Kevin Perkins “Cape Barren Goose cabinet”
Whether or not you’re approaching winter or dancing into summer in your part of the world, online exhibitions can give you a tour of wonders and inspiration whatever the weather, no matter if you’re in Cleveland, Cairns or Cannes, and with no admission fee.
Material Culture is an exhibition of craft/art/design at the National Gallery of Australia which is supported by an excellent web presence.
Material culture gathers from the planned as much as from the spontaneous, the banal as much as the enlightened, the local and the global. It can translate into poetry or dross, the mawkish or the transcendent and its progress is as much about timing as it is about technical or artistic achievement.
Anne Dybka “The shoal”
Each of the three sections, Structure, Narrative and Transformation, contains text and illuminating images of various forms of craft/art. Both images used here come from the Narrative section.
