ITE staat voor Itse Tehty Elämä wat je kan vertalen als self-made life. Dit boek laat ons kennis maken met hedendaagse Finse volkskunst en aan de hand van het werk van 23 artiesten krijgen we te zien wat die Finse volkskunst tegenwoordig allemaal te bieden heeft. Het werk is heel uiteenlopend en iedereen vindt zijn/haar gading in dit aanbod. Heel mooie dingen zijn te zien in dit boek: er is het ruwe beeldhouwwerk waarbij Väinö Oja zich bijvoorbeeld bedient van de kettingzaag, maar dit werk staat dan weer in schril contrast met het bloedmooie textielwerk van Rauha Ryynänen en de naïeve schilderkunst van Tyyne Esko. je hoeft het boek niet eens open te slaan om bekoord te worden door deze hedendaagse Finse volkskunst: het prachtige interieur op de achterzijde van de kaft is van een hemelse schoonheid.

Catalogue of exhibition combining Grayson Perry's own work with objects from across the British Museum's collection. "Drawing on such intriguing and diverse themes as pilgrimage, shamanism and tomb guardians, Grayson Perry takes the reader on a journey to an imaginary afterlife. 'The Tomb of an Unknown Craftsman is of a treasure hoard from a distinct civilisation. The difference is that it is a civilisation of one. The territory it springs from is my imagination. The relationship between my personal themes and obsessions and the vastness of world culture as represented in the British Museum is like a narrow pilgrimage trail across an infinite plain.' Grayson Perry's centrepiece to this fascinating journey is a major artwork: a metal tomb in the form of a ship, encrusted with reliefs and artistic cargo based on, or actually cast from, objects in the collection of the British Museum. The occupant sails into the afterlife surrounded by the talismans of many faiths and peoples. This is a memorial to all the anonymous craftsmen that over the centuries have fashioned the man-made wonders of the world, many of which are on display in the Museum. Around the tomb, the other artworks - ceramics, tiles, cast metal sculpture, textiles and prints - are laid out in ritualistic symmetry as if they once belonged somewhere else. Alongside his own works, Grayson Perry presents a personal selection of objects from the British Museum that are the inspiration for his pieces or connected strongly with them thematically or aesthetically. Including an introduction by Grayson Perry and lavishly illustrated, this book takes us to the fantasy world of a contemporary artist who never fails to challenge and unsettle his audience. Turner Prize winner Grayson Perry uses the seductive qualities of ceramics, tapestry, metalwork and other art forms to make stealthy comments about societal injustices and hypocrisies, and to explore a variety of historical and contemporary themes."--Publisher's website.
