Norwegian Crafts and arnoldsche Art Publishers are proud to present a box set of the series Documents on Contemporary Crafts, nos.1-5.

The series offers critical reflection on contemporary crafts, seeking to stimulate critical discourse within the field of crafts.

With the first five volumes of Documents on Contemporary Crafts, Norwegian Crafts has taken a closer look at some of the core phenomena that act as building blocks for the contemporary craft world today:

  • education / learning / skills (Museum for Skills)
  • materiality / making / technology (Materiality Matters)
  • curating / exhibition making (Crafting Exhibitions)
  • private, personal and museal collecting (On Collecting)
  • aesthetics / philosophy / epistemology (Material Perceptions)

To celebrate the launch of the box set we have invited three experts within the contemporary crafts field to take part in a panel conversation. Taking the books as starting point, the subject of the conversation, will be around topics like skills, exhibition making, collecting, and how we perceive or relate to craft as viewers.

Participants

Introduction: Hege Henriksen
Panel: Liesbeth den Besten (NL), Jorunn Veiteberg (NO), Marianne Zamecznik (NO)
