From HANDCRAFT to MINDCRAFT -  Sublime manifestation of Danish crafts and design at
FuoriSalone in Milan

 
For the first time ever,  Danish crafts and design are officially exhibited at
FuoriSalone. The name of the event is MINDCRAFT, where 12 of
Denmark’s top designers present their ideas on modern and innovative
crafts and design. MINDCRAFT is organized by Danish Crafts and on
display in ZONA TORTONA from 16 – 21 April  2008. 
 
Danish crafts and design are bursting with creative and intellectual zest these
years, expressed in a wave of innovative design characterised by high artistic
quality. The development from traditional crafts and applied art to innovative
and conceptual design has enabled the international breakthrough and the
strong position on the international design scene that Danish crafts and design
are currently experiencing.
 
In recent years, Danish crafts and design have received a number of
international honours and awards. In 2005, Danish crafts won the award for
”best craftsmanship” at the design fair ICFF in New York, in 2006 Danish crafts
were profiled through a successful collaboration with MoMA, and a recent
collaboration with the Danish furniture maker Fritz Hansen has paved the way
for international success for the participating craftspeople.

12 of Denmark’s leading and most talented young craftspeople and designers
are involved in the MINDCRAFT exhibition. The 12 craftspeople and designers
are exponents of the development from HANDCRAFT to MINDCRAFT that is
currently changing Danish crafts from an area that is predominantly concerned
with materials, techniques and utilitarian value to a phenomenon in the field of
tension between art, crafts and design. MINDCRAFT applies an expanded
concept of crafts and a conceptual approach to the field, which is reflected in
the individual works as well as in the exhibition design. With its 12 unique
brand-new and artistic works, the exhibition offers a view of Danish crafts and
design right now.
 
This view includes digital bed linen, an inflatable bowl, a good-luck ring,
aesthetic/grotesque figurines, a Styrofoam chair, a huge felt boulder, a
luminescent damask table cloth, a soft bathtub, a ceramic rack, a clothes tree, a 
vaginal mirror, and a laser-cut chair.
 
The exhibition has been organized by Danish Crafts, which is an information
centre under the Danish Ministry of Culture with the overall goal of highlighting,
promoting and increasing turnover for Danish crafts in Denmark and abroad.
The Danish architect Karen Kjærgaard is the exhibition curator and designer.
 
The 12 participating Danish designers are ceramicist Anders Ruhwald,
ceramicist Christin Johansson, ceramicist Louise Hindsgavl, textile designer
Pernelle Fagerlund, textile designer Astrid Krogh, textile designer Dorte
Agergaard Jensen, furniture designer Louise Campbell, furniture designer Ditte
Hammerstrøm, designer Cecilie Manz, designer Ole Jensen, goldsmith Kim
Buck, and goldsmith Carolina Vallejo.
