Shaping stories

Hallwylska Museet is craftsmanship on an epic scale. As a collective, there were a number of initial responses to this house as a site of inspiration as well as a location in which to present new work. The recurring thoughts circled around how we could find our way into the building, to relate and be in dialogue with the spectrum of identities the house has or is representative of; as a historical artefact, as a domestic space, as a life’s work, as a time capsule of wealth and taste...

One way we saw to do this was to see our work as a layer on top of the objects, now surfaces, that have been in place for decades. As part of Stockholm Craft Week 2024, our works seek to build new narratives around personal histories, individual inspirations and diverse craft perspectives.
