Homo Faber
Next of Europe
Curators – Jean Blanchaert – Stefano Boeri
Discover the richness of Europe’s
crafts heritage through this
celebration of contemporary master
artisans who are not only creating objects
of exception but also passing on their precious skills to talented young
craftspeople. From Poland to France
to Italy to Wales - these European
living treasures, represented by their unique
artworks, hail from every corner and use techniques passed down from
generation to generation which are inextricably linked to the region they live
in. Displayed
as though in a contemporary cabinet of
curiosities, they reveal the breadth and depth of talent and skill among craftspeople working in Europe today.
