Rebekah Frank: Solo Exhibition

Rebekah Frank creates wire and chain necklaces that define inner and outer spaces. Flexible drawings which conform to the body when worn, their hard materials morphing into a flowing, undulating play of lines.

Portable Pleasures: When Intimacy becomes Public

« The series of jewels, Portable Pleasures seeks to challenge the notions of intimacy and the public realm, two aspects that are involved in the act of wearing jewellery in society.

In my Master’s project, I investigate how jewellery, intended as an ‘apparatus’ of communication and disorientation, offer both to the wearer and viewer, to challenge social conventions in regards to the feminine and the masculine. What happens when a shape reminds us of an intimate area of the human body and is displaced to the public sphere, in the form of a jewel?

The act of decorating the body with these jewels leaves the viewer with no choice but to cross the boundary of the wearer’s intimacy. Can this act create a new order of connectivity and communication between the wearer of a jewellery piece and the viewer that is forced to confront it ? »

EXPO ‘SONTOB – Dinah Lee’ – La Basilica Gallery, Barcelona (ES) – 29 Mai- 8 Juill. 2014

SONTOB – La palabra coreana para « uña » (the Korean word for « nail »)

SONTOB by Dinah Lee / Exhibition Opening inauguration jeudi 29 mai à 19:00

« It will cut, scratch and pry yet will also chip, break and tear…the fingernail grows and grows, relentlessly, even for a brief (and creepy) time after death. »

SONTOB explores the simultaneity of the ancient and the modern, the superstitious and the scientific as viewed through contemporary jewelry. The investigation into the human hand as seen through Korean art and culture led to focus (and infatuate) on the fingernail. The rich, symbolic history as well as the enduring contemporary significance make the fingernail a complex proposition. The final forms are references to the hand gestures from 18th Century Korean paintings. By using the ‘fingernail’ shapes to render the abstracted fingers the pieces have a familiar yet unfamiliar reality to them. They exist in between machine made and organic, between high tech and antique, alien yet earthy.

EXPO ‘Multiple Exposures : Jewelry and Photography’ – MAD Museum, New York (USA) – 13 Mai-14 Sept. 2014

« Multiple Exposures »

exhibition at Museum of Arts and Design (MAD Museum), New York, featuring:
JANTJE FLEISCHHUT — MARI ISHIKAWA — JIRO KAMATA and SHARI PIERCE.

 

Multiple Exposures: Jewelry and Photography is the first museum exhibition to explore how contemporary jewelry artists transform and add new meaning to the pervasive images of this digital age.  Drawing inspiration from historic daguerreotypes to manipulated digital images, international jewelry artists explore changing views of beauty and the human body; examine social, political, and cultural issues; probe perceptions of memory and desire; and question the broader relation of jewelry to society and personal identity, issues central to the contemporary experience.

 

More than 80 renowned artists from over 20 countries are represented —including

Gijs Bakker, Wafaa Bilal, Jordan Doner, Mari Ishikawa, Jiro Kamata, Sooyeon Kim, Iris Nieuwenburg, Kara Ross, Gabriela Sanchez, Bernhard Schobinger, Bettina Speckner,

Joyce Scott, Kiff Slemmons, Andy Warhol and Noa Zilberman.

 

The connection between photography and jewelry extends back more than 150 years to the invention of the photographic process.  The exhibition will provide historical context for this evolving relationship by presenting outstanding nineteenth-century pieces, many of which have never before been exhibited. In recent years, both photography and art jewelry have changed dramatically, and the exhibition will present cutting-edge videos and installations that will provide viewers a broader perspective of contemporary jewelry now.
Organized by MAD’s Curator of Jewelry, Ursula Ilse-Neuman, Multiple Exposures: Jewelry and Photography will be on view from May 13 to September 14, 2014.
Multiple Exposures: Jewelry and Photography will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by Ursula Ilse-Neuman, MAD’s Acting Chief Curator Lowery Stokes Sims, Dutch author and jewelry curator Liesbeth den Besten, photography expert Mark Durant, Curator of Decorative Arts at the Toledo Museum of Art Jutta Page, American author and Metalsmith editor Suzanne Ramljak, photography historian and critic Lyle Rexer and German author and critic Ellen Maurer Zillioli.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a full range of educational programming, including lectures and panels for adults, workshops for young visitors and families, in-house demonstrations of jewelry making, curator-led tours of the exhibition, and a variety of film screenings.
