The Craft Australia Research Centre is seeking contributions for 2009 on the theme – Cross cultural exchanges in craft and design. We invite papers that interrogate cross-cultural practices, communicate the breadth of activity across cultural exchanges, and establish a dialogue between practice and policy for a rich and sustainable culture. We particularly welcome articles from authors who are involved in inter or trans-disciplinary research as it relates to the broad fields of contemporary craft and design practice.
Areas for consideration in this theme include:
* Tourism and museums as a driver for innovative cross cultural practice

* Innovation for social and cultural sustainability
* The impact of government policies on cultural sustainability
* Mentoring between communities
* The internet and the global market for Indigenous craft and design

Both Brian and Dawn make fantastic sculptural works individually (Brian also currently has a show up at the Alberta Craft Council until the 20th) as well as run a business, Voyager Art and Tile, together in one of the most fantastic studios I’ve seen.

If you can go see this show in person please do, if not take a few minutes to check out the latest body of work by Pru Morrison online. I just can’t get enough of her surfaces and imagery. Pru has such a fantastic sense of humor and her work is layered in personality, wit and politics. You really have to see them in person to truely appreciate them fully. But I guess all great art is like that. Check out her blog for more images and writing.
