New York’s Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) current exhibition is clearly something that would resonate with us here at Shwood. Titled “Against the Grain“, the exhibition features 57 artists from around the world  who use art as their medium and  utilize everything from the simplest of hand tools to the most advanced technology.

From MAD’s website:

The exhibition emphasizes the way artists, designers, and craftspeople have incorporated postmodernist approaches and strategies into woodworking—deconstructing vessel shapes, playing on the relationship between function and form, and utilizing woodturning and furniture techniques in the creation of sculpture and demonstrating exciting possibilities through the use of technology.

If you’re in New York, be sure to go check out the exhibition. For everybody else, you can watch an introductory video and look through more photos over at MAD’s website.
