Craft in Dialogue: Six Views on a Practice in Change Love Jönsson (ed.)

IASPIS, 2005. ISBN: 91-975609-0-1 (hardback)

This book wants to record a process in dialog and change and will bring to light crucial articulations, new ways of doing things, fresh insights. The collection of written and photographed work presented in Craft in Dialogue provides tantalizing glimpses, and lives up to some aspects of these aspirations.

Comprising six essays and accompanied by color illustrations, Craft in Dialogue is written by contributors who span the Swedish critical and artistic world. In his introduction, Jönsson articulates the purpose of the publication: to present a "selection of potential viewpoints for discussions of contemporary crafts" (p. 7). The implication is that the reader will gain a sense of craft as discursively constituted, something that is dynamic, unexpected and innovative. The stated intent of Craft in Dialogue is to place the discussion and examples firmly within the contemporary Swedish context by exploring the crosscurrents of ideas that have defined the debate around craft internationally, specifically in relation to this national arena and within a wider publicly funded (Swedish Visual Arts Funds) research project whose goal is to instigate international exchange.

En bog med fotografier og illustrationer på forsiden, der viser hænder, som holder farvet papir skåret ud i geometriske former, der danner maskelignende figurer. Bogen har titlen 'CRAFT IN DIALOGUE. SIX VIEWS ON A PRACTICE IN CHANGE', hvilket tyder på, at det er en bog om håndværk.
