No one can deny that buttons are an important clothing device. But , can they rise to the level of art ?

Organizers of an exhibit in New York City think so .

Peter Souleo Wright organized “ The Button Show ” at Rush Arts Gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of

Manhattan . Eleven artists used the small , ordinary objects to create sculptures , portraits and wearable art .

Some of the works are political , some are personal and others are just fun .

Wright said each artist reimagines and repurposes the buttons to make art . “ What I tried to do with this

show ,” he said , “ was to look at artists who were promoting that level of craft .”

He said he wanted the button art to be comparable to a painting “ because of the amount of detail and

precision in the work.”

Artist Beau McCall produced “A Harlem Hangover”. It looks like a wine bottle that fell over on a table .

A stream of connected red buttons hand over the side , like wine flowing down . Similar red button form a

small pool on the floor.

McCall layers buttons of different shapes and sizes to create the bottle. The stitching that holds them

together is also part of the artistic design .

For San Francisco-based artist Lisa Kokin , buttons are highly personal . After her father died in 2001 ,

she created a portrait of him using only buttons. That memorial to her father led to other button portraits,

including those of activists Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez.

Others use buttons for details. Artist Amalia Amaki of Tuscaloosa , Alabama , placed them on and around

old photographs. Los Angeles artist Camilla Taylor attached buttons to three large sculptures t hat look like

headless animals with long , narrow legs.

“ The Button Show” ends at March 12 . The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation paid for the exhibition .

The foundation was created in 1995 by the Simmons brothers : artist Danny , hip-hop producer Russell and

rapper Rev. Run. The foundation seeks to bring the arts to urban youth and to provide support for new

artists.

A survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your

passport.

According to the results of an international passenger survey , Australians are the biggest drinkers on

board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch, compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of

Brits.

The Airline Passenger Experience Association ( APEX) spoke to around 1500 people, aged 18 and older ,

who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States,

United Kingdom, Germany, Japan , China , Singapore , Australia or Brazil.

The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off once the sea-belt sign switches off. They are

also the first to reach for their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming.

Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively ---when not drinking ---

choosing to work while flying a 350000 feet .

Meanwhile , Brits and Germans are the best at making chat with random strangers --- spending 50 percent

more time than any other nationality. Comparatively , Brazilians conduct their conversations online via e-

mail , messaging apps or social media.

Despite plane food having a bad reputation , seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up

on the selection in-flight snacks and meals . In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five

passengers claiming to read them .
