Material & Identity – Anna Mlasowsky

The retrospective is dedicated to the multifaceted work of Anna Mlasowsky, an artist born in Germany in 1984, based in Seattle, USA, and currently working as a professor at Konstfack in Stockholm.

The exhibition features sculptures, sound and video installations, and wall works. The focus is on objects that explore the materiality of glass and its semantic and physical properties in ever-changing ways. In her work she explores technical aspects and their boundaries as a way to address topics of identity, gender, and interpersonal relationships.

Like few other international artists, Anna Mlasowsky explores glass in ever-changing approaches and concepts. Her consistent approach, which also incorporates scientific questions, opens up new perspectives on a material often perceived only for its beauty. The exhibition offers exciting and surprising insights and brings together a selection of artworks from the last seventeen years.

Anna Mlasowsky is professor of glass and ceramics at the Department of Crafts at Konstfack in Stockholm, one of Scandinavia‘s most important art schools. She has received numerous international awards, including the Otto Waldrich-Award for Young Artists at the Coburg Prize for Contemporary Glass in 2014 and the Toyama International Glass Exhibition in 2021. She also works as a curator and juror and can look back on an impressivearray of international exhibitions. Her works can be found in museums and private collections worldwide.
