In the Spring of 2011 the Chipstone Foundation and the Milwaukee Art Museum
invited sixteen established artists from Britain and America to participate
in an unusual experiment. Each artist was asked to lay aside his or her
standard tool kit and craft a work of art with one tool alone. The challenge
presented to the artists sounds simple: create a work of art with one tool.
The material and tool were left open-ended with the purpose of encouraging
creativity within the one-tool constraint. The Tool at Hand brings together
these artworks, the tools that crafted them and short, explanatory videos
produced by each artist. The exhibition takes place at the Milwaukee Art
Museum from December 8, 2011 through April 1, 2012. In this video, Nicola
Probert disassembles her tool, a video camera.
