Utställning New York, mars 2026

HB381 is delighted to announce Shimmering Real: Perception and the Spaces Between, a two-person exhibition by Camilla Iliefksi (b. 1970, Sweden) and Eva Zethraeus (b. 1971, Sweden). This exhibition brings together two artistic practices that have evolved in parallel over more than two decades. Rooted in a shared educational background at HDK School of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg, Sweden, the artists’ work is connected through an ongoing investigation of balance and imbalance, material sensitivity, and the interaction between color and organic form. Through distinct yet complementary material approaches, the exhibition stages a dialogue between the soft, tactile surfaces of hand-tufted textiles and the hard, undulating presence of porcelain. Despite their material differences, the works articulate a common visual and conceptual language grounded in process, detail, and a deep commitment to craftsmanship. Rather than producing collaborative objects, the artists work alongside one another from a shared thematic framework. The exhibition unfolds as a constellation of individual works that respond to and inform each other, creating a spatial and conceptual conversation in which contrasts — soft and hard, fluid and structured, intuitive and controlled — are held in productive tension. Together, the works form a cohesive whole that reflects both shared concerns and distinct artistic voices.
