This traveling exhibit is the first for many years to show the work of leading contemporary Swedish artists. Financed by the Swedish institute and curated by Inger Molin it has been shown at museums and gallery's in Europe and the US. Starting at Europäisches industriemuseum fur porzellan in Selb, Germany, March 2006 and ending today at the Hillstrom museum of art in St.Peter, Minnesota.
Voices is an exhibition of work by ten pioneering Swedish ceramic artists. In curating this exhibition, Inger Molin has chosen ceramic artists from different generations and with very different voices and approaches to their work. What they have in common are that they are natural representatives – and leading exponents – of the dynamism and originality of contemporary ceramic art. Viewed together they enable us to discern something unique about the contemporary development of ceramics in Sweden. Free in their relationship to traditional ceramic art they seek new directions and emphasize freedom of expression. No longer is it the material that is important; but what the ceramic artist has to say.
Frida Fjellman, Renata Francescon, Eva Hild, Pontus Lindvall, Mårten Medbo, AnnaSofia Mååg, Gustaf Nordenskiöld, Kjell Rylander, Per B Sundberg and Kenneth Williamsson their work has been enthusiastically received both at home and abroad. The artists contributing their voices to the exhibition work sculpturally and conceptually, addressing existential issues with humour or as abstractions.
