Event Description:
The Center for Craft, Creativity & Design (CCCD) is pleased to announce the second annual Windgate Research and Collections Curator Lecture. In their new book, Art in the Making: Artists and their Materials from the Studio to Crowdsourcing, Julia Bryan-Wilson and Glenn Adamson make a series of provocative arguments about contemporary art practice. Noting the longstanding aversion of artists and their representatives to transparent discussion of production, they argue for the importance of process in critical interpretation. In this talk, they will highlight one of the most important, yet least discussed aspects in the making of contemporary art: its economic footprint. A reception will follow the talk at 7:30 pm, including a book signing by Malaprop's. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. $3-5 suggested donation. About the book: Art in the Making: Artists and their Materials from the Studio to Crowdsourcing (Thames and Hudson, 2016) In this wide-ranging exploration of methods and media in art since the 1950s Glenn Adamson and Julia Bryan-Wilson take the reader behind the scenes of the studio, the factory, and other sites where art is created. They show how the materials and processes used by artists are vital to considerations of authorship, and to understanding the economic and social contexts from which art emerges. Special programming held in conjunction with 'The Future of Fixing', on view at CCCD's Benchspace Gallery & Workshop, September 2, 2016 - January 7, 2017. 'The Future of Fixing' was originally created by From-Now-On and adapted and curated by Marilyn Zapf of The Center for Craft, Creativity & Design under a Creative Commons license CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. This project was supported by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
