EXPO ‘Ramon Puig Cuyàs : Crossing Points’ – Galerie Spektrum, Munich (Germany) – 11 Mai-29 Juin 2013

Ramon Puig Cuyàs: Crossing Points. Works 1997-2013   

The exhibition presents more than 30 pieces of jewellery produced over an extended period of time. Although the works from these years vary with regard to form and material, they are linked together via a common thread. The unifying concept is in the way the artist handles, examines and organizes the material. The construction of the pieces reflects experiences that are translated into works of art.
Using the technique of assemblage, the artist joins kaleidoscopic fragments of various objects and materials into fragile compositions. Thus, they create a fragmented vision of reality and of our own poetic universe.
The direct approach to the material, the exploration of its possibilities and inherentcharacteristics opens the door to the accidental and the unexpected. It also leads toflexibility and subjectivity in the artistic expression. The less defined the results are, the more room there is for interpretation. In this way, each piece has turned into a functioning model containing many possibilities: A work of art emerges that keeps projecting itself forward.

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.

During the exhibition ‘Framed by Ted Noten’ in the new stedelijk museum in Den Bosch there you will have the oppotunity to swap your ring for a Miss Piggy in our Wanna Swap project !   Ted Noten Installation: WANNA SWAP YOUR RING? 3d printed glass filled nylon 500 Miss Piggy rings presented in the shape of a gun.

EXPO ‘EMBUDOS DEL ALMA’ – Amarantojoies, Barcelona (ES) – 21mai-31Juill. 2013

Paula Estrada Matyasova   Muy feliz de compartir con todos mi último trabajo « EMBUDOS DEL ALMA » en el próximo enmarcado en AMARANTO JOIES

 Quien ha visto su alma?…. pero aun así creemos que la tenemos!
 La sentimos, creemos conocerla, creemos contenerla, o algunos pueden creer que es tan grande que sale del cuerpo.
Sobre el alma todo se ha dicho… si esta en el cuerpo, si es esa voz que nos habla, si esta en la cabeza, en mi pecho, en mi ombligo… o está en el corazón?
Pero al final….. solo sabemos que está Ahí!….  Es un acto de FE.
Mi alma y tu alma tiene todas sus memorias, tiene todo de mi, tiene todo de ti, tiene grabados mis trayectos, mis verdades,  mis dolores…. Y de allí es que salen los EMBUDOS DEL ALMA.
Los embudos …Trayectos cargados de armonía o caos, expansivos o  constrictivos…. Canales por donde fluimos y el alma va pasando de estado en estado…. Pasamos de  estados de infinita paz a estados de intranquilidad, de enredos y engaños a estados de felicidad y tranquilidad…. Al alma entran y del alma salen infinitos embudos….
Cuantas veces lo ancho para mi y lo estrecho para ti  o cuantas veces lo ancho para ti y lo estrecho para mi.
Paula Estrada Matyášová.

Coup de Coeur : Ursula Woerner

Let us be SOPHISTICATED with Ursula Woerner

Ursula Woerner – sophistication (one of her series’ name)

Ursula Woerner -  sophistication

Ursula Woerner – sophistication

Ursula Woerner – sophistication

Allhough she is German by birth, Ursula Woerner spent 3/4 of her life living outside her own country. This changed her perception of her heritaged culture and origin and sharpend her vision and feeling for national identity. The collection of jewelry started in 2005 plays with some real german elements which is found in the traditional german jewelry the ‘Trachtenschmuck’ supplies inspiration. The idea of looking back at your roots without a sentimental feeling of ‘Heimweh’ and by means of transforming and using found objects the artist creates a delicate and playful new series of jewelry.

 Natural elements such as forms of leaves, stones, animal figures, shapes of islands, bones, bacterias and microorganisms fused into a new series of jewelscalled ‘flora-sierend’.
By adding other materials, drilling holes, blackening the silver, setting stones and stringing beads the objects grow out of the natural world into abstact rings, broches, necklaces and earrings.
