“Disrupting Craft: Renwick Invitational 2018”—a new exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery—is the museum’s latest project to reassess what craft is in a modern world and how the maker culture in America captures an ethos for civic engagement and community building. It features artists Tanya Aguiņiga, Sharif Bey, Dustin Farnsworth and Stephanie Syjuco. Working in a wide range of materials—including ceramics, glass, wood and fiber—these artists all share a dedication to social practice that they convey through their handmade artworks and a questioning of the conventional definitions of craft to disrupt the status quo. They proactively respond to contemporary issues by reaching beyond their studios to promote collective engagement. They weave elements of performance and installation art into their work to encourage challenging conversations within their communities.
The exhibition includes more than 50 objects showcasing a range of early and new works by each artist. “Disrupting Craft” will be on view Nov. 9 through May 5, 2019. The press kit for the exhibition is available online.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
