EXPO ‘FRAMED – by Ted Noten’ – Stedelijk Museum, s-Hertogenbosch (NL) – 25 Mai–20 Sept. 2013
FRAMED – by Ted Noten
Ted Noten (Tegelen, 1956) is frequently seen as the enfant terrible of the Dutch jewellery world, but his innovative attitude has earned him considerable international respect too. He is acting as guest curator for the FRAMED exhibition, which will explore his own network of inspirations in conjunction with his own work.
The focus is on themes like greed, emptiness, beauty, mortality and intimacy. Ted Noten will string together a necklace of works by high-profile artists like Damien Hirst, Wim Delvoye and Marina Abramovic, texts by Marcel Duchamp and Charles Bukowski, jewellery by Elsa Schiaparelli and Otto Künzli, and a film sequence by Wim Wenders. Francis Bacon’s painting Fragment of a Crucifixion will be one of the highlights, while ethnographic objects like a decorated skull from Papua New Guinea, a tiny string of pearls and a gold dildo all feature too.
The exhibition ‘FRAMED by Ted Noten’ offers an insight into the designer’s intellectual and emotional world. The selection of his own work includes his famous Prada bag with gold pistol. His latest jewellery collection, ‘Seven Necessities’, and the interactive installation ‘Wanna Swap’ will also be shown in the Netherlands for the first time.
