Summary
Sociologist Richard Sennett estimated at 10 000 the number of hours required to properly learn a handicraft. With works by two dozen artists, the exhibition presents various attitudes towards handicraft art forms and considers the question of what significance is assigned to craftsmanship in contemporary art. The position of handicraft has been fundamentally transformed in recent decades. Since the 1960s, with the questioning of the whole classical art system and the liberation of art from museums, a development began that shifted the focus of attention more and more away from the traditional fields of art and their techniques. Recently, however, a strong interest has been felt in subjects that are closely associated with the term handicraft. 0Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Thurgau, Karthause Ittingen, Switzerland (13.5.-30.9.2012). 00.
