Imagine someone designing and building a table and another person making jewelry. Did you picture a man in the first case and a woman in the second? If so, that’s exactly the kind of gender bias the National Museum of Women in the Arts seeks to rid audiences of with the new exhibition, “Pathmakers: Women in Art, Craft, and Design, Midcentury and Today.” It begins in the 1950s, a time when “people were growing tired of the machine aesthetic in modernism and looking for something softer, warmer and more human,” says Jennifer Scanlan, exhibit co-curator. “There was a renewed interest in crafts and the handmade, often associated with the work of women.” At the time, female artists began working for major design companies and joined the faculty of new crafts departments at art schools across the country, inspiring future generations of furniture-makers and metalsmiths of all genders. Open now, “Pathmakers” features more than 80 works by female artists, crafters and designers.

Polly Apfelbaum, Handweaver’s Pattern Book installation, 2014 Bringing the show back to its origins, New York-based artist Polly Apfelbaum created this work just last year, guided by Marguerite P. Davison’s “A Handweaver’s Pattern Book,” a 1950s publication that championed the importance of handiwork over machines. For this project, Apfelbaum dotted 50 rectangular swaths of fabric with colored dots (by hand, using a plastic punch card as a stencil), each swath denoting a different textile-weaving pattern she found in the book. Much like in the 1950s, today’s artists and designers are taking advantage of a renewed interest in the handmade. Hella Jongerius (manufactured by Vitra), Polder Sofa XL, 2005 Dutch industrial designer Hella Jongerius created this couch as part of a redesign for the United Nations North Delegates’ Lounge in New York, which opened in 2013. “Jongerius’ studio [also] rewove one of the beaded curtains that covers an enormous window in the Delegates’ Lounge, something you can usually only see if you’re a U.N. delegate,” Scanlan says, adding that Jongerius’ pieces are some of her favorites in the exhibit.
