Shy Boy, She Devil, and Isis: The Art of Conceptual Craft. Selections from the Wornick Collection
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
September 10, 2007 - January 6, 2008

So just after I get my craft rant off my chest (two posts down), I get a press notice for this upcoming exhibition at the Boston MFA:

Shy Boy, She Devil, and Isis: The Art of Conceptual Craft. Selections from the Wornick Collection

The MFA is one of the most thoughtful big museums in the way that it collects and presents studio craft work. Shows in recent years include:

Beyond Basketry: Japanese Bamboo Art
The Quilts of Gee’s Bend
Contemporary Clay: Japanese Ceramics for the New Century
The Maker’s Hand: American Studio Furniture 1940-1990
Glass Today by American Studio Artists

Above, Michael Lucero’s she-devil, in ceramic.
