Medium Resistance at Crane Arts
Philagrafika 2010
March 3-April 3, 2010
Philadelphia
Medium Resistance presents contemporary works of craft and print that resist old-fashioned distinctions between high art and artisanship. Informed by historical avant-garde practices such as those of the Productivists, Black Mountain College and, more recently, the Interventionists, these provocative works reassess the mediums expressive, communicative, and material possibilities beyond known aesthetic, social, and political boundaries. Vessels and posters, digital images and books, to name just a few examples, straddle the divisions between art, craft, and mass production, strategically exploring each format s relative autonomy and usefulness, its potential for participation and collaboration, communication and dissemination, and aesthetic, social, and technical labor.
