This exhibition is concerned with how contemporary artists approach objects as containers – as a reliquary contains objects of devotion – vessel like containers and even shelf like structures made by sculptors often evoke or suggest the same hint at the possibility of containing or presenting something desirable.

The picture frame itself, or the pages of a book could also be described as a container for object veneration.
