EXPO ‘Jewellery by Winfried Krüger’ – Pforzheim Jewellery Museum, Pforzheim (Germany) – 19 Juill.-19 Oct. 2014

Jewellery by Winfried Krüger  -

Well-defined contours, audacious shapes and surfaces, as well as playful contrasts, are only a few of the features that characterize the pieces of jewellery created by Winfried Krüger (*1944) — whether they are crafted from pure silver, from enamel or paper.

The wide variety of stimulating impressions in his surroundings is far too inspiring to limit himself to certain materials only, or to a single subject-matter. This goldsmith and jewellery designer worked as an instructor at the Technical College of Pforzheim’s Goldsmithing School until 2011 and was awarded the Baden-Württemberg State Prize for Arts and Crafts in 1992.

EXPO ‘SOLOƧ – NEVER ODD OR EVEN’ Part III – Platina Gallery, STOCKHOLM (SE) – 23 Aout-20 Sept. 2014

MÄRTA MATTSSON – TANEL VEENRE
SOLOƧ – NEVER ODD OR EVEN PART III
OPENING SATURDAY 23RD OF AUGUST 14-17h
WELCOME!

 

 [palindrome] is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of symbols or elements, whose meaning may be interpreted the same way in either forward or reverse direction.
Many believe that symmetrical objects have an inner harmony, and value them for this. In nature, symmetry is approximate. For example, plant leaves, while considered symmetric, rarely match up exactly when folded in half. If there is no such thing as perfect symmetry in nature, can we find perfection in imperfections? What happens when two artists decide to mirror their own work but also reflect and bounce off each other’s visual language? Tanel Veenre and Märta Mattsson have been working on a set of exhibitions based on palindromes during 2014. In the exhibition, Solos – Never Odd or Even, Part III at Platina they have developed two new series of work, Heartology and Phantoms. Their new pieces has been created under an echo of two minds exploring the contradictory meanings of symmetry in nature and life

 MÄRTA MATTSSON
PHANTOMS

A shadow is relative darkness caused by light rays being intercepted by an opaque body. It is an indication that something has been present and it can appear like a ghostlike figure. I am facinated by the human mind and the duality that excist within people. The light side and the dark side and all the grey areas inbetween and within the human mind is what thrives me as an artist. Shadows are like a distorted palindrome of oneself… It is what hides behind the surface. – Märta MattssonMÄRTA MATTSSON – Phantoms1 – Wood, flower, resin, iron, silver, crushed stone

TANEL VEENRE
HEARTOLOGY
Heart is an archetype, distilled shape full of meanings and myths. Usually most perfect symmetrical form, ultimate palindrome. I have been driven by hearts for a long time, but for this exhibition I decided to get clear – I have to carve a heart every day to get into kind of mental state where I am led mainly by my intuition. I didn’t want to construct or combine, it should be more like a purifying process. – Tanel Veenre
