| Summary: | "In recent times 'craft' has been employed stategically--to confront issues of gender or uneven global development, to make a stand against artistic academicism, or to engage with making processes, some distinctly archaic, employed to suggest the abject and the everyday. This anthology offers an ethnography of craft, surveying its shape-shifting identities in the context of progressive art and design. Reflections on new technologies, lost and found worlds of handwork and the politics of work all throw light on 'craft' as process, product and ideology."--Page 4 of cover. |
