In the exhibition "Reflexioner" (Reflections), eighteen artists working across different materials and artistic practices come together in a mutual interpretation of each other's work. Each invited artist has been paired with a member of Blås & Knåda. From this encounter, one or more works have been created, taking each other’s artistic practice as a starting point. The exhibition explores what happens when ideas, materials, and expressions are shifted between different hands and practices, and how new meanings can emerge in the translation itself.

In the exhibition "Tid och plats" (Time and Place), ceramic artist Helena Malm takes her starting point in the public spaces and urban environments of her everyday life. Daily lingering in these same settings creates a rhythm, a slow pace, where the gaze pauses. Familiar shapes, colors, and patterns take on a new meaning, closely linked to the shifts of life itself – fragments of an everyday reality that invite reflection on time, transformation, and impermanence. Helena Malm is a Stockholm-based artist working with ceramic sculpture and site-specific art.
