hand + made | PURCHASE THE BOOK
Hand + Made: The Performative Impulse in Art and Craft assesses the latest developments in the ever-increasing overlap between contemporary art and craft. Through the incorporation of performance, the artists featured in this volume have not only broadened the context and function of the handmade object itself, but also usefully blurred the distinctions between the genres of the performing and sculptural arts. The 19 artists featured in this book have either sought to animate the handmade object by using it as an instrument of performance; to extend its impact through public interventions; or to propose their works as residuals of spectacles or happenings. —Contemporary Arts Museum Houston
