I’ll just leave this here until tomorrow

Vernissage: 17 January, at 17.00

A duo exhibition featuring matt lambert (PhD student at Konstfack) and Mafune Gonjo (Konstfack alumni, Ceramics and Glass MFA 2010).

matt lambert is a non-binary, trans multidisciplinary collaborator and co-conspirator working towards equity, inclusion, and reparation. Their research focuses on mapping collaborative movements with craft through a developed methodology of cruising. lambert is currently a PhD candidate in philosophy in artistic practice in visual, applied and spatial arts, focusing on craft at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Sweden. They hold a MA in Critical Craft Theory from Warren Wilson College and an MFA in Metalsmithing from Cranbrook Academy of Art.

Mafune Gonjo works a lot with broken glass fragments. It started when she moved to Sweden in 2008 to study at Konstfack. She could speak neither Swedish nor English and could not order materials. The only thing she found was broken glass from the garbage cans so she started picking from them and creating works of art with simple tools. Breaking glass and reconstructing abandoned glass fragments into something beautiful reflected her own process of breaking down her old identity and rebuilding it into something stronger.
