Ubiquitous and drab though they may seem by nature, tools are both necessary for individual daily functions and testaments to the historical success of our societies. In the Louisiana Art & Science Museum’s latest exhibit, our quotidian tools get a makeover, transformed into objects of beauty, insight, and wit. ReTooled: Highlights from the Hechinger Collection features work by twenty eight visionary artists and their artistic interpretations of everything from a lawn mower to a paint can. lasm.org.
