DANGEROUS LIAISONS: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ART &
CRAFT
A one-day conference at the University of Hertfordshire
Friday 16
April 1999
This conference will build on recent ongoing dialogue
surrounding the
crafts to explore in particular the interface between art and
craft. Are
art and craft mutually informative collaborators or are they
hostile
players concerned with distinction? Does a boundary exist between art
and
craft and if so, is rigidly or loosely conceived? Some makers would
argue
that such definitions do not concern them, and yet these
distinctions
determine which galleries, magazines and journals, educational
institutions
and audiences works may
access.
