TräKraft is a group exhibition that explores materiality and time. Wood as a material has a variety of conditions, uses, and relationships at a societal level with nature, culture, and industry. On an individual level, we all have personal relationships, perhaps a favorite piece of furniture or a kitchen utensil that fits the hand and engages all the senses. Trees have existed for millions of years, can grow for centuries, and disappear in seconds in a forest fire. How we manage and utilize our trees today and in the future is a highly relevant burning issue. What are the best carbon sinks? Perhaps living trees, long-lasting furniture, and a thriving handicraft tradition.
