What is Craft Perception and Practice : A Canadian Discourse, Volume 1 about?

<p>The series of <i>Craft Perception and Practice</i> volumes gives recognition to the exciting new developments in contemporary craft practice and scholarship. This second volume brings together 22 essays and critical commentaries by 19 independent critics and curators, professional artists, art historians, and studio art instructors. Illustrated with 40 colour photographs of works by some of Canada’s finest craft artists, the texts represent the depth and range of critical thought about Canadian craft presented at symposiums and in exhibition catalogues and arts journals. Exploring the diversity of current craft practice and theory, as well as craft’s intrinsic connections between traditional and contemporary art, these multidisciplinary texts discuss the conceptual, social and cultural significance of work in craft media. The authors engage linguistic, dystopian, mimetic and cinematic theories, as well as the aspects of sensual and tacit knowledge, to create a nuanced discourse about making and appreciating craft-based sculptural and functional objects. This seminal series of books asserts craft&amp;#146s rightful place as a vital form of artistic expression. <i>Craft Perception
