Their work revisits home hobby crafts from the 1970s to address issues such as feminism, environmentalism, and self-sufficiency shared in common with our contemporary moment in which farm-to-table and craft brewing have become a part of the cultural zeitgeist. Linked by the use of modular design and labour-intensive production <em class="">Once More, With Feeling</em> brings together several large sculptural installations, including <em class="">The Table Has Been Set</em>, <em class="">Domestic Brew</em>, and <em class="">The Hand of Craft</em>. These works use scale, repetition, and a willful sense of playfulness to challenge our assumptions around handicrafts while questioning what is appropriate as an art material. Shake-n-Make mine this tension between the domestic (the primary site of crafting) and the public (the world outside the home) to muddy the divide between high and low art and to question the values we place upon cultural production as labour.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;" class=""><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Shake-n-Make (Claudia B.

In <em class="">Extraordinary Measures</em>, she turns her attention to tools for measurement by systematically reformatting a series of readymade measuring devices. <em class="">From a Straight Line to a Curve</em> features a collection of vintage yard sticks that have been bolted together to form a large geodesic sphere. <em class="">Greater than, Less than</em> uses cloth measuring tapes that have been spliced then nailed to the wall in a series of chevrons: one half held taught while the other surrenders to gravity. <em class="">A Sequence of Lines and Links</em> conjoins hundreds of steel rulers in a net-like construction that drapes and buckles under its own weight. <em class="">From point A to point B</em> features a series of wood rulers that have been precisely cut then reassembled in stepped patterns. In reconfiguring these common measuring devices, she removes their function and suspends the ability to demarcate linear units of measure. By breaking these empirical conventions, the artist invites us to imagine data, space, and distance differently.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;" class=""><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Kristiina Lahde is a Toronto-based artist.
