A group exhibition standing at the intersection between design, contemporary art and traditional craft presents creations by five bold women artists.
Colourful lichen, sculptures and objects made of leather, glass and textiles… These creations inspired not only by the Swedish countryside and traditions but also by contemporary technologies are presented in the 16th-century home of the Institut suédois, forming a timeless Nordic macrocosm.
The exhibition, held in several of our spaces and playing with their volumes and light, features some thirty art and design exhibits made by five successful woman artists: Malin Bobeck Tadaa, Hanna Hansdotter, Louise Hederström, Aia Jüdes and Emilia Sundqvist. Their artworks, which are sustainable, surprising and playful, exist somewhere between an enchanted forest and a dreamlike galaxy. They combine unusual natural materials, bold forms, ancestral motifs and original techniques: tree burls, sculptures made of coloured lichen and blown glass, luminous textiles… all showing influences and connections with baroque art and Surrealism.
