Craft Forward Symposium 2011: A preview of "Manufractured" (the exhibition)
March 30, 2011
Manufractured is the featured exhibition in conjunction with the Craft Forward Symposium at the California College for the Arts, Oakland, CA Campus. The exhibition is curated by Mara Holt Skov and Steven Skov Holt, professors at CCA and authors of the book
Manufractured: The Conspicuous Transformation of Everyday Objects.
Manufractured includes work from a variety of Bay Area artists and makers who use familiar manufactured materials and items transformed into something completely unexpected.
Think repurposed, recycled, remixed, and mixed media. Expect the unexpected from medicine capsules and LEGOS to binder clips and maybe Jello? "Artists in the exhibition include CCA Faculty member Michele Pred along with Bay Area artists Harriete Estel Berman(Grass/gras' in the above photo and below), Mitra Fabian, Liz Hickok , Andy Diaz Hope, emiko oye, Laurel Roth, and Thomas Wold. Several pieces have been produced specifically for the exhibition and are being seen for the very first time."
GAME ON! ROLL THE DICE!
Each day the above Game Board will change with the events at the Craft Forward Symposium. The stakes are high!
Gallery openings are important occasions -- bring business cards.
I had my business cards printed by Moo.
