Manuf®actured: The Conspicuous Transformation of Everyday Objects

crafty-admin — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 10:57:33 -0500

Start: Aug 28 2008 - 11:00am

End: Jan 4 2009 - 4:00pm

Start: Aug 28 2008 - 11:00am

End: Jan 4 2009 - 4:00pm

Description:

Featuring works in a wide variety of disciplines, the exhibition focuses on pieces which operate simultaneously as art, craft and design. In development since early 2006 by guest co-curators and internationally-recognized design leader Steven Skov Holt and art historian Mara Holt Skov, the exhibition is the first of its kind to present a definitive look at this new, distinct object class.

Drawing on Marcel Duchamp's concept of the "readymade" - art objects created from found objects - the Skov Holts push boundaries of traditional craft, attempting to provide a fuller understanding of materiality and making. With work as diverse as Cat Chow's Bonded, a dress made entirely of one continuous zipper, and Jason Rogenes' towers crafted from polystyrene, Manuf®actured provokes as many questions as it answers, illuminating issues such as over-abundance, re-appropriation, the relationship between creator and creation and environmental awareness through thought-provoking reuse. The exhibition includes work by 17 artists from the U.S., England, France and the Netherlands, including: Hrafnhildur Arnardottir, Boris Bally, Harriete Estel Berman, Jerry Bleem, Constantin & Laurene Boym, Cat Chow, Sonya Clark, Mitra Fabian, Hella Jongerius, Livia Marin, Régis Mayot, Devorah Sperber, Jason Rogenes, Laura Splan, Marcel Wanders and Dominic Wilcox.

Description:

This annual event is pretty amazing. Teams of artists are given piles of reclaimed stuff, and then a theme is revealed. The teams then have just a few hours to build the best sculpture representing that theme. There's also rowdy referees, celebrity judges, live music, a kids' corner, craft vendors, merriment and mayhem. If you've never been before, you owe it to yourself.

(Oh, and note the new location this year.)

Description:

Leader: Serena Appel

Recent research has demonstrated that community, self-empowerment, and validation of individual experiences and feelings are vitally important in order for survivors of traumatic experience to heal. This lecture focuses on how group art therapy can provide opportunities for building self esteem, fostering supportive community, and a unique model of self expression and catharsis that draws power from the use of non-verbal imagery.

The presentation will include opportunities for questions and for a basic art making exercise.
