KL!NK has 12 members, all with a Master degree in Visual Arts, specializing in the field of jewellery and metalwork. The group was created in 2009, based on the common wish to create a platform for exchange of new ideas and concepts, as well as curating group exhibitions. The variety of expressions within the group is wide, ranging from jewellery to sculptures, and wall pieces. KL!NK had their first international exhibition in Finland this year at DesignForum.
…If I was to describe KL!NKs relation to their use of found materials it must be Upcycling. The goal being that of taking a worthless material and upgrade it to a higher value than what it originally had. It should be visible that the material has gone through a time-consuming and craftsmanlike refinement. In this lays a manifestation of the craft; where the artisan, through knowing their trade and rely on their aesthetic reflections, have the power to give the waste both artistic and economic value, so that it in the end reflects upon and comment the consumer society…
