Gender Bend

"'Gender Bend: Women in Wood, Men at the Loom' affords Fuller Craft Museum the opportunity to illustrate the changing technical, conceptual, and narrative dynamics of contemporary craft through the lenses of wood and fiber. As an institution chronicling the past 75 years of development in media, Fuller Craft Museum is a fitting venue for the exhibition's reverence for tradition and innovation in the actions of the loom and the lathe. 'Gender Bend' successfully challenges the presuppositions about art, craft, utility, and the role of certain individuals for certain tasks -- examinations common in the scholarly writings of decorative arts historians."--Unpaged, Foreword
