Jeanette Karsten - photographs of the inner world of the glass
June 14 in the Vincafé
17:00 – 19:00
Welcome to the vernissage in the Vincaféet. This time we present photographs by the architect and artist Jeanette Karsten, whose work captures the magic of the glass and the play of light in snapshots. During the vernissage, an artist talk is held with the artist and Vår Gård Curator Josephine Rosenblad. There will also be art and design on plastic to buy.
Jeanette Karsten is a trained architect from KTH and has a long artistic path behind her, where her main material is often glass - with figurative shapes bordering on the abstract. In the new photo exhibition, she directs the camera at her own glass artwork and captures the light reflections that arise in the volumes of the glass. The result is images that bring the thoughts to underwater worlds, where it sealed in the glass gets a new life through the eye of photography.
Jeanette won the Swedish glass pearl 2024 for Lisa Elmqvist in Östermalmshallen.
Welcome to experience a visual trip in the glass's reflective landscape!
Snacks and bubbles are included. Limited number and drop in place.
