The Art of Bones

Artist list

Tobias Birgersson, Karl Hallberg, Jokum Lind Jensen, Heiner Zimmermann

Bone is one of humanity’s earliest materials and tools. Before industrial production and standardized equipment, bone carried both practical and symbolic functions — shaped into implements for cutting, scraping, piercing and ritual use. In Bones, this material history becomes a starting point. Bone appears both literally and metaphorically: as
structure, relic, fragment and witness.

Staying close to the language of material-based craft, Bones opens toward broader reflections on grief, remembrance and continuity.

In short, Bones is the prompt, and the artists’ works move between artefact and artwork, between utility and ritual object.

Bones brings together works by Jokum Lind Jensen, Karl Hallberg, Heiner Zimmermann and Tobias Birgersson in the Yellow and Black rooms at Not Quite Fengersfors.

Visit Not Quite:
Not Quite is a parrot in the forest. Not Quite is a silver thread in the rag board. Not Quite is a little bit of New York. In the middle of the Periphery. 

Welcome to Not Quite. Our public activities consist of exhibitions in Oceanhuset and Not Quite Gallery, Not Quite Butik, Not Quite Café as well as events of various kinds. The workshops are not open to the public as it is difficult for the artists to work then. However, it is possible to book a study visit or guided tour, and if there is a particular artist or craftsman you want to get in touch with, you can contact that person directly. Contact details for all members can be found under We are Not Quite.
