Crafts Council 40:40
******************************
To celebrate 40 years of collecting contemporary craft objects, the UK Crafts Council has developed an online exhibition using a selection of work from its archives. One of the selected pieces is a work made in 1997 entitled Cliché, which was acquired by the Crafts Council in 1998 following its inclusion in the exhibition NO PICNIC.
******************************
From the website: The exhibition features 40 works from the Collection, each selected by an invited commentator: These friends and colleagues of the Crafts Council have a personal and professional relationship with us and the Collection and consist of makers, curators, and critics, who have contributed a personal interpretation or response to their object of choice. The objects are showcased with supporting films, audio clips or previously unseen archive material.
******************************
To view all of the selected objects and for more information on the Crafts Council Collection and acquisition strategies please visit the 40:40 website.
