Join ArtTable NY for an early morning curatorial walkthrough of Making Knowing: Craft in Art, 1950–2019 with Jennie Goldstein, assistant curator, Whitney Museum, and co-curator of this exhibition.

Making Knowing: Craft in Art, 1950–2019 foregrounds how visual artists have explored the materials, methods, and strategies of craft over the past seven decades. Some expand techniques with long histories, such as weaving, sewing, or pottery, while others experiment with textiles, thread, clay, beads, and glass, among other mediums. The traces of the artists’ hands-on engagement with their materials invite viewers to imagine how it might feel to make each work. For more information see here.

Jennie Goldstein is an Assistant Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Most recently she co-curated Making Knowing: Craft in Art, 1950–2019, which is on view until early 2021. Other exhibitions include Christine Sun Kim: Too Much Future (2018) and An Incomplete History of Protest: Selections from the Whitney Museum, 1940 – 2017 (2017-2018).

Please meet in the Whitney’s Lobby at 8:50 AM.

Thank you to ArtTable member, Jennie Goldstein.
