finding the shape of the overlap

Abstract

The exhibition finding the shape of the overlap and its documents present a methodology to eliminate binaries between fine art and craft, stereotypes of masculine and feminine, and distinctions between excessive and necessary. This methodology is formed through a new feminist framework in which to view the history of abstract sculpture through the combination of Material Engagement Theory and Queer Phenomenology, which emphasizes the body as a point of reference, and alternative ways of knowing and learning.
