Hnoss Initiative

Hnoss Initiative

Hnoss Gallery, starting in 1997, was engaged in international jewellery in it´s own exhibition space at Konstepidemin Göteborg Sweden. The gallery was run by a group of 9 locally resident jewellery artists, all educated at the School of Design and Craft at University of Gothenburg.

In autumn 2011, in spite of many brilliant exhibitions, the gallery space was closed. After this the group is continuing the work under the name Hnoss Initiative.  Exhibitions have been curated in collaboration with institutions such as the Gustavsberg Konsthall, Röhsska Museum and Konstepidemin Gallery. Lectures and workshops have been organized together with HDK and IASPIS (International Artist Studio Program in Sweden).
Hnoss Initiative is working towards the same aim as before - to be a forum to display and increase knowledge of international contemporary jewellery and be a meeting place for the artists, the students and the audiences.

Hnoss Initiative is run by the jewellery artists: Lena Olson, Tore Svensson, Karin Johansson, Cecilia Johansson, Mona Wallström, Linda Marie Karlsson, Carolina Claesson, Maria Ylander, Åsa Christensson
