| Summary: | This book investigates the ways that craft and design objects were collected, displayed and interpreted throughout the second half of the twentieth century and in recent years. The case studies discussed in this volume explain the notion the neutral display space had worked with, challenged, distorted or assisted in conveying the ideas of the exhibitions in question. In various ways the essays included in this volume analyze and investigate strategies to facilitate interaction amongst craft and design objects, their audiences, exhibiting bodies and the makers. Using both historical examples from the middle of the twentieth century and contemporary trends, the authors create a dialogue that investigates the different uses and challenges to the White Cube paradigm of space organization. |
