The Craft as Myth. Between Ideal and Real Life focuses on universal values and messages associated with craft in the past, present, and future. The exhibition exposes romanticized notions and ideologies and reveals the emotions and effects, ideas, and wishes the sphere of handcrafted produce evokes in the individual and society. This approach brings clarity and new momentum to many contemporary debates and the social dimension of design. The presentation comprises an array of objects, films, pictures, photographs, and artworks.

The exhibition was developed in cooperation with the Kunstgewerbemuseum der Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden and the vorarlberg museum Bregenz.
