Each April during the YC 2020 show, we like to break out two activities, value judgement cards and You be the Judge. Both activities can not only be done at home with an online exhibition, but also with any set of artworks anywhere! Try them out with the artwork and decorative pieces you have around your home. In this blog post, I’ll share how each activity is conducted. They are great screen-free ways to have fun with your quarantine crew and talk about something besides the news. READ WHOLE POST [+]

When I was first introduced to Butch Anthony’s Cabinet of Curiosities, titled Portrait of Johnny Parker as well as his other works, I was filled with just that: curiosity. I did not know much about the history of his Cabinet of Curiosities or where Anthony had gotten the idea to display art in such an unique way.

Though Butch Anthony’s pieces in Inside/Out and and Coulter Fussell’s quilts in The Raw Materials of Escape address the traditions of folk art, their approaches differ aesthetically and materially. Butch Anthony’s works incorporate taxidermy and animal bones, as well as other found materials. Similarly, Coulter Fussell’s quilts utilize found and donated fabrics which are then sewn together. Though quilting as a tradition is largely thought of as a purely practical pastime for women, Fussell alters that perception by making her pieces from unconventional materials that skew more towards establishing narrative and theme than simply being functional. Because of this, many of her works would work better as art pieces than as quilts to provide warmth. Here, the tradition of quilting and textile artwork is taken beyond craft and into the realm of fine art. The pieces gain meaning and visual interest beyond that which is garnered through even stitching or a soft exterior. Folk art becomes fine art. READ WHOLE POST [+]
