Event Description

“Out of Bounds: The Art of Croquet” is a “striking” exhibition of artist-made mallets and balls curated by Center for Art in Wood’s Artistic Director Jennifer-Navva and Massachusetts-based furniture maker Silas Kopf. The exhibition features the works of 21 artists who were invited to take part based on their demonstrated commitment to sculpture and design in the material of wood. Responding to the game, its history and impact on pop culture, and formal aspects of the croquetterie, these works explore a wide range of topics—from personal artistic concerns to contemporary social issues—with clarity, wit, and sportsmanship.
