During SCHMUCK 2015 – EXPO ‘ADANSONIA DIGITATA’ – Schraudolphstraße 16, Munich (DE) – 12-15 Mars 2015

ADANSONIA DIGITATA

At some point you look in the mirror and ask: who is this person? What happened on the way, how did you get there? Did you grow up?
Is this still you or is this somebody else?
You look to this image from different angles, like from somebody else’s viewpoint. You reflect. Who do you see?

Arnaud Sprimont My Body Is A Chaotic Forest Jesmonite, Nylon, Pigment

Using modern techniques, ranging from nano-scale imagery to satellite views, A. S. challenges the boundaries of his body and his perception of the world around him. The study of pseudomorphosisms is echoed in the perception of his own experiences. Reflecting and blending scales back and forth,the infinitely large finds meaning in the infinitely small, where an abyss of possibilities opens itself up to him.
 Silke Fleischer HOLD ON 2/7 Steel, Brass, Cotton

I’ve got seven ways of going,
I’ve got seven ways to be,
I’ve got seven sweet disguises,
I’ve got seven ways of being me …
Patti Smith – The histories of the universe lie in the sleeping sex of a woman
Number 7 has a biblical significance and it also corresponds to the days of the week, repeating themselves endlessly in a loop… – over and over and over … . A repetition that is being reflected in the new work by Silke Fleischer, as the routine of the everyday. The presented jewellery works refer to settings and actions and are questioning a break through this daily routine.

Peter Vermandere Protrusions & Penetrations Aluminium

P. V. works with real matter. He is a firm believer in serendipity, he makes unforeseen discoveries while (re)searching something else. Maybe because of his name (Gr. Petros = rock) or maybe because of childhood memories, his main inspirational starting point is stone and the various geological processes by which rocks are formed. He even tries to make his favorite metal, aluminium, look like stone.

Carine Van Landeghem Kaleidoscope Wood
My work offers the observer different aspects, opinions and views on the eidos (shape, stature). It reflects what the mind wants it to be.

opening of CONSEQUENCE, 12th of March, at 19:00

Artist list : Helena Lehtinen, Eija Mustonen, Tarja Tuupanen

Hibernate group is founded in 1999 and it is formed by three Finnish jewelry artists; Helena Lehtinen, Eija Mustonen and Tarja Tuupanen. The group members mostly work individually, separately; but they get together to give feedback and criticism.Recent years Hibernate has been silent, hibernating.
In order to wake up from hibernation, it started a project with the title « Craft and tradition ».
The project has gone as following;
Each artist made two pieces about the topic « Craft and tradition ».
Then the group met and discussed, each artist gave her two pieces to two other members of the group. Everyone had now two new pieces made by others.
Then one reacted to both of these two pieces with individual works.
This was repeated 6 times.
In the end there is 36 studies about the topic. Plus consequences.

Sigurd Bronger Pendant: Carrying device for a haematite ball, 2014

«  »It is almost 10 years since I had a exhibition at Galerie Ra, Amsterdam. So for this exhibition, I constructed different carrying devices that relates to the issue “in between”. I have chosen to use some of the same material  I used in my earlier exhibitions at Ra. Materials like: Egg, different stones, cactus spike, diamond, shell, and so on. There are some new materials as well; which I have not used before. Many of the carrying devices have a construction that holds the material in between the construction. The issue of in between  can also be seen upon the space between the material and the construction, and in some of the pieces they contain different spaces in between the material itself. Some of the new pieces can be placed in between functional jewellery art  and objects. »  Sigurd Bronger

« Sigurd Bronger has made a collection of rings, booches and pendants called ‘Carrying Devices’. The collective theme In Between refers to the construction of this jewellery which incorporates a specific material or object secured in a holder. Sigurd either constructs this holder himself or makes it from existing artefacts. While the materials secured in these holders were previously natural in nature, such as an egg, a stone or a shell, nowadays he also uses materials from medical science or technology. The contrast between the generally robust steel holder and the fragile or delicate item this holds generates an amusing absurdity. With some pieces a magnifying glass ‘In Between’ the viewer and the object creates extra focus. For this collection Sigurd has once again reused an iconic piece of jewellery by an artist colleague, the Chewing Gum Brooch by Ted Noten. Sigurd Bronger’s work positions itself ‘In Between’ wearable jewellery and art objects »
