I am delighted to have been selected to participate in Collect Open, the leading international art fair for contemporary objects presented by the Crafts Council (UK). I will exhibit for the first time 6-7 different sizes (from ø70 to 30 cm) round shaped pieces of Magnifico Prayer Series, expecially crafted for this occasion.
Collect returns to the Saatchi Gallery for its 13th edition. See over 35 selected galleries from around the world presenting museum-quality work from hundreds of artists with exceptional skill and intellectual rigour behind modern craft – from works in ceramics, glass, metal, wood and textiles to makers working in non-traditional materials with experimental techniques.
Collect offers an unrivalled opportunity to see and buy exceptional contemporary craft by artists, and makers represented by leading British and international galleries.
Alongside the gallery, Collect Open will showcase concept-driven and experimental craft works selected by a panel led by designer Faye Toogood. Collect Open offers a unique opportunity for artists to challenge traditional perceptions of craft and design. Installations by 15 makers including Shelley James, Soojin Kang and Malene Hartmann Rasmussen have been selected.
