Watch | Who knew you could create contemporary art with buttons

There's no denying buttons are an important clothing item but can they rise to the level of art? A new exhibition at a Chelsea gallery proves they can.

In the hands of 11 artists the everyday mundane objects are used to create sculptures, portraits and amazing wearable art some political, personal and whimsical.

The Button Show's curator is Peter “Souleo” Wright, who goes by Souleo. The show is being held at Rush Arts Gallery in New York City.
