Jewellery has always been a way to show cultural identity, belonging, status or views. ALLA is a project where 30 jewellery artists living in Sweden have created unique brooches as a reaction to the theme of xenophobia. These brooches will be taken on a journey from northern to southern Sweden between the 25-27th of October. Read more: www.allaallaalla.se

Jewellery Unleashed!

admin — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 09:57:16 +0000

curator: Liesbeth den Besten from 05.11.2011 till 05.02.2012.2011
In Novembre the Museum Voor Moderne Kunst Arnhem presents the exhibition Unleashed!, an overview of rule-breaking jewellery. In this state-of-the-art overview, pieces of jewellery will break out of the museum cases and be scattered over the walls and floors and decorate streets and squares. From small imaginative brooches to portraits of pop-stars woven from strings of pearls and meters-high pieces interwoven with street furniture: in Unleashed! an international community of jewellery designers shows that the possibilities and applications of jewellery are almost boundless.
Art Jewellery Unleashed! is an exhibition featuring jewellery with connections to the visual arts, fashion and design: art jewellery. This type of jewellery has developed worldwide over the past forty to fifty years. Since the end of the 1960s, the Netherlands has played an important role in this development -— a reason for the MMKA to collect and present these pieces of jewellery from the beginning.

There are pieces on display from artists like: Natalya Pinchuk (United States), Lisa Walker (New Zealand), Pia Aleborg (Sweden), Mia Maljojoki (Finland / Munich), Mari Keto (Finland / Copenhagen), Suska Mackert (Germany / Hamburg), Christian Hoedl (Austria / Munich), Celio Braga (Brazil/ Amsterdam), Frédéric Braham (France), Jiro Kamata (Japan /Germany), and Lucy Sarneel, Liesbeth Bussche, and Erik Kuiper from the Netherlands.

This is the first time in many years that work by international jewellery designers has been displayed in the Netherlands on such a scale. (The last large international exhibition was Facet at the Kunsthal Rotterdam in 1993.

Metadomestic

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 08:35:39 +0000

Curator: Monica Gaspar The exhibition event Metadomestic will be opened at the Landesgalerie Linz in 22nd September 2011. Metadomestic sets out to explore current responses to the notion of applied art today and its impact in the discourse of art and design. The exhibition attempts to revise and mobilize the role of objects, their aesthetics and performance in the very particular microcosm of the contemporary home. In the hands of contemporary artists and designers/makers the term ‘applied’ has adopted a renewed currency, able to operate aesthetic interferences in everyday life and to bring the perplexing encounter between people and ‘things’ at the forefront of its purpose. Taking inspiration from the short story by Georges Perec “approaches to what?” (L’Infraordinaire, 1977) the exhibition will bring together the work by several reknown artists and designers that answer to this question. Metadomestic invites the public to challenge their conventions on what they do understand under “applied” and develop new readings while discovering contemporary positions in a multidisciplinary approach to object-based practices. Participating artists: Pia Aleborg, Martin Arnold, Barnaby Barford, Sebastian Brajkovic, David Clarke, Gemma Draper, Anthony Dunne & Fiona Raby, Martino Gamper, Bauke Knottnerus, Thomas Mailaender, Yuka Oyama, Georges Perec, Anders Ruhwald, Veronika Schubert, Ola Simonsson & Johannes Stjärne Nilsson, Studio Makkink & Bey.
