Objects and Meaning: New Perspectives on Art and Craft





Objects and Meaning expands upon a national conversation questioning how various academic disciplines and cultural institutions approach and assign meaning to artist-made objects in postmodern North America. Although most of the discourse since the mid 20th century revolved around the split between art and craft, the contributors to this collection of essays take a broader view, examining the historical, cultural, and theoretical perspectives that defined the parameters of that conversation. Their focus is on issues concerning works that appeared to _cross over_ from mainstream art to an amorphous and pluralistic aesthetic milieu that has yet to be defined.
