Fine craft demands of its maker that they are the artist, the designer, the craftsman and the technician. Where then, does such hand-crafted work live within a culture that celebrates convenience coming from ‘fast’ design and ‘fast’ making. A culture where traditional craft knowledge and skills have been marginalized by mass production and mass consumption? As curator and a maker, Gerber wants to show not only spectacular examples of contemporary surface and textile design but to highlight the often discounted aspect – the value added to fine craft by the slower aspects of fine craft making.

What are the social, cultural, political, historical, traditional, conceptual and personal dimensions that define place? How do these questions help artists to understand and explore the context in which they locate their research and work? The Placemaking Residency allows participants to consider these questions and more in a community studio environment, supported by an exciting mix of visiting artists and scholars. Make a place for your practice, for your voice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5627d211e4b0a2eeff0328b1/1605033674359-VYWR567SXLXWIHRPFUIK/elysebouvier-clothincontext-7049.jpg WORKSHOPS & EVENTS - Cloth in Context Alberta Craft Discovery Gallery - Edmonton November 7 - December 24, 2020 I’m honoured to be a part of this exhibition!
