By Hand - The Use of Craft in Contemporary Art


authors: Shu Hung and Joseph Magliaro
publisher: princeton architectural
year: 2006





Meine Favorites:










this book is not an attempt to tackle the murky distinctions
between art and design, art and craft, and craft and design.
instead presents a lively and diverse roster of thirty-two artists,
who all share a dedication to sewing machines, knitting needeles,
crochet hooks and embroidery hoops.

age-old techniques, often passed down from one generation
to another. with focus on detail.
it takes a long time to make something.
in these laborious art works the process becomes important.
to ‘craft’, meaning to ‘care’, is restored to its original sense.
the process of fabrication as gestures of sincerity.

more of the subversive knitters. .. Lisa Anne Auerbach


In Sabrina Gschwandtner KnitKnit-Profiles and Projects from Knitting's New Wave and the exhibition Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting in New York's Museum of Arts and Design 2007 presents the crafters / artists that I will now involve in my thesis (if it requires even a more detailed inspection of the reflectance of their work, as I noticed in the Seminar the other day ... with Rosemarie Trockel's cock is here very ambitious).

The fact that knitting, crocheting, embroidery and lace commonly a sphere of domesticity is attributed, is punished by those issued in Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting work lie - whether that accept the work an unexpected size dimension that the complexity production and surprised them a radical and often politisch relevanter Inhalt zugrunde liegt.

„First and foremost has been a re-valuation of hand making as a means of recapturing the sensuality and tactility of sculpture. In a world where the clinical and impersonal nature of digital technologies may perplex and discourage us (...), what can restore our connection to community, to our history, and to our shared aspirations is the sense hand – i.e., of making something from start to finish by manual labor.“ so McFadden in the introduction to Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting.

Die Wiederentdeckung von Stricken und anderen Handarbeits-Techniken (so-called „domestic“ handcrafts) kann in Amerika vielleicht auch auf die Folgen der Ereignisse vom 11. September 2001 will be due ...

McFadden believe's knitting has prospered since 9 / 11 "because it is such a tradition-based communication. Knitting is done by someone GeneRally for somebody, there are a lot of gifts involved with it. Knitters tend to hang together and become little communities, Which is a spirit that is reflected in many of the works in this show. "



Because in the last blog entry by Lisa Anne Auerbach went, and under the category of" political knitter "is, I would like to add this category yet to Cat Mazza .

Freddie Robins "Craft Kills" is among my favorite works. Ihr Werk ist fast ausschließlich der Technik des Strickens gewidmet, besonders auch der kritischen Erforschung des industriellen computergesteuerten Strickautomaten.
