Generation Glas is CFHILL's new exhibition at Skottorp Castle. Running until August 3rd, the exhibition is a dazzling exploration of contemporary glass art — where tradition meets experiment, and light breathes life into form. Generation Glas presents a rich panorama of poetic expression and technical innovation, featuring both pioneering artists and bold new voices.

One of the artists featured is , with works from his exhibition Ad Libitum at Kosta Boda Art Gallery fall 2024/spring 2025.

"The success of these objects relies on the dynamics of the team, their comfort with each other, with him, and with the process he has laid out. This is always the case in blown glass design objects, but Klenell’s approach amplifies and requires this dynamic more than most. Because unlike other designers, who call on skilled artisans to translate their work from the page to the hot shop more or less directly, Klenell’s scores leave spaces for improvisation, little 'breathing spaces' that require the glassblower to work beyond the well-worn grooves of the known."

–Susie J. Silbert about Ad Libitum

Skottorp Castle is located a short drive from Torekov and Båstad in Skåne, welcome to experience Generation Glas until August 3rd.

Welcome June and a brand-new Crackle Edition Artist by Åsa Jungnelius.

The Crackle Edition Artist pieces are mouth-blown in Kosta and made in editions of five unique, numbered pieces, signed by the artist. Crackle defies preconceptions and makes a glassblower’s nightmare - cracked glass - its hallmark. Here it is used to give the object beauty and character. The clay mold is hollowed out by hand and the cracked surface is formed using a historical technique where the hot glass is dipped in ice-cold water. The result is a series of products whose expression changes depending on perspective and distance, and which are reminiscent of sculptures made of colored or clear ice.
