On Sunday, March 21, the Gallery presents “Craft Art: Looking Back, Looking Forward,” a panel discussion with Castle and Higby; three other featured artists, Robin Cass, Linda Sikora and Leonard Urso; Paul J. Smith, director emeritus of the American Craft Museum; and moderator Suzanne Ramljak, editor of Metalsmith magazine. The program begins at 2:30 pm in the auditorium and is included in Gallery admission. A book signing follows. “New York City may be the cultural center of the state, but it was in the small towns of western New York that a craft movement took root, producing some of the most important schools and artists in the nation-wide studio craft movement,” says Rochester native Barbara Lovenheim, who initiated the book and edited it with Smith and Ramljak. Printing of Breaking Ground was underwritten by Xerox Corporation. Editorial and design were underwritten by the BIL Charitable Trust; the Gallery’s Mabel Fenner Lyon Fund provided additional support. “To bring the vibrant artwork to life we used our flagship digital color production system, the Xerox iGen4™ press, to produce more than 2,000 books. The final product is amazing,” said John Conley, vice president, Publishing Graphic Communications, Xerox Corporation. “The opportunity to print Breaking Ground demonstrates Xerox’s long-term commitment to support the local community, the fine arts and the publishing business.” “We are delighted to have been a partner in this significant venture,” says MAG director Grant Holcomb. “Western New York has long played a pivotal role in the development of American craft art and design. As this book points out, we continue to be enchanted and enriched by some of America’s leading artists.” Featured artists Furniture: Andy Buck, John Eric Byers, Wendell Castle, John Dodd, Bill Keyser, Richard Scott Newman, Rich Tannen Metal / Jewelry: Juan Carlos Caballero-Perez, Tom Markusen, Albert Paley, Leonard Urso Glass: Robin Cass, Stephen Dee Edwards, Concetta Mason, Jackie Pancari, Angus Powers, Michael Rogers, Michael Taylor Clay: Anne Currier, Val Cushing, Andrea Gill, John Gill, Wayne Higby, Rick Hirsch, Nancy Jurs, Walter McConnell, Stephen Merritt, Linda Sikora, Bill Stewart The rise of craft art in western New York In the early 1900s western New York became a hub of the Arts and Craft movement with the founding of the Roycroft community in East Aurora, Gustav Stickley’s furniture workshops in Syracuse, and Steuben Glass in Corning. It was more… Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester A Century of Craft in Western New York page 2 also during this period that Charles Fergus Binns developed the New York School of Clay-Working and Ceramics at Alfred University, which quickly became the leader in its field. In 1950 the School for American Craftsmen (now the School for American Crafts) moved to the Rochester Institute of Technology, further establishing the area as a nexus of craft activity. Founded by Aileen Osborn Webb, a major patron of the craft movement, SAC became renowned for its comprehensive programs and its outstanding faculty. Western New York still abounds with educational programs and professional artists who are breaking ground in the craft media, making the area a vital community for the arts.

  • At Long Last Love Press Release
    At Long Last Love: Fiber Sculpture Gets Its Due October 2014 It looks as if 2014 will be the year that contemporary fiber art finally gets the recognition and respect it deserves. For us, it kicked off at the Whitney Biennial in May which gave pride of place to Sheila Hicks’ massive cascade, Pillar of Inquiry/Supple Column. Last month saw the opening of the influential Thread Lines, at The Drawing Center in New York featuring work by 16 artists who sew, stitch and weave. Now at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the development of ab- straction and dimensionality in fiber art from the mid-twentieth centu- ry through to the present is examined in Fiber: Sculpture 1960–present from October 1st through January 4, 2015. The exhibition features 50 works by 34 artists, who crisscross generations, nationalities, processes and aesthetics. It is accompanied by an attractive companion volume, Fiber: Sculpture 1960-present available at browngrotta.com. There are some standout works in the exhibition — we were thrilled Fiber: Sculpture 1960 — present opening photo by Tom Grotta to see Naomi Kobayashi’s Ito wa Ito (1980) and Elsi Giauque’s Spatial Element (1989), on loan from European museums, in person after ad- miring them in photographs. Anne Wilson’s Blonde is exceptional and Ritzi Jacobi and Françoise Grossen are represented by strong works, too, White Exotica (1978, created with Peter Jacobi) and Inchworm, respectively. Fiber: Sculpture 1960–present aims to create a sculp- tural dialogue, an art dialogue — not one about craft, ICA Mannion Family Senior Curator Jenelle Porter explained in an opening-night conversation with Glenn Adamson, Director, Museum of Arts and Design.

TOPIC – CRITICAL HISTORIES OF CRAFT AND ART HISTORY This course explores how history of art survey texts represent and tell us about craft—what do they have to say about craft, and how do they say it? We are equally interested in where and how these art history survey texts neglect craft. What is missing when histories of art do not include craft? Additionally, we want to think about history of craft texts. Should they include the same agents and situations we find in histories of art, such as famous makers and collectors, the rich and the royal, politics at the highest level, and economics, power, and desire? Also, is it possible to trace influence in craft as we expect to find it discussed in histories of art? What would influence explain about craft? Should a history of craft include features we don’t expect to find in histories of art? Overall, what scholarship and methods make a history of craft? These types of questions ask us to notice standards and expectations shaping knowledge in academic fields, such as art history and the history of craft.

  • The Forming of the Metal Arts Guild, San Francisco (1929-1964)
    Metal Rising: The Forming of the Metal Arts Guild, San Francisco (1929-1964) Jennifer Shaifer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master’s of Arts in the History of Decorative Arts. The Smithsonian Associates and Corcoran College of Art + Design 2011 © 2011 Jennifer Shaifer All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is a project I hold dear to my heart. A milestone in my life in which I will never forget. My research started as a journey across the United States to tell a story about the formation of the Metal Arts Guild, but has ended with a discovery about the strength of the human spirit. I was not fortunate to meet many of the founding members of the Metal Arts Guild, but my research into the lives and careers of Margaret De Patta, Irena Brynner, and Peter Macchiarini has provided me with invaluable inspiration. Despite the adversity these artists faced, their strength still reverberates through the trails of history they left behind for an emerging scholar like me. Throughout this project, I have received so much support. I would like to thank Heidi Nasstrom Evans, my thesis advisor, for her encouragement and patience during the thesis writing process. It was during her Spring 2007 class on modernism, that I was introduced to a whole new world of art history. I also want to thank Cynthia Williams and Peggy Newman for their constant source of support. A huge thank you to Alison Antleman and Rebecca Deans for giving me access to MAG’s archives and allowing me to tell their organization’s story.
