Objects and Meaning: New Perspectives on Art and Craftby M. Anna Fariello
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:How do art and craft relate to each other and, more important, what
can they do to the artist? In this collection of 13 essays,
contributors focus on these questions and how they influence and are
influenced by gender, economics, and society (critic and patron).
They describe the historical contexts, including critical approaches
and the pursuit of the avant-garde among American craftspeople,
cultural systems that inform power and move beyond the binary in
terms of debate and dialog, affectivity and entropy within production
aesthetics in contemporary structure, and theoretical frames, such as
how one "reads" the language of objects, feminism and knowledge
within craft, subjectivity, workmanship, and evolutionary biology and
its implications for craft. This is a paperbound reprint of a 2004
work.
