Riassunto:

In a response to the sleek forms and perfect angles of late-1990s objects, many of today's artists are returning to handmade work: hand lettering, hand drawing, hand sewing. From books to pillows to T-shirts to toys, their work defines an alternate view of contemporary design. By Hand features an international collection of the most noteworthy artists working by hand and shows their work in detailed photography and insightful texts. Here detail is emphasized over perfection and the personality of the artist is made a key element of the finished product. From Kiki Smith's lovingly etched birds to dynamo-ville's one-of-a-kind puppets to Barb Hunt's knitted land mines to Evil Twin's hand-bound publications, today's art revels in the care and consideration of craft.

Informazioni sull?autore: Formerly from New York City, Shu Hung and Joe Magliaro are Bejing-based photographers and writers. They produce work for their studio, Es Gibt, whose output includes clothing design, furniture design, and limited-edition handmade products.
