Crafting Words/Crafting Objects 

The artist group Crafting Words/Crafting Objects was founded in 2021 and centers around artistic writing. The group consists of six craft artists and a professor of artistic writing. Since its inception, the members have met regularly to share texts based on various themes related to their respective materials and artistic practices. In the autumn of 2024, the group released its first collaborative book, the self-titled Crafting Words/Crafting Objects.

Hand It Over 

In the exhibition Hand It Over, the artist group Crafting Words/ Crafting Objects take their starting point in the concept ”anonymous instructions” to create the works that make up the exhibition. The group members have all written one instruction to create an artwork, that's been handed anonymously to another group member to interpret the instruction in their chosen material. The exhibition is an investigation into what comes out- and what is lost- in the translation from text to physical form, from one artists language to another’s.

Hand It Over

In connection with the exhibition Hand It Over, artist talks and readings of the instructional texts that form the basis of the works will be arranged. The exhibition is the result of an investigation into what emerges – and what might be lost – in the translation from text to physical form, as well as from one artist's expression to another.
