In these MAD Moments, chief curator Elissa Auther is joined by the Museum’s curatorial staff—Barbara Paris Gifford, Samantha De Tillio, Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy, Christian Larsen, and Alida Jakabsen—to discuss Craft Front & Center, a new exhibition opening to the public on May 22. Craft Front & Center focuses on MAD’s diverse permanent collection and affirms the centrality of craft in the contemporary art world. Hear from the curators on the process of organizing this monumental undertaking together and get an insider’s take on the selections they made. Ask all your questions during our interactive Q and A.
