‘Craft’ edited by Tanya Harrod is part of the acclaimed ‘Documents of Contemporary Art‘ series of anthologies. A secret history of craft told through lost and overlooked texts that illuminate our understanding of current art practice. This anthology offers an ethnography of craft, surveying its shape-shifting identities in the context of progressive art and design through writings by artists and makers as well as poetry, fiction, anthropology, and sociology. moreIt maps a secret history of craft through lost and overlooked texts that consider pedagogy, design, folk art, the factory, and new media in ways that illuminate our understanding of current art practice.
