Rasmus Nossbring
AISHO is pleased to present “Cavalcade of Memories,” the first solo exhibition in Japan by Stockholm-based Swedish artist Rasmus Nossbring, on view from January 9 to February 7.
In this exhibition Rasmus Nossbring ongoing exploration of memory, material history, and the layered narratives carried by objects.
Working primarily with glass, Nossbring brings together hand-sculpted glass elements and found decorative objects to create a unique sculptural narrative. Objects from different timelines and social hierarchies intersect, allowing stories to collide, overlap, and transform. Each component enters the work already charged with history — a charge that continues to accumulate as materials are combined and recontextualized.
For his first solo exhibition in Japan, Nossbring introduces photographic imagery captured during his first visit to Tokyo in 2023. Integrated into the glass sculptures, these images enter into dialogue with the collected and hand-worked components, adding contemporary layer to the work and situating personal experience alongside historical reference.
Although the sculptures resist conventional function, they are deeply engaged with use, memory, and presence. Joy and playfulness are immediately apparent in the work, but beneath the surface lies a complex structure of color, form, and reflection. Nossbring’s visual language draws from expressive American studio glass, pop art, realism, industrial processes, and traditional glassmaking techniques.
Many of the materials or inspirations used in the exhibition originate from flea markets, thrift shops, and auctions — objects often overlooked or dismissed as souvenirs or decoration. Through careful assembly and advanced joining techniques, Nossbring reveals the hidden lives of these objects, allowing new histories to emerge.
Nossbring has been working with glass from an early age, training at Rejmyre Glassworks before graduating from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. With a background that spans both industrial production and contemporary art, his work is supported by a careful balance between technical precision and intentional spontaneity. At the core of Nossbring’s practice lies a deep respect for materials, craftsmanship, and the histories embedded within objects.
This exhibition presents glass as a “living archive.” Humorous, poetic, and infused with political awareness, Nossbring’s works are formed through layers of memory, time, and lived experience. We warmly invite you to take this opportunity to experience his work.
