Sloppy Craft: Postdisciplinarity and the Crafts brings together leading international artists and critics to explore the possibilities and limitations of the idea of »sloppy craft » – craft that is messy or unfinished looking in its execution or appearance, or both. The contributors address »sloppiness » in contemporary art and craft practices including painting, weaving, sewing and ceramics, consider the importance of traditional concepts of skill, and the implications of sloppiness for a new 21st century emphasis on inter- and postdisciplinarity, as well as for activist, performance, queer and Aboriginal practices.
In addition to critical essays, the book includes a »conversation » section in which contemporary artists and practitioners discuss challenges and opportunities of »sloppy craft » in their practice and teaching, and an afterword by Glenn Adamson.
