Video Craft | Museum of Craft & Design | Daily Exhibition Admission

The Museum of Craft and Design (MCD) is the only museum in San Francisco devoted to craft and design. Founded in 2004, MCD showcases designers, makers and artists through an exciting and distinctive series of craft and design-focused exhibitions and public programs. As a non-collecting institution, the museum actively collaborates with artists, designers, museums and universities, as well as design venues and practitioners to create inspirational experiences in the world of craft and design for visitors of all ages.

<h4>Video Craft – On View Now at MCD! </h4>Video Craft explores the formal and technical properties that video, film, and early moving image technologies share with more traditional craft media like ceramics, textiles, and glass. Craft practices have long been cut out of new media discourse—a trend currently being reversed. Through themes of encoding, looping, and sampling, Video Craft takes terms usually associated with media art and expands them to examine practices by artists using a wider range of materials and techniques, many of which are rooted in craft history.Video Craft brings together nearly 20 artists at different stages of their careers, from early pioneers of video production to emerging digital natives. The exhibition hopes to illustrate an unlikely partnership between the heavily embodied practices of craft and the ephemeral nature of the screen.
