[email protected] haystack-mtn.org We celebrated the opening of “In the Vanguard: Haystack Mountain School of FOUNDER Crafts 1950-1969,” the first exhibition of its kind to provide an overview of the Mary B. Bishop (1885–1972) founding years and impact of the school. Organized by the Portland Museum of FOUNDING DIRECTOR Art, the exhibition had record attendance and garnered critical praise from The Francis S. Merritt (1913–2000) Boston Globe, The Portland Press Herald, The Washington Post, and others. For the third consecutive year we exceeded historic fundraising records and BOARD OF TRUSTEES recently announced the largest single gift in the history of the school, to Jack Lenor Larsen Honorary Chair establish a permanently restricted endowment for campus preservation. Through new and expanded partnerships that provided direct support to those Susan Haas Bralove President who have been historically underrepresented in the field, we continued our Ayumi Horie commitment to become a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization.

Adrienne’s Tale © 2011. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without permission from the Southwest School of Art. ISBN number 0-9742914-4-7 SONYA CLARK Heritage Pearls Foreword It is an honor to present Sonya Clark’s solo exhibition at the Southwest School of Art. Her works, charged with meaning and message, are made even more powerful by the evocative materials and physical processes she employs. Trained in the fiber arts, Clark today weaves together not threads but ideas and symbols in order to produce elegant yet demanding works of art. The visceral but quotidian properties of her works, as well as their exquisite execution, force our attention, compelling the viewer to grapple with their sweeping implications. To explore the poignancy and potency of lineage and the biases of history through works of art requires unique cognitive and perceptive skills. We are grateful to Sonya Clark for sharing those skills with us and also to Rick Snyderman of Snyderman Gallery in Philadelphia, our partner in this exhibition, and to essayists, Ashley Kistler of Richmond, Virginia and Namita Gupta Wiggers of Portland, Oregon. PAULA OWEN President, Southwest School of Art 3 Artist in her studio Acknowledgements Artist Statement Recently I gained a new ancestor.

MATERIAL FIX Alison Ferris “I worry that the information age is making us very good at symbolization at the expense of bringing us into contact with that which we do not know and for which we have no categories.”1 —Laura U. Marks In recent years, fiber art has eluded characterization as it has infiltrated traditional art practices and expanded into installation and performance. As fiber-based art has grown more mainstream, however, its material-based, multidisciplinary practice risks being compromised, overlooked, or assimilated by the contemporary art world. Material Fix is a contemplation of fiber’s unique material specificity and the ways a range of artists join process with current theoretical and aesthetic concerns. The exhibition examines the manner in which the artists in Material Fix insist on the materiality of their work, Jen Bervin, The Dickinson Fascicles: The Composite Marks of Fascicle questioning the detached sense of vision associated 28, 2006; cotton and silk on cotton and muslin; 72 x 96 in.

Fred Woell FROM 1969 TO TODAY: 50 YEARS OF CRAFT EVOLUTION (January 2020) form & concept is thrilled to present OBJECTS: REDUX—50 Years of Craft Evolution, featuring over 70 pieces by seminal historical and contemporary craft artists, including J. Fred Woell, Sonya Clark, Ken Cory, Raven Halfmoon, Nicki Green, Jennifer Ling Datchuk and Kat Cole, among others. Ranging from textile, jewelry, metal, and enamel to wood, ceramics and glass, the exhibition positions work from the original 1969 OBJECTS: USA show alongside innovative craft objects and wearables by contemporary makers. In 1969, the Smithsonian American Art Museum debuted OBJECTS: USA, a sprawling exhibition featuring 308 craft artists and over 500 objects. The show would travel the United States and Europe, vaulting craft into the contemporary art milieu and forever changing the way we view material culture. Fifty years later, this tribute exhibition incorporates work by artists in the original display alongside historic and contemporary makers who expand upon and complicate the conversation. If OBJECTS: USA first established the field of craft as a vital component of the fine art world conversation, OBJECTS: REDUX demonstrates not only modern craft artists’ keen sense and appreciation of their predecesors, but also the field’s ongoing spirit of boundary-defying inventiveness and material resourcefulness. Curator William Dunn writes, “It’s wonderful to be a part of this show’s continued legacy.
