Beth Lipman: Collective Elegy
Museum of Arts and Design, September 24, 2020 to November 14, 2021
Buy the Catalogue
For more than twenty years, Beth Lipman has transformed glass, metal, clay, video, and photographs into powerful statements addressing mortality, temporality, identity, and excess. The exhibition brings together a decade of work, and is the first major scholarly assessment of the artist’s career. In these turbulent times, Lipman’s art reminds us of where we came from, the subjectivity of history, and the need for harmony with the larger world.

Craft Front & Center: What can you do with glass?
Museum of Arts and Design, May 22 to November 14, 2021
Craft was once at the margins of the art world, but no longer. Today it is front and center in art galleries, museums, and fairs, widely recognized for its expressive potential and cultural significance. Assembled from the eclectic richness of MAD’s permanent collection, Craft Front & Center (curated by MAD's curatorial team: Elissa Auther, Samantha De Tillio, Barbara Paris Gifford, Alida Jekabson, Christian Larsen, and Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy) brings together more than 100 iconic and lesser-known works to highlight key thematic touchpoints in craft’s history that have brought us to this moment. Challenging traditional thinking of craft as separate from fine art, the exhibition reveals the field's deep engagement in art’s major movements, such as abstract expressionism, pop art, and post modernism, while also launching its own revolutions, particularly the elevation of women and people of color as significant artists.

Homosilica: Glass is Gay
Live performance by Grace Whiteside to capstone the 2021 program series "Glass in Flux," Museum of Arts and Design, December 16, 2021
An interdisciplinary artist, Grace Whiteside will present their latest project, Homosilica, an experimental theatre piece investigating the fluidity of glass through the lens of queer identity. Using footage of a hot-glass performance that references the popular TV series How It’s Made alongside an on-stage narration in the style of BBC broadcaster David Attenborough, Homosilica will showcase the nonbinary properties of glass and its capacity to represent the gender spectrum. In this coming-out story, pseudo-science, naturalistic documentary, and hot glass become tools for satire and absurdity, taking the audience on a journey of self-questioning and humorous discovery.
Curated and hosted by Samantha De Tillio, "Glass in Flux" explores interdisciplinary practices in contemporary glass with a focus on performance, video, and the ephemeral.

Goblets from MAD's Collection
Museum of Arts and Design, ongoing
MAD’s collection of works in glass includes a large number of goblets. The breadth of examples illustrates the capacity of this vessel form to showcase an artist’s skill, compositional ingenuity, and wit. The goblet—an important form in Venice—became a useful teaching tool in the United States. The goblet-making tradition subsequently established itself as a fixture in glass education, providing a form through which numerous complex glass techniques--such as the use of long, thin rods of glass, called canes, to create intricate patterns, as well as flameworking, casting, and carving--could be perfected.

Museum of Arts and Design, January 25 to August 12, 2018
Derrick Adams: Sanctuary (guest curated by Dexter Wimberly, Executive Director of Aljira, Newark, NJ with institutional support by MAD's Assistant Curator Samantha De Tillio) is an exhibition of large-scale sculpture, and mixed-media collage and assemblage on wood panels that reimagine safe destinations for the black American traveler during the mid-twentieth century. The body of work was inspired by The Negro Motorist Green Book, an annual guidebook for black American road-trippers published by New York postal worker Victor Hugo Green from 1936 to 1966, during the Jim Crow era in America.

Judith Leiber: Crafting a New York Story
Museum of Arts and Design, April 4 to August 6, 2017

Crochet Coral Reef: TOXIC SEAS
by Margaret and Christine Wertheim and the Institute For Figuring
Museum of Arts and Design, September 15, 2016 to January 22, 2017
Mixing crocheted yarn with plastic trash, the work fuses mathematics, marine biology, feminist art practices, and craft to produce large-scale coralline landscapes, both beautiful and blighted. At once figurative, collaborative, worldly, and dispersed, the “Crochet Coral Reef” offers a tender response to the dual calamities facing marine life: climate change and plastic trash. Crochet Coral Reef: TOXIC SEAS, a unique presentation that focuses on climate change and ocean health.

Japanese Kōgei | Future Forward
Museum of Arts and Design, October 20, 2015 to February 7, 2016
Kōgei is a genre of traditional art that may be roughly translated as "artisan crafts"—a means of highly skilled artistic expression, both in form and decoration, that is associated with specific regions and peoples in Japan. The subject is steeped in tradition and rooted in upholding conventional cultural ideals and aesthetics through the mastery of specialized techniques and materials.
The exhibition was curated by Yūji Akimoto, former director of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, and organized at the Museum of Arts and Design by former Senior Curator Ronald T. Labaco and Samantha De Tillio.
