  • In late September Anders Ruhwald was awarded the Gold Prize at the Gyeonggi International Biennale 2011, Icheon World Ceramic Center in South Korea. The award worth roughly 20.000 USD is given for the work titled “The State of Things No. 2″ and is one of the largest awards given internationally to artist working with ceramics. The award ceremony took place during the opening of the Biennale on September 23th 2011.
  • In June Anders Ruhwald completed one of his most extensive installations at the Denver Art Museum for the show Overthrown in the Anschutz Gallery inside the new Liebeskind Building. The installation called “like the new past” is an optic walk-in tableau in which an area of the gallery has been tiled with about 7500 blue and orange glazed ceramic tiles. On these tiles eight grey objects are placed. Each relate to various utilitarian object experiences and explores our haptic relationship to functional things.
  • The British Design company Established and Sons launched their collection 7 at the Versace Theatre during the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan. For this Anders Ruhwald has designed three table lamps. These lamps- called the Glaze lamps- are Ruhwald’s first foray into design and the lamps will be available globally.
  • The Detroit Institute of Art has acquired a substantial grouping of work from the exhibition “You will see” at the Lemberg Gallery. The grouping consisting of five individual objects comprises that largest museum purchase in Anders Ruhwald’s career so far. The work is now installed at the DIA and will be on display till the end of the year.
  • The exhibition “Kabinett 3″ with Dana DeGiulio and Marie Torbensdatter Hermann at Devening Projects in Chicago was recently reviewed by Claudine Ise on Artforum.com.  You can read the article here.
  • Anders Ruhwald has been awarded a three year working stipend from the Danish Art Foundation. The three working stipends are awarded by the Danish Art Foundation to artists that through their artistic production have shown extraordinary talent. The idea behind these substantial stipends is that artists for a period can work with their art without the need to have an income from non-artistic work.
    The awards are awarded by working artists and designers appointed by the Danish Ministry of Culture and the Danish Art Foundation and is special in the way that it is given to artists by artists.
