Transparency and mediation were the twinned themes of our 2011 international artist residency and workshop. The project, hosted for the first time by the newly formed structure of Rejmyre Art LAB, marked the fourth year of artists and designers re-activating spaces formerly used by the Rejmyre Glassworks, founded in 1810 and still in operation. An interdisciplinary group, composed of jewelry, glass, sculpture, photo and media artists, architects and artist curators, came together around a practice-based exploration of the twinned notions of transparency and mediation.
