Manuf®actured: The Conspicuous Transformation of Everyday Objects | Event Type: | Exhibitions | | | | Company: | Museum of Contemporary Craft | | Dates: | Aug 28 2008 - Jan 04 2009 | | Location: | Portland, OR | | Address: | Museum of Contemporary Craft,
724 Northwest Davis St.,
Portland,
OR, 97209 | | | | Industry: | DES | | Posted By: | UP world | | Reply: | Send Message | | | | Description: | Guest co-curated by internationally recognized design leader Steven Skov Holt and art historian Mara Holt Skov, Manuf®actured explores how artists are using mass-manufactured objects to create art. Featuring works by 16 artists from the U.S., England, France and the Netherlands, the exhibition focuses on works that function simultaneously as art, craft and design. With works as diverse as Cat Chow's Bonded, a dress made entirely of one continuous zipper, and Jason Rogenes' towers crafted from polystyrene, Manuf®actured provokes as many questions as it answers, illuminating issues such a reappropriation, the relationship between creator and creation and environmental awareness through thought-provoking reuse.
