| Description of Exhibition/Event | This article is in the form of a curatorial essay for the visual art exhibition titled 'Critical Craftings: Unleashed 2011' at Artisan Gallery in Brisbane. This essay aims exploring the role of 'craft' in contemporary emerging art and design in Queensland. The essay uses an implied approach in subverting traditional associations craft as a hobby by putting forward the argument that contemporary craft is conceptual and that handmade works that are skill focussed can be highly conceptual. The findings for this argument was also noted in the interweaving of contemporary art fields whereby the exhibited works demonstrated a blurring of visual art, craft and design. In exploring critical rigour in contemporary well-crafted art works, this essay features seven leading emerging artists across Queensland universities as case studies for this argument: Sophie Loxley; Sophie Bottomley; Chris Mills-Kelly, Sally Colpoys, Michelle Knowles, Linda Clark and Amy Cochrane. |
