GUSTAVSBERGS
KONSTHALL
Gustavsbergs
Konsthall is Sweden’s only public art gallery specializing
in contemporary craft art. The gallery opened in the summer
of 2007 and has rapidly established itself as a leading venue
for Swedish and international crafts. By showing a broad spectrum
of crafts in thematic, groundbreaking and artistically exploratory
exhibitions the gallery aims to increase public understanding
of contemporary craft art and to promote discussion. Gustavsbergs
Konsthall represents an open and innovative craft venue, based
on traditional craft manufacturing. The exhibition schedule
features crafts in all types of materials, displaying current
work by internationally recognized craft artists as well as
the avant-garde of the younger generation. The gallery mounts
five to eight exhibitions each year.
Gustavsbergs Konsthall also runs the unique Ceramic & Glass
Expo which sells high-quality, hand-picked items by Sweden’s
leading craft artists. The products range in style from classical
to conceptual so that the Expo acts as an important forum for
the latest in Swedish ceramic and glass art, presenting the
public with a sales point that is unique in Sweden
Gustavsbergs Konsthall is situated in the oldest building of
the former Gustavsberg porcelain works, the so-called Gula Byggningen,
where it occupies the entire upper floor. Operations are in
the hands of the gallery’s management team consisting
of Maj Sandell, artistic director, Agneta Linton, exhibition
producer, and Caroline Södergren, co-ordinator. Gustavsbergs
Konsthall is owned by Gustavsbergs Hamn AB.
