The Perfect Fit: Shoes Tell Stories December 2, 2010

This exhibition includes more than 120 examples of imaginative and provocative shoes made by American contemporary artists between 2004 and 2008. Materials range from clay, metal, fabric, wood, glass and paper. The shoes, while sometimes whimsical, often communicate multiple meanings and stories that speak to issues of gender, history, sexuality, class, race and culture. Artists include Jan Hopkins, Judy Haberl, Sergei Isupove, Marjorie Schick, Willie Cole and Chunghie Lee. The exhibition, curated by Wendy Tarlow Kaplan, is organized by the FullerCraft Museum, Brockton, MA.
