Massa i r\u00f6relse<\/em> genomf\u00f6rs som ett konstn\u00e4rligt unders\u00f6kande arbete med avstamp i begreppet Glasriket och materialet glas liksom i dialog med det som f\u00f6r n\u00e4rvarande p\u00e5g\u00e5r i regionen, genom att p\u00e5 plats behandla och gestalta historik, kontext och f\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttningar f\u00f6r den svenska glasindustrin i utbyte med de m\u00e4nniskor som varit och fortfarande \u00e4r beroende av denna industri. Projektet\u00a0Massa i r\u00f6relse<\/em> \u00e4r ett samarbete mellan sex svenska konstn\u00e4rer: Eva Arnqvist, Johanna Gustavsson F\u00fcrst, Ingela Johansson, \u00c5sa Jungnelius, Caroline M\u00e5rtensson och Malin Pettersson \u00d6berg. Samtliga konstn\u00e4rer delar ambitionen att koppla sina konstn\u00e4rliga praktiker r\u00f6rande estetik, metod och material till fr\u00e5gor om den lokala och globala samh\u00e4llsutvecklingen.<\/p>\n Den nationella identiteten kring glas har r\u00f6tter i ett omr\u00e5de som ringas in som ett \u201dGlasrike\u201d i Sm\u00e5land. Glasriket marknadsf\u00f6rs som en levande industriell region, men b\u00e5de \u00c5fors och Orrefors glasbruk har nyligen lagts ner och stora delar av tillverkningen sker i dag utomlands. Vad blir den nya gemenskapen i regionen n\u00e4r bruken l\u00e4ggs ner? G\u00e5r det att samlas runt ett begrepp som \u00e4nnu inte f\u00e5tt ett inneh\u00e5ll grundat i verkligheten? Hur \u00e4r det att leva kvar i bruksmilj\u00f6n n\u00e4r merparten av verksamheten \u00e4r nedlagd och produktionen f\u00f6rflyttad utomlands? Hur p\u00e5verkar detta den enskilda m\u00e4nniskan och vad g\u00f6r det med bygdens identitet? Att diskutera fr\u00e5gor som dessa p\u00e5 plats i Glasriket \u00e4r projektets viktigaste m\u00e5l och genomf\u00f6rs genom att projektet i sig skapar m\u00f6tesplatser f\u00f6r utbyten av id\u00e9er och tankar kring glaset som kulturarv och historien h\u00e4rom.<\/p>\n Massa i r\u00f6relse <\/em>rymmer arbetsvistelser och workshops p\u00e5 olika platser i regionen, seminarier, en utst\u00e4llning p\u00e5 Kalmar konstmuseum i december 2015 -februari 2016 med en anslutande konferens i samarbete med Lisa Rosendahl\u00a0p\u00e5 temat platsspecifika projekt med utg\u00e5ngspunkt i landsbygdens och avindustrialiseringens olika fr\u00e5gest\u00e4llningar.\u00a0Projektet genomf\u00f6rs i dialog med Kalmar konstmuseum, The Glass Factory och Designarkivet Pukeberg och st\u00f6ds av Kulturr\u00e5det, Konstn\u00e4rsn\u00e4mnden och Nybro Kommun.<\/p>\n – The national identity connected to glass has its roots in an area described as \u201dThe Kingdom of Crystal\u201d in Sm\u00e5land in southern Sweden. The Kingdom of Crystal is marketed as a living industrial region. However, both the \u00c5fors and Orrefors Glassworks has recently been closed and much of the production today takes place abroad. What will be the new sense of community in the region when the glassworks are closed down? Is it possible to gather around a concept that has not yet received a content grounded in reality? How is it to continue living in the glassworks environment when most of the activity is over and the production has been moved abroad? How does this affect the individual human being and what does it do to the regional identity? To discuss issues such as these on site in the Kingdom of Crystal is the most important aim of the project, an aim implemented by the project itself creating forums for exchange of ideas and thoughts on glass as a cultural heritage and the history thereof.<\/p>\n Moving Mass<\/em> enables residencies and workshops at various locations in the region, seminars, an exhibition at Kalmar konstmuseum\u00a0in December 2015 -February 2016 and an adjoining conference in collaboration with Lisa Rosendahl\u00a0on the theme of site-specific projects with a point of departure in the different issues of rural and de-industrialised regions.\u00a0The project is carried out in dialogue with Kalmar konstmuseum, The Glass Factory and The Design Archive Pukeberg and is supported by\u00a0The Swedish Arts Council, The Swedish Arts Grants Committee and Nybro Municipality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (For English please scroll down) Massa i r\u00f6relse genomf\u00f6rs som ett konstn\u00e4rligt unders\u00f6kande arbete med avstamp i begreppet Glasriket och materialet glas liksom i dialog med det som f\u00f6r n\u00e4rvarande p\u00e5g\u00e5r i regionen, genom att p\u00e5 plats behandla och gestalta historik, kontext och f\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttningar f\u00f6r den svenska glasindustrin i utbyte med de m\u00e4nniskor som varit … Forts\u00e4tt l\u00e4sa Massa i r\u00f6relse – Moving Mass<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":56,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[17,18,14,16,15,19,12,13],"class_list":["post-192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-massa-i-rorelse","tag-asa-jungnelius","tag-caroline-martensson","tag-eva-arnqvist","tag-ingela-johansson","tag-johanna-gustavsson-furst","tag-malin-pettersson-oberg","tag-massa-i-rorelse","tag-moving-mass"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se\/moving-mass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se\/moving-mass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se\/moving-mass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se\/moving-mass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se\/moving-mass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se\/moving-mass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se\/moving-mass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se\/moving-mass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se\/moving-mass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se\/moving-mass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nMoving Mass<\/em> is carried out as an artistic enquiry with a point of departure in the concept\u00a0of The Kingdom of Crystal <\/em>and the material glass as well as in dialogue with that which is currently going on in the region, through on-site investigations and portrayal of the history, context and conditions of the Swedish glass industry, in exchange with the people who were and still are dependent on this industry.\u00a0The project Moving Mass<\/em> is a collaboration between six Swedish artists: Eva Arnqvist, Johanna Gustavsson F\u00fcrst, Ingela Johansson, \u00c5sa Jungnelius, Caroline M\u00e5rtensson and Malin Pettersson \u00d6berg. All the artists share the ambition\u00a0to relate their artistic practices regarding aesthetics, methods and materials to questions about the local and global community development.<\/p>\n
