HB381 is pleased to announce its summer show, a group exhibition by five contemporary female artists working in glass. In hot shops and studios across Sweden and Denmark, these five sculptors have distinguished themselves for their facility with the techniques of blown glass, cast molten forms, and etched and chiseled surfaces. Glass functions as a multivalent substance which transmutes opaque sand into translucent imagery at once recognizable yet elusive; in their hands, this rich medium conveys enigma, utopian histories, baroque sensibilities, and bodily fragility.
The exhibition features works by Stine Bidstrup, Lene Bødker, Frida Fjellman, Hanna Hansdotter, and Maria Koshenkova.
