Seminar
Crafting Modernism: Gender, Labor, Politics
Maxwell Boersma
Comments
This seminar investigates the multiple meanings and potentials of so-called craft and artisanal practices within modernism, focused on the period from the 1910s to the 1960s in Europe and North America. Shifting attention away from modernism’s historically privileged mediums (painting, sculpture, photography, film), our focus will instead concentrate on weaving, embroidery, textile design, ceramics, and related forms of making. We will seek to ask: What opportunities did these practices offer for modernist experimentation, and how did they challenge hierarchies of gender, race, culture, medium, and labor in the process? Taking a dual perspective, course readings will both address reciprocal interactions between craft practices and canonical moments of modernist art, as well as highlight previously excluded or marginalized objects and makers, particularly women and BIPOC practitioners. Seminar discussions will likewise unpack complex conditions of transculturation, imperialism, and settler colonialism. close
