Museum of Contemporary Craft regularly invites artists and cultural professionals to interpret its collection in new and interesting ways. In his curatorial debut in a museum environment, Garth Johnson's exhibition will be part performance and part exhibition, drawn together through extended time spent “living” with and writing about objects from the collection that epitomize different historical moments.
