Monumentality - Fragility, this means the same thing. The same sky everywhere, although different by Kadri Mälk.
Monumentality and Fragility are two words of inspiration proposed by the BeCraft (formerly WCC-BF) in order to inaugurate the thematic edition of the European Prize for Applied Arts. Delicate robustness, provocative innocence, abundance and vulnerability… the artists take at his word this antithesis or deflect it by using a contrast sometimes plastic, sometimes esthetic, social, environmental,… Unwavering spokesmen, they ally the esthetic sensibility of our contemporary society to the secular know-hows' respect in order to answer this theme which raises the existential question of the self, the others and the World.
