This is a unique project that features industrial designer Stephen Burks’s ongoing exploration of the global economy of artisanal craft. Inspired by Burks’s collaboration with Senegalese basket weavers based in New York and Dakar, as well as projects with artisans in South Africa, Peru and India, Man Made starts with the traditional basket-weaving process as its core concept. This exhibition is presented by Wedge Curatorial Projects in conjunction with the Studio Museum in Harlem.
