 The Thinking BodyThe Thinking Body is an exhibition of works produced over the last thirty years by contemporary American and European artists working in a variety of diverse media.The exhibition presents a new examination of the relationship of the body's perceptual relationship to jewelry, functional objects and constructed spaces, and will relate the work of practitioners in the field to that of contemporary artists exploring the conceptual range of forms and objects related to metalsmithing. The exhibition reflects on the artists' interpretations of function, use, display, and adornment of both familiar and luxury objects while considering their relationship to the body, challenging our response and understanding about objects. The Thinking Body examines how socially constructed ideas about objects can shift and expand in response to re-placement, re-thinking, and re-structuring. event (ended) current design events more The Thinking Body design directory San Francisco Museum of Craft and Design > Craft Design Museums added by Levent OZLER |
