“Glass Tableware in Still Life” is a Swedish-Japanese interdisciplinary art project that links visual art with glass craftsmanship in enriching dialogue. Nine Swedish and nine Japanese visual artists collaborate with glass artist Yoko Andersson Yamano to create glass objects for the set table, for their still life paintings.

The artists gave each Andersson Yamano a description of the glass they would like to paint, communicated only with words - no drawings or pictures - to create the best possible starting point for interpretation, imagination and creativity.

Andersson Yamano has since interpreted each artist's assignment and the result is unique glass objects in clear glass. The artists then paint a still life painting based on the newly created glass object in their artistic technique and expression.

The nine Swedish artists who will be exhibiting at Kajsa and Olle Nymans are:
