Transformative
Students from HDK-Valand’s craft specializations have created their own interpretations of the Design Stories exhibition under the theme of change.
Students from the three craft specializations – Textile Art, Ceramic Art, and Jewellery Art – have each contributed their interpretations, resulting in 17 completed works. These creations are inspired by the museum’s collection, ranging from Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack’s optical color-mixing top (Bauhaus Weimar, 1923) to Katharine Hamnett’s Use a Condom T-shirt (2007).
The course Objects, Concepts & External Collaborations engaged in dialogue with the Design Stories exhibition and its thematically focused section Transformation, which explores how design and craft are used to comment on and critique society. By delving into the exhibition, the students have worked to create their own interpretations of the theme or specific objects.
About the Program
The program has a strong artistic profile and aims to prepare students to contribute to and develop contemporary craft scenes. The goal of the course is for students to face the challenge of creating a work based on a given theme while adhering to parameters set by an external institution.
