this is a part of a life as jewellery artist… to be or not to be available is the question… or?!

I got the question to make some jewellery for the shop at Falsterbo konsthall, and I did… With a feeling that they could show them and may be not sell it, just to show the conservative people that lives there what’s could be under the jewellery sun…
But with this e-mail, they will return the pieces I sent to them…
It’s not a problem or a big deal for me that they returns, I can absolutely use them in some coming up exhibition, but the things that irritated me is that they haven’t the guts to show jewellery art as a selling idea at the shop, how will people know about this art and craft form IF we been censured by the people that runs the places?

”Våra besökare är med konservativa och vill ha enklare smycken till lägre priser.” /
Our visitors are conservative and will have common jewellery to lower prices.
This is from municipalities that have more or less more money than other municipality in Sweden…


”Hej
Efter att ha sett dina smycken har vi kommit fram till att de tyvärr inte passar i vår shop. De är välgjorda och annorlunda men vi tycker att de har mer konstnärligt syfte än att säljas som smycken. Våra besökare är med konservativa och vill ha enklare smycken till lägre priser. Vi skickar därför tillbaks dina verk med rekommenderad post.
Vi hoppas verkligen att du fortsätter att skapa efter din idé och tanke.
Hör gärna av dig om du kommer att ställa ut här i närheten.”

jewellery, ceramics and painting… and more jewellery…

The weekends coming up…

Märta Mattsson, Karin Östberg, the opening of Mexico – poetry and politic at the Nordic aquarelle museum, Nordiska akvarell museet and Lisa Björke at gallery Two little birds…

I hope I have the opportunity to see them all, but I think I choose the Mexico art this weekend.
Jewellery, ceramics and painting…


Four
Nästa helg gästas Four av Märta Mattsson. Hennes häpnadsväckande förmåga att balansera på gränsen mellan det vackra och det motbjudande har gjort henne välkänd på den internationella smyckescenen, och vi är stolta att presentera utställningen Rebirth.

Välkommen!

KARIN ÖSTBERG
kompositioner
24 sep - 18 okt 2011

”Mina arbeten:

Sedan ca 10 år tillbaks har jag arbetat med hål.
Jag skär ut mönster i leran.
Jag söker rytm och självklarhet.
Mellanrummen, leran och glasyren bildar alla olika mönster.
Och har alla lika stort värde och betydelse i mina verk.
Mönster i lager på lager.
Det tar tid och går långsamt.
Jag funderar inte så mycket över innehåll eller mening, jag försjunker i processen att göra och i upptäckterna
av möjligheter som uppstår när jag arbetar.
Jag låter mig svepas iväg.
Jag ser glimtar av variationer, fragment av förändringar och fördjupar mig.
Mina glasyrer:

Jag har experimenterat fram så kallade ”krypglasyrer” i lergodstemperatur för att kunna få fram starka
klara färger. Olika sinsemellan i struktur och färg,
Alla föremål, även de små Plupparna, är alla brända 3 gånger.
Jag tycker att krackeleringarna adderar en mjukhet till de annars så enkla formerna och de kontrollerade
matematiskt skurna mönstren.
På Sintra kommer jag att visa jag mina genombrutna Plattor.
Inverterade hål blir till Bollar och små Pluppar som jag gruppvis arrangerar i olika kompositioner.”
Karin Östberg, juni 2011
Karin Östberg är född 1955 i Kramfors i Ångermanland, men är sedan många år bosatt i Göteborg, där hon
1985-1990 utbildade sig till keramiker på HDK, Högskolan för Design och Konsthantverk. Sedan 1992 arbetar
hon i sin ateljé på Konstepidemin i Göteborg.
Karin har deltagit i ett stort antal utställningar, både inom och utom Sverige och erhållet ett flertal stipendier.

Jonas Hassen Khemiri play; apatiska för nybörjare...

Yesterday I was at the opening night of Jonas Hassen Khemiri play; apatiska för nybörjare. I can warmly recommend the play.
I like the way Jonas Hassen Khemiri go out for in his text and books, so this was exactly as I had hope it would be when it has been passing his brain and landed on the paper for becoming a play in the end.

some other pieces…

The duck in the can will be sending away to a gallery close by Gothenburg among some other plastic pieces in the end of September… The stick brooch is just a try out that I like and it has a good look when you wear it.





finally... after been indoors and get more or less crazy about all the small beads… here is the result…

Finally I’m finish with the pieces for Falsterbo Konsthall in Skåne…

Now I have to pack them and print out a c/v, price and material list and went to the post office.

And after that I have to cross my fingers that they like it and that the visitors also will be curios and see the colourful pieces with joy.




























from chaos to clarity…

This is photos are from today... a mess and chaos, but I like it and it’s a part of my everyday life... I think that I get clarity and orderliness out of it in the end…





coming up…





9 September–9 October
THE RING - jewel forever
Opening Friday 9/9 at 18:00

THE RING - the most common piece of jewellery can be full of meaning, a personal statement sometimes showing itself as a technical miracle or purely decorative and beautiful. It can demand attention, be an invitation to play, be filled with tears and secrets - and is to be worn for one day or for ever.


In homage to the ring Galleri Hnoss has invited all the jewellery artists exhibited in the gallery since the start in 1997 to produce one ring each. The result is now to be seen in the exhibition THE RING - jewel forever. The show consisting of over one hundred rings is a vibrant collection of different expressions, thoughts and forms.

In connection with the exhibition on September 9 we are also arranging a seminar. The theme is the ring seen from different perspectives. We are very proud to announce the speakers: Anna Schetelich from Galerie Oona, Germany, Professor Otto Kunzli, Germany, and Manuel Vilhena, jewellery artist from Portugal. Moderator is Love Jönsson, crafts critic and guest lecturer at HDK, University of Gothenburg. The seminar is a collaboration between Galleri Hnoss and the Department of Jewellery Art at HDK, with support from Gothenburg Crafts Association, Estrid Ericsson's Foundation, Wilhelm and Martina Lundgren Fund, and the family Wikanders Foundation.

With the exhibition The ring- jewel forever Galleri Hnoss will also manifest that our activities will change from now on. After this event we will leave our physical gallery and work in other ways in the future.
