Breakable Art features 51 works by 24 of Norway's most innovative and influential glass and ceramics artists. The exhibition demonstrates the dynamic developments in the field that have taken place in recent years. Exploring both figural and abstract themes, the exhibition includes objects representing a wide range of color, form, and function.
Some engage with figurative ornamentation and traditional forms like plates and vessels, while others explore more expressive, non-utilitarian themes. Breakable Art includes work by both established names such as Arne Jon Jutrem, one of the most prominent figures in Norwegian glass arts, and emerging young talents like Cathrine Maske and Kari Håkonsen.
