Magister Armorum

Steel Orchestra

In June on 2017 the master students group at HDK Steneby, of which I'm part of, was asked to make an exhibition​ about our work in the master program of Applied Arts. The theme was 3 square meters, the space that we gave ourselves to exhibit our work in the exhibition hall in Dals Långed, the village where the university facilities are situated. I decided to show my corpus of previous armouring work, between experiments, failed attempts and discarded pieces. Here is the description I gave to the piece.
"An ensemble of empty vessels. Or a group of failures from a busy workshop. Nearly a thousand hours worth of useless objects. A display of time, skill and patience. Yet, here they lay dormant. Maybe they will never be completed, forgotten in a dusty corner of a dusty forge. Maybe they will be picked up and given a new meaning and new life. For now, here they sleep."
It has been a great experience to work with my colleagues and to figure out the layout of the whole exhibition and the overall feeling that we wanted to give to it.
