Business/Front | Party/Back is an exhibition that channels the beloved hairstyle we all know as the mullet. This hairstyle has recently been modernized and brought back into mainstream culture yet its legendary descriptor, ‘business in the front, party in the back’ has held its relevance throughout time. As emerging artists, we are exploring the concept behind the mullet within our varying mediums. We are honoring the traditional or ‘business’ aspects of our crafts, allowing us to understand the origins of our different mediums and fully appreciate how they came to be, while also presenting our ‘party’ side to introduce to the viewers our experimental and contemporary works of art. These works all join together to allow us to appreciate where we’ve come from and how we will move forward into the future of our crafts. As artists working currently out of Touchstone Center for Crafts’ studios, we hope to honor and review Touchstone’s 50th year anniversary theme, a ‘Half-Century of Craft.’
