SUMMARY:Museum for Art in Wood presents a First Friday Opening for “
 Strange Woodcraft: Weird and Eerie Sculpture from the Museum’s Perma
 nent Collection.”
DESCRIPTION:The Museum for Art in Wood presents a First Friday Opening
  for ‘Strange Woodcraft: Weird and Eerie Sculpture from the Museum�
 �s Permanent Collection.’ Many artists, collectors, and enthusiasts 
 turn to wood for its inviting warmth and its promissory sense of nosta
 lgic familiarity. Departing from these typical associations, Strange 
 Woodcraft” presents works which nurture a discomforting curiosity wi
 th the unfamiliar. Taking inspiration from cultural critic Mark Fisher
 ’s insight that our attraction to the “weird” and the “eerie�
 � stem from a fascination for “what lies beyond standard perception,
  cognition and experience,” ‘Strange Woodcraft’ embraces sculp
 tural forms which feel out of place, askew, haunting, or just downrigh
 t odd.\nOn display in the gallery of the Museum’s Fleur and Charles 
 Bresler Research Library, this exhibition includes work from 16 artist
 s, held in the museum’s permanent collection, whose sculptural forms
  probe at the weird, eerie—and perhaps even grotesque—registers of
  wood. In doing so, ‘Strange Woodcraft’ encourages visitors to c
 onsider the presence of more-than-human forces that may linger in craf
 ted objects, just beyond common perception.\n\nFor more information vi
