Welcome to the exhibition opening!
Saturday 20 June 2 pm
In the 47th Tendencies titled Kneaded. Shaped. Fired., we focus on Nordic contemporary ceramics and ask what this art form can tell about the present.
In the exhibition, we meet ten Nordic artists who use ceramics as both a technique and a way of thinking. Through each artist’s unique understanding of materials, commitment and joy of creation, works are presented that spring from different methods, techniques and ideas, but always in a collaboration between artist and material.
