Talk: Glenn Adamson, Craft in the 21st Century
21st February '09, 2:30pm
White Stag Block at University of Oregon,
70 NW Couch Street, Portland, Oregon
The Museum of Contemporary Craft in association with the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, University of Oregon present ‘Craft in the 21st Century: Directions and Displacements’, a talk by Glenn Adamson, Deputy Head of Research at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Hailed by writer and historian Garth Clark as “one of craft’s fresh, young, nontraditional voices”, Adamson is one of the most dynamic theorists currently considering craft.
Framing his discussion broadly throughout contemporary aesthetic culture, Adamson provides ripe context for a range of visual practitioners – including fine artists, designers, architects, historians and indie crafters.
