Image/Craft is a new exhibition from IC:Innovative Craft, being developed jointly with the National Museums of Scotland exploring the relationship between craft and photography. The curators have looked at contemporary image archives at the Crafts Council, the V&A, contemporary makers’ and contemporary photographers’ studios to identify a collection of images which are expressive, in different ways, of contemporary approaches to making and imaging objects; makers and making. From a longlist of 80 plus images, 25 have been selected for the show with the help of a selection panel drawn from making, photographic, curatorial and academic backgrounds.
The direct nature of this exhibition is not something that has been explored before, making this a unique opportunity to see for yourself the relationship between documenting and production, photography and art, image and craft.
Featured artists and photographers include:
Sussie Ahlburg, Andrea Barghi, Helene Binet, Tord Boontje, Stephen Brayne, Maisie Broadhead, Neil Brownsword, Chien Wei Chang, Oliver Eglin, Philip Eglin, Linda Florence, Simone ten Hompel, Stephen Jones, Joanna Kane, Graham Lees, Justine, Angela Moore, Deirdre Nelson, Adam Paxon, Phil Sayer, Jeanette Sendler, Steve Speller, David Swift, Shannon Tofts, Clare Twomey, Edmund de Waal
