Mindcraft Exhibition ‘In Between’ by GamFratesi
Mindcraft with GamFratesi Design Studio is an exhibition concept showcasing some of Denmark’s most talented craftspeople and designers. The curated exhibition demonstrates the qualities, potential and versatility of new Danish craft and design. The idea behind Mindcraft is so to explore the span between experimentation, innovative conceptual design, and sublime artistic-cum-technical proficiency in Danish craft and design. The Mindcraft exhibition is organized by the Danish Arts Foundation and the Danish Agency for Culture (2008-2013 organized by Danish Crafts). For this year’s edition, curators Stine Gam & Enrico Fratesi of GamFratesi Design Studio have framed the Mindcraft concept within the exhibition theme: ‘In Between’ – presented during the Milan Design Week, 14-19 April 2015.

“We chose the theme ‘In Between’ because it reflects the fact that Danish craftspeople and designers work in a field of tension in between mind and craft. This exhibition covers the full range, including developed ideas, conceptual qualities and sublime artistic technical accomplishments, coupled with a unique understanding of material.” – GamFratesi
