| Summary: | "There are many ways to perceive and interpret contemporary craft objects -- for instance, as works of representational art in ceramics, glass, textile, metal and wood, or as functional, handmade everyday objects. In Material perceptions, the contributors investigate the perception of contemporary crafts as a particular discourse and aesthetic vocabulary. According to the editors, contemporary crafts can benefit from being discussed as representations of reality that do not rely on the concept of autonomy.

The contributors investigate the possibility to perceive craft objects from perspectives that relate to the aesthetic tradition of materialism"--Page 4 of cover. |
