Modes of Making: Contemporary Studio Furniture
The Society of Arts & Crafts
Boston, MA
June 5 – August 14, 2010
Modes of Making presents the work of eleven U.S. based practitioners – artists, craftsmen, designers who are involved in the process of bringing furniture into existence. On exhibit will be finished objects of high merit – historically, conceptually, technically and otherwise. Modes of Making seeks to shed light on the numerous ways that furniture is born and to follow that through to an examination of how the furniture gets out into the world by selecting artists who work through a variety of systems; teaching, galleries, residencies, commissions, trade/craft shows, industrial production/distribution. Exhibiting artists are: William M. Bancroft Jr. (MA), Shaun Bullens (RI), Reagan Furqueron (ME), Paula Garbarino (MA), Michael Iannone (PA), Yuri Kobayashi (RI), Thomas Moser (ME), Bart Niswonger (MA), Sylvie Rosenthal (NC), Will Tracey (NY) and Stephen Yusko (OH).
