A spokesperson says---
"...Featuring artists working across clay, fiber, glass, metal, wood, enamel, and mosaic... the current iteration of OBJECTS: USA reimagines the original exhibition for a new generation, bringing historic and contemporary works by leading artists and designers into dialogue.
The 2026 presentation at MCD will feature over 70 works by pioneering figures... alongside contemporary makers... Through works in furniture, fiber, sculpture, jewelry, and experimental design, OBJECTS: USA highlights artists who challenge conventional boundaries between art, craft, and utility while expanding the possibilities of material expression.
...OBJECTS: USA considers how makers have shaped and reflected American culture across generations. The exhibition offers an expansive view of American making, one grounded in artistry, grit, and imaginative independence.
...Together, the historic and contemporary works in OBJECTS: USA trace a changing yet continuous story of American craft, from the rise of the studio craft movement to the expanded field of contemporary object-making today. Across generations, the exhibition frames craft as a dynamic language for invention and cultural imagination..."
