“SHARING IS CARING II” Ongoing exhibition duri “SHARING IS CARING II” Ongoing exhibition during the FERROUS Festival in Hereford. Until April 7th. • Here’s my answer to Pravu Mazumdar’s curatorial question. • Pravu: "What does it mean to create objects from the standpoint of force, rather than that of a form, a content, a material? What does it mean to create objects with the specific purpose of displaying their force and impact, which can materialise as their performative function?” Tobias: “When I can recognize a hint of a symbolic purpose in my objects, where no specific practical use can be discerned, this is when they become loaded with a personality and begin to live. The performative function is then enhanced by the context I choose to place them in e. g. gently wrapped in an old suitcase or placed on an altarlike pedestal. By being liberated from the practical function, an object attains a new kind of value and exudes the force of a tool in the fourth dimension.” • Photo credit @christianhabetzeder • Art by @tbirgersson • @ferrousfestival @herefordanvils @hdk_valand @konsthantverkscentrum @universityofgothenburg @_steneby_ • • #pravumazumdar #tobiasbirgersson #curatorialquestions #suitcase #maker #forged #fourthdimention #sharingiscaring #ferrous #ferrousfestival2022 #forged #tool #toolness #instacraft #exhibition #hereford #photo #christianhabetzeder #metalartsweden #hereford #herefordshire #uk #sweden #art

SHARING IS CARING II I am participating as @meta SHARING IS CARING II I am participating as @metalartsweden Faculty- exhibiting during FERROUS FESTIVAL 2022• @herefordanvils @ferrousfestival Sharing is Caring II Main festival weekend 25 – 27 March 2022 Selected exhibitions open until 3 April 2022 This international exhibition showcases work by 11 artists from Sweden, Estonia, USA and UK, made in response to a philosophical question presented to the participants by Pravu Mazumdar, a scholar and writer of Indian origin, now based in Germany. The works on show explore the boundaries between art and craft, materiality and ideas, functionality and creativity, through the physical act of applying force to metal. Each artist has also created a written response to Pravu’s provocation.
