Museum of Contemporary Craft Presents: Gestures of Resistance, Curated by Judith Leemann and Shannon Stratton, Exhibit featured January 26-June 26, 2010, The following is the exhibit introduction:
“Gestures of Resistance examines work by contemporary artists who focus on craft actions and create works that use craft to agitate for change. Rather than present a groupings of objects, the exhibition unfolds over its tenure at the Museum. Through a series of seven artists residencies, open conversations and a study center, the exhibition is a timely examination of what it means to create, to have personal agency, and to counter drives towards productivity and consumption through craft”.
