Lena Dahrén has asked me to forward this.Greetings Vibeke in Copenhagen Below you find a text translated from Swedish about the very special exhibition of lace and freehand lace which starts in May.
Here is a link to the homepage of the museum. Don't miss it, there are some nice pictures. http://www.nordiskamuseet.se/Publication.asp?publicationid=8566&cat=148&catNa me=utstallningar ------------------------------ Lace exhibition at Nordiska Museet in Stockholm. Lace is almost everywhere at the moment. From clothes to furnishing. The lace-designs can also be seen on products in other material. In the exhibition in shown the original, the technique and inspiration for new products. From ''citsch'' to art. Grandmother's laces are reused and formed to cakes or a ceiling-cloth - just a few examples of lace as inspiration for design. A special part of the exhibition is for the bobbin lace maker Kerstin Höglund. She has worked with the old tradition of bobbin freehand lace making from Ovanåker and Ore, two parishes in mid-Sweden. She is making coarse bobbin-laces for costume and furnishing. Beside her works is shown the width of bobbin lacemaking as an expression. The work which is seen-through where the light changes the pattern. She uses unexpected forms to use lace in a new way. The exhibition is open 11 May - 2 September 2007.
