30 Selected Artists at LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize 2024
Published: 05.03.2024
Debaroun (Dahyeon Yoo)
Object: Harmony, 2023
Vegetable tanned leather
25 x 13 x 13 cm
Straw weaving and plaiting techniques from the Korean Joseon Dynasty have been reinterpreted in leather to create this poised box that contrasts rough and smooth in a complex interplay of textures. Supple vegetable-tanned leather has been soaked, and twisted to create multiple strands, then delicately woven to form an intricate base and lid with a timeless quality. The work emphasizes the importance of harmony and embodies an attitude seeking inner balance and centering in a rapidly changing world. While each individual strand is fragile, when woven together they become strong and resilient. Wrinkles and unevenness in texture, usually viewed as flaws, are instead celebrated as a testament to the natural origins of the leather.

LOEWE FOUNDATION announces the 30 artists shortlisted for the 2024 edition of the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize. The finalists’ works will be exhibited at Palais de Tokyo in Paris from 15 May until 9 June 2024.
The works selected for the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize shortlist will go on display at Palais de Tokyo in Paris from 15 May to 9 June 2024. Many of the works repurpose found or recycled materials and there is a focus on the elevation and transformation of the every day, such as rubber tyres and compressed wood, which are not traditionally associated with craft. A combination of skill and mastery of technique, guided by intuition and chance, has been utilised in the creation of several works on this year’s shortlist and many feature organic, biomorphic forms that push materials to their physical limits to present new configurations and unique shapes not seen before.
