SLUMP - Luck by Chance, which is the 2011 thematic exhibition by the Norwegian Association for Arts and Crafts, investigates how chance and the fortuitously accidental operate in the artistic process. Allowing luck and coincidence a part in this process involves balancing order and chaos, planning and spontaneity. To an arts and crafts practitioner for whom the material process is fundamental, the unpredictable can intervene and become a path to an unexpected – sometimes better – final outcome.
SLUMP - Luck by Chance is co-produced by Bomuldsfabriken Kunsthall, Arendal and Gustavsbergs Konsthall, Stockholm. In creating a meeting point for the arts and crafts of these two countries, the exhibition examines a range of different material modes of expression, brought together by a common goal.
