About
Enter any major art fair: The Armory, Frieze, Art Basel, Masterpiece, ZONA Maco, and you’ll be greeted with a hundred reflections. In booth after booth you’ll turn corners and find surfaces prepared for the art world’s engendered narcissism, countless selfies captured in rose tinted concave curves, exaggerated mirrors mirroring childhood fascinations with the fun fair. We could all do without these price-tagged ponds and the outright irony that non-absorbent surfaces absorb our vanity.
What else can an object reflect, other than a face? This is the question that Cluster Crafts, the latest addition to the Cluster Art Fair programme, asks.
In an age of increasing sociopolitical and environmental awareness our lifestyles are increasingly orientated towards sustainability, correspondingly, the material culture we surround ourselves with needs to reflect this. With new business models and methodologies societal inequalities can be fought against, gender discrimination and racial bias combatted through the creation of opportunity and subsequent access to education.
For Cluster, Craft is not a term relegated to our history. Beyond mere aesthetics it is an active component in making tomorrow, a reflection of who we are and who we want to be.
