Work for this exhibition selected by Staci Steinberger, Associate Curator of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Craft Revolution displays work with the unity of inspiration and skill philosophers call “craft” — in drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, ceramics, weaving, architectural plans and maquettes, interior design, furniture design, fashion design, photography, video, installation art, and objets d’art in all mediums, including wood, metal, stone, clay, paper, textiles and glass. Craft is the bond between concept and technique, the link between hand, mind, and heart. OCCCA exhibits unusual, avant-garde, hybrid artworks that merge together, in a single piece, elements of fine art and the traditional crafts. Craft Revolution will illuminate an important truth about contemporary art: we can no longer categorically separate craft, fine art, decorative art, and utilitarian, designer objects.
Sophisticated, well-crafted objects — no matter the medium — inevitably elicit a frisson of desire. .
