A Marriage of Craft and Design:
The Work of Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman
Curated by Jo Lauria and Dale Carolyn Gluckman
Jan. 23, 2011 - May 8 2011
Artist-designers Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman brought beautiful and affordable home accessories to a rapidly expanding post-World War II California population. Ranging from tapestries and mosaics to ceramics and metalwork, this exhibition is a testament to the husband-and-wife team whose 62-year marriage spawned a prolific creative collaboration that defined an era of modern design. A true marriage of craft and design, the Ackermans’ timeless works continue to be a vital part of California’s distinct modern aesthetic.

This exhibition was organized in an expanded format at Mingei International Museum, San Diego, CA where it was first presented in 2009–2010.
Step over the line and enter a space created by Los Angeles-based furniture designer Tanya Aguiñiga. In her new site-specific installation, Aguiñiga uses weaving techniques she learned in Chiapas, Mexico to create a sweeping three-dimensional environment crafted entirely from yarn and custom-built furniture. Drawing on her experience growing up on the US/Mexico border, the exhibition considers how physical borders and cultural boundaries are traversed everyday in an interconnected world. Visitors will also be invited to add their own weavings to the installation.
