Despite the great name, this show at the newly-named Museum of Arts & Design (MAD is in NYC at 40 W. 53rd) did not get a great write-up in the NYTimes. The main criticism being that it relies upon out-of-date references to radical use of craft and ignores some contemporary big names (like Andrea Zittel who lives in Joshua Tree). Still, if I were in NYC, I’d go see this show. It’s up until June 17, 2007.

i’ve been looking at this woman’s (Miriam Schaer’s) site for a book on the history of lingerie that we’re putting out in the spring. (she did the cover illustration.) you might find it interesting, as she works a lot with “traditional” craft: http://www.neoimages.net/artistportfolio.aspx?pid=1693
