During the summer of 2020, the space outside the Renwick
Gallery-the Smithsonian American Art Museum's dedicated museum for
contemporary craft and decorative arts-became home to a new
discussion about racial justice on Black Lives Matter Plaza. The
curators at the Renwick Gallery felt the need to align themselves
with what was going on right outside the Gallery's door, the
organizing rationale for understanding the objects presented in
this volume, many of which are new acquisitions. The title is taken
from Alicia Eggert's 2019-2020 eponymous neon work, and the 85
objects in the main plates section lead the reader from the idea of
shelter, through layers of expanding spaces to the vast expanses of
the universe. The volume looks at contemporary American craft "in
the whirlwind of now" revealing possibilities for contemporary
makers to respond to a more empathetic future.
