No matter the material, thread, or substance used, each of the rugs in "RugLife" weaves thoughtful discourse about many issues and concerns—on a global and personal scale. Dive deeper into the discourse and cultural issues addressed in "RugLife" during an artist panel at the Museum of Craft and Design.
"RugLife" an original exhibition, curated by Ginger Gregg Duggan and Judith Hoos Fox of c2-curatorsquared, will be on view at the Museum of Craft and Design during SF Art Week. "RugLife" features the work of 14 contemporary artists from around the world who are using the humble rug as a medium for exploration of issues that define our culture. With a focus on the rich history of rug making, which varies incredibly from region to region, "RugLife" will examine this decorative object turned art object in its contemporary form, as it is manipulated, reinterpreted, and even made new, exploring timely and important themes such as religion, technology, environment, justice, identity, and housing.
Additionally, during SF Art Week, MCD will host an artist conversation related to the exhibition to provide further discussion and investigation into related themes.
