KNOW YOUR JUROR!: SNAG Exhibition in Print deadline for application is March 15th

Garth Clark is the juror for SNAG's upcoming Exhibition in Print: "Neo-Palatial: Objects of Virtue and Vice." He's a ceramics scholar and dealer. Below is a link to an audio recording of a lecture he gave titled “How Envy Killed the Crafts Movement: An Autopsy in Two Parts.” In a nutshell it's on the past 150 years of craft and the negative ramifications of its aspiration to be seen as fine art. The two part podcast can be downloaded at http://www.craftcouncil.org/conference09/?p=1329
