Öppen föreläsning på engelska med Matti Klenell i Steneby Samlingssal 8/4 kl 19.
”Jag tänkte prata om vad det är som gör att jobbet som formgivare får mening. Vikten av att inte alltid göra det ”rätta” utan hänge sig åt saker som kanske inte ger pengar men utvecklar på andra plan. Att våga vara modig och inte ge upp och att hitta sin egen väg i alltsammans. Med utgångspunkt ifrån mig själv och mitt eget arbete.”
Matti Klenell är opponent på masterprogrammet, HDK Steneby. Han är verksam i Stockholm med en bred och varierande kundkrets.
Regardless of whether it’s an object for mass production or a one-off art item, he approaches the task with the same curiosity. Matti seems equally at home in both situations. Officially he is classed as interior designer, trained at Konstfack (the Swedish School of Arts, Crafts and Design), but over the years he has had a number of one-man exhibitions of his art glassware. It is working within such different fields that helps him maintain his levels of quality and innovation. His experiments in artworks have spawned unconventional design concepts, while the practical demands of industrial production have taught him the importance of self-discipline, of having something emerge from his hands. From that pencil. -Mark Isitt
