The American architect Louis Sullivan’s now famous maxim Form follows function was one of the primary principles of Modernist architecture and design, and contributed to the geometric reductivism of Modernist painting and sculpture. This language has been revisited a number of times since, but recently artists have responded more irreverently. The result has been to allow very non-Modernists elements into the paradigm: fantasy, absurdity and humour, to re-claim and enrich this once hallowed ground. Some of the artists begin with function and allow its failure to become its form, while others create forms that can only aspire to function.
