inviting the viewer to experience the imaginative artistic transformation of materials through diverse creative acts.
