“I wanted to focus on bringing in a lot of objects that are both capital-A art and capital-C craft and allow people to traverse those different ideas.” - Nora Atkinson, the Lloyd Herman Curator of Craft at the Renwick Gallery
Connections: Contemporary Craft at the Renwick Gallery opens July 1 and remains on view indefinitely. The Renwick's reinstallation of more than eighty objects from its permanent collection brings together artists working in media as diverse as vinyl, denim, quartz, and glass. Connections does away with the idea that the curator's voice is absolute authority. Instead, the exhibition seeks to link objects by stories and relationships, and presents works that engender ever-evolving associations and interpretations. Read more on Eye Level.
