N2 - This is the second of two Special Issues for the Journal of Modern Craft, which examine craft from the perspective of exhibition histories, contexts and practices. Issue 1, Exhibiting Making: Gesture, Skill and Process (August 2022) explores how gesture, skill and process can be visualized and made material in the exhibition space. Issue 2, Disrupting Boundaries: The Politics of Craft Exhibitions (January 2023) explores how the display of craft can shape, support and contest a variety of political positions. While the first issue centered on exhibitions in Europe, with case studies drawn from England, France and Portugal, the second issue expands the geographical scope to include the Philippines, Italy, Cuba, the United States, and Paraguay. Our aim is to demonstrate the conceptual and methodological potential of exhibition history as a framework for the study of craft, and vice versa. The two Special Issues build on Jones and Jorge's session ‘Exhibiting Craft: Histories, Contexts and Practices’ at the Association for Art History’s 2021 Annual Conference.
