Stop Making Sense: Expanded Practices in Contemporary Craft gathers outstanding examples of crafted objects created by artists in the Detroit and metro area. Organized by Kim Harty, Chair of Craft & Material Studies at the College for Creative Studies, this exhibition is the first to closely examine contemporary craft in Detroit. As the title implies, each of these artists subverts our expectations of craft when they do things that stop making sense. They are fearless with materials, adventurous with design, engaged in experiential aspects of craft, and committed to expanding the scope of what is possible in their particular material discipline.
