The Craft Museum: Ideals and Practice (2 of 4)

submitted by Marvin's Underground Evening Lectures on 10/10/18 1

“The Vitrine as Threshold: Craft in a Changing Museum” by Perry Price, American Craft Council “Beyond the Carpets: Exhibiting Crafts and Designs in Iran” by Alexander Nagel, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution This symposium examines the role of the craft museum in modern culture. Coinciding with the renovation of the Renwick Gallery, the Smithsonian’s national craft museum, this program seeks a lively dialogue on craft’s institutional mission, and the execution of programming devoted to the collection, conservation, presentation, and study of craft. The issue of how to interpret the field of craft in a museum setting is increasingly urgent as the boundaries of its teaching, practice, reception, and the discipline’s very definition shift dramatically in the first quarter of the 21st century.
