Quality

ACAB is identifiable with great diversity, where quality is paramount, and the submitted works lie in perfect alignment with this philosophy. The new works have been weighted by ACABS definition of Bornholm craftsmanship, a definition on which the external assessment committee has based its decisions.

- A professional criteria where great craftsmanship, innovative renewal of traditions and perseverance in the corresponding field is considered an essential  requirement.

- An aesthetic criteria where superior artistic quality and an experimental and curiosity laden approach to the artistic work is prioritised. The use of materials is encouraged to surprise and express innovation.

- An idea based criteria where the works must have a personal, original expression and show artistic idea, intensity, presence and will.

- An environmental criteria, particularly implemented in connection with serial production and industrial design, a criteria where awareness is emphasized in regards to environmental and social consequences in the production.

- The Artisan permanently lives on Bornholm.

Dorthe Møller Paulsen, Head of Secretariat, ACAB
