Description
Thinking Through Craft by Glenn Adamson explores the often-overlooked world of craft in contemporary art. In this timely and engaging introduction, Adamson challenges conventional notions of what constitutes "craft" and argues for a more nuanced understanding of its significance. Through a combination of historical case studies and analysis of key concepts such as sensuality, skill, and the amateur, Adamson sheds light on the often-marginalized role of craft in various disciplines. This thought-provoking book is an essential read for anyone interested in the broader visual arts and the complex relationships between art, craft, and culture. By examining the ways in which craft has been perceived as "inferior" to art, Adamson provides a fresh perspective on this crucial aspect of creative practice.
