Tomorrow, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York launches Craft Front & Center, a multiyear, rotating installation of historic and contemporary works from its permanent collection that highlight the impact of craft from the golden age of the American Craft Movement to today. To kick things off, over 60 works in an array of media are organized into themes including material transformation, dismantling hierarchies, contemplation, identity, and sustainability—demonstrating craft’s role in social commentary and in expanding definitions of art. The debut includes works by Eleanor Lakelin, Tiff Massey, Joo Hyung Park, and Darren Appiagyei, among many others. The show will be updated periodically to further broaden access to the Museum’s remarkable permanent collection. Ongoing.
