The exhibition "Vessels and Weaves" takes as its starting point the traditionally functional forms such as ceramic plates, bowls, urns, and bowls, along with textile patchworks. We here present works by eight contemporary artists whose practices are rooted in these eternal shapes and material.

"Vessels and Weaves" questions what defines an object as a work of art or craft, and a practitioner as an artist or artisan? Is it the shape and the formative language or the material, the practitioner's academic background, intention or idea, the viewer's experience, the work's function, or perhaps the lack of function? Or is it even relevant and possible to draw a line between the two – will the division soon be overplayed?
