‘What’s In A Name?’ – FREE
17 September 2003 / 18:00 - 20:00We look at art, we wear art, put flowers in art – or is it craft? Does it matter what it’s called? Do craftspeople want to be called artists? Is there a clearly defined moment when craft becomes art? Can a useful object be called art? Textiles can be worn or hung on the wall – what’s that called? When does a wooden bench become art (A: When it’s made by Jim Partridge).
The boundaries are blurred; the beat goes on…. Join our panel of leading craftspeople and artists at Manchester Craft & Design Centre to debate these weighty matters.
