Special Exhibition "Resonance – From Past to Present"

What happens when objects from the past meet contemporary craft? The exhibition draws on Gudhjem Museum’s collection of objects. Each object bears traces of its time – its function, materials, craftsmanship and the people who used or made it. Although they belong to the past, they still carry knowledge and experience. Selected members of Arts & Crafts Association Bornholm have used these objects as starting points for new works. They have explored forms, techniques and stories, finding inspiration to create something new. The result is not copies, but interpretations in which expressions from the past re-emerge in a contemporary context. Resonance describes this connection: just as one tone can set another vibrating, an object from the past can create movement in the present. A dialogue arises in which the old and the new influence one another. Resonance emerges in the encounter between times, materials and people.
