Description
Featuring nearly 90 installations, sculptures, furniture and objects, Against the Grain: Wood in Contemporary Art, Craft and Design explored the most cutting-edge conceptual, current and technical trends in woodworking by artists and designers including: Sarah Oppenheimer, Martin Puryear, Marc Andre Robinson, Alison Elizabeth Tayor, Ai Weiwei, Maartin Baas, Sebastian Errazuriz, Mark Moskovitz and Ursula von Rydingsvard. The exhibition emphasized the way artists, designers and craftspeople have incorporated post-modernist approaches and strategies into woodworking ñ deconstructing vessel shapes, playing on the relationship between function and form, and utilizing woodturning and furniture techniques in the creation of sculpture. Opening night curator Lowery Stokes Sims speaks about her experience.
