EXPO ‘ZWARD: Uniform Haze’ – Beyond Fashion, Antwerp (BE) – 8 Mai-28 Juin 2014

ZWARD: Uniform Haze

ZWARD is a collaboration of Kirsten Spuijbroek (jewelry designer) and Jelmer Noordeman (illustrator).

 ZWARD – Ring: Burnt – Resin – 24 x 24 x 14 mm

ZWARD – Necklace: Deconstructed Geometrics Part One – Resin

 During this exhibition ZWARD shows one-offs – limited and unlimited edition jewelry. The works are generally realized in resin, in combination with precious metals. They stand for contemporary craft. Resin is a beautiful and versatile material, which makes highly detailed designs possible.
By playing with lines, transparency and color, surprising « Smoke-like » patterns emerge. At first glance nothing is what it seems to be. Previously ZWARD was inspired by the link between childhood and adulthood, focusing on toys as a main inspiration.
Their latest work is about leaving this nostalgia behind by deconstructing and destroying toys, and creating something new out of their “ashes”. ZWARD’s latest pieces deal with breaking bonds. By digging deeper into the nature of the material the wearer is being deceived and confuses the viewer’s eye.

EXPO ‘Danner Rotunde. Neu Kuratiert von Otto Künzli’ – Die Neue Sammlung – The International Design Museum, Munich (DE) – 14 Mars 2014 – 14 Mars 2015

Danner Rotunde. Neu Kuratiert von Otto Künzli

Die Neue Sammlung – The International Design Museum
(Munich, Germany)
14-Mar-2014 – 14-Mar-2015

In 2014 ten years of jewellery in the Pinakothek der Moderne are celebrated with a new, ‘revisited’ exhibition in the Danner Rotunda – open to the public as of March 15.

Since 2004 Die Neue Sammlung has incorporated contemporary jewellery in the Pinakothek der Moderne in its permanent display in the Danner Rotunda as well as in temporary exhibitions. As such, one of the most multifaceted artistic forms of expression today is permanently being presented in a museum of this type for the first time alongside art, architecture, graphic works and design.

The Danner Rotunda forms a central core in which exhibits by more than one hundred jewellery artists from around the world are shown – thanks to the commitment of the Danner Foundation with its extensive collection and private donors, as well as gifts from individual jewellery makers.

The first presentation was curated by Prof. Hermann Jünger, the director of the jewellery class at the Munich Art Academy between 1972 and 1990, together with Otto Künzli who took over the professorship in 1991. Through the revamping of the Danner Rotunda in 2010, Karl Fritsch – as the representative of a younger generation – set a completely new accent.

Subsequently Otto Künzli was once again overhauling the collection for the reopening of the Danner Rotunda in 2014 which includes exhibits solely from the Danner Foundation’s and the museum’s own holdings without any loans. Whilst forming a link to the concept of the initial installation, the protagonists in the international world of jewellery are shown in a new light, reciprocal effects can be highlighted, associations provoked and dynamic correlations created between the works.

This comprehensive exhibition ties together the multifaceted career and work of Susie Ganch, Associate Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and Director of Radical Jewelry Makeover. An accomplished jeweler and sculptor, Ganch has staked a unique career with trifold contributions to the field of Craft. As a university educator, she trains the next generation of jewelers and metalsmiths; as a practicing artist, she pushes the boundaries of jewelry and sculpture through material, design, and function; as a director of the Radical Jewelry Makeover project, she creates community events that encourage our consideration of the social and environmental impacts of mining and jewelry production through the creation of innovative jewelry made from recycled sources.Susie Ganch: TIED includes two galleries of Ganch’s independent work and one gallery devoted to her collaborative project, Radical Jewelry Makeover (RJM).  This RJM installation includes work by 22 well-known jewelers from across the United States who participated in previous RJM events as well as jewelry made by regional RJM artists and local VCU students.As an outreach program of the nonprofit Ethical Metalsmiths, Radical Jewelry Makeover (RJM) is an innovative community-mining project that raises awareness of the connection between mining, metalsmithing, activism, collaboration and art. The project is both performance and event, linking recycling, reuse and collaborative work sessions with the creation of unique, innovative, handmade jewelry. To learn more about RJM and the artists involved in this exhibition, visit: radicaljewelrymakeover.org and susieganch.com.

http://akisgoumas-diadromes.blogspot.gr/

Akis Goumas ’ statement :
The process of designing α piece of jewelry or an object is a journey in time. I follow a path through emotions, concepts and images. It is an ensemble of elements powered by memories, experiences and myths. My work is a medium through which I communicate with other people.
I enjoy observing natural structures and studying prehistoric findings from the Aegean region with a group of archaeologists.
The pieces that I make are three dimensional compositions/objects, designed to be worn.
Techniques, materials, colors and textures are the language through which I express myself during these journeys of creating.

EXPO ‘Jorge Manilla. Morbid Moves’ – Centre del Carmen, Valencia (ES) – 8-11 Mai 2014 – Melting Point Valencia 2014

«Jorge Manilla. Morbid Moves»   forma parte del recorrido de exposiciones de Melting Point 2014 del 8 al 11 de mayo.

8 mayo/11 mayo

Melting Point Valencia 2014

Inauguración: 9 mayo, 12.00 h

« … mi exposicion MORBID MOVES en el Centro del Carmen en Valencia, … es parte del resultado del trabajo hecho para mi projecto de doctorado PhD. Que se llama « Other Bodies.. »« 

« El objetivo de esta serie es evidenciar la expresión corporal por medio de movimientos.
Movimientos que son solo el producto de mi imaginación, en los cuales pienso, analizo e interpreto por medio de materiales. Fragmentación siempre ha jugado un papel importante en mi trabajo y mi pregunta central en la realización de esta serie fue ¿cómo puedo unir nuevamente esa fragmentación que durante años fue fundamental en mi obra?
Usando madera como material empecé a desgarrarla, a tallarla, a darle formas y movimientos que a primera vista parecen libres, pero en realidad no lo son, movimientos mórbidos en formas de facetas, marcas de los cuchillos que las cortaron representando de esta manera la metafísica de la obscenidad humana. A través estos movimientos morbosos quiero penetrar en el lado obscuro de cada ser y por medio de las uniones crear un mundo de imágenes idealizadas en el cual los seres humanos no solo son fragmentos.. si no que se convierten nuevamente en una identidad.«  Jorge Manilla (2014)
