Description

Description

Contemporary craft objects can be perceived in various ways - as works of art or functional, handmade items. This publication explores how different voices in craft theory approach these objects as part of a particular discourse and aesthetic vocabulary. The authors investigate the perception of contemporary crafts as representations of reality that do not rely on autonomy. Instead, they examine the possibility of perceiving craft objects from perspectives related to materialism, challenging traditional dualisms between aesthetics and everyday life. By exploring this new perspective, the publication sheds light on the possibilities and potential benefits of discussing contemporary crafts in a fresh and innovative way.
