PST, A to Z: 'Golden' and 'June' at Craft and Folk Art Museum
&Quot;What I'm aiming for now ... is to un-deaden the senses. I want to shock people into seeing and feeling and hearing." This quote, from Edith R. Wyle, founder of the Craft and Folk Art Museum, appears on the wall at the beginning of “Golden State of Craft,” a Pacific Standard Time survey of craft-based practices in California from 1960 to 1985. It sounds a lot like what artists and writers say about modern and contemporary art — that, as art critic Robert Hughes wrote, it’s all about “the shock of the new.”Indeed, the exhibition, which is roughly chronological and divided into small sections based on time period and movement, largely reveals how California craft practices in furniture, jewelry, pottery and textiles paralleled the influences and concerns of their fine art counterparts. It traces that tradition, rooted in the anti-industrial values of the Arts and Craft movement of the late 19th century, as it moved into the academy (following the postwar expansion of the California public university system), and engaged with a wide range of political and social ideas: environmentalism, multiculturalism, psychedelic and drug culture, postmodernism, and even industrial design.
