Against the Grain: Wood in Contemporary Art, Craft, and Design
(1 Sep 2012 - 27 Jan 2013)
 This exhibition examines woodworking in contemporary art and engages aspects of art, craft, and design that have been characterized as "performative" and critique the traditional art/craft/design divide.  In Against the Grain, the versatile medium of wood is used to address this issue, exploring postmodern tendencies including mimicry, assemblage, virtuosity, and whimsy (with a serious purpose), as well as environmental issues associated with woodworking.
