In the early part of the twentieth century\, artist such as Simon Gate\, Edward Hald and Edvin Ohrstrom developed innovative new techniques like graal and ariel\, to create stunning and complex works in hand blown glass. \nInnovation in Glass Continues Today\nA source of cultural pride\, glassmaking is supported in Sweden by institutions like Riksglasskolan (the National School of Glass)\, Konstfack\, (University of Arts\, Craft and Design)\, and The Glass Factory at Boda Glasbruk (a residency and museum). Most of the artists in this exhibition have had relationships with one or more of these institutions. \nRecognition and Acclaim\nNielsen\, finalist for 2022 the Loewe Craft Prize\, was featured in the Corning Museum of Glass’ ‘New Glass Now 2020’ (touring to the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery). \nUlrika and Kristina\, of the duo BarroLévin\, celebrate environmental responsibility by transforming industrial air filters into deeply seductive planet-like globes and cocoons of glass. \nNina Westman\, a member of the BOOM glass group\, playfully promotes inclusivity and gender equality\, working with recycled glass to create playful symbols advancing her social values. \nThe work in this exhibition focuses attention on Sweden’s unique and ongoing contribution to the field of contemporary glass while also highlighting is depth of skill and breadth of style.
