Melting Point 2016. 
Joieria Contemporània València.

Este mes de abril la joyería contemporánea tiene una nueva cita en Valencia en la tercera edición de nuestra bienal internacional. Deseamos, desde la satisfacción que nos proporciona poder disfrutar otra vez de vuestra presencia, invitaros a visitar las exposiciones previstas, a participar en las actividades y conferencias programadas, a intercambiar ideas, compartir experiencias y profundizar en el debate sobre los retos que afrontan sus creadores.

La edición 2016 de Melting Point se plantea como objetivo ofrecer un panorama de la joyería actual rico y lleno de matices, capaz de reflejar la pluralidad de opciones y enfoques que caracterizan la creatividad de estas primeras décadas del siglo XXI. Con este espíritu se ha organizado en la Galería Tossal el homenaje a Marianne Gassier, coleccionista apasionada de joyas de vanguardia y mujer dinamizadora de la cultura joyera contemporánea a través de su blog de prestigio internacional (OH !! …) . Se ha preparado, igualmente, una exposición monográfica de la obra del estonio Tanel Veenre, cuyas piezas podréis contemplar en las salas nobles del Palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas. El Centre del Carme, por su parte, acoge la sección dedicada a los jóvenes creadores: Jorge Manilla, Edu Tarín (premio Talente 2016 y exalumno de la Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny de València), los participantes en Visible Wall y Página en blanco, o la muestra dedicada a jóvenes joyeros argentinos.
Y aún hay mucho más: contamos con Akis Goumas, Gisbert Stach, Judy McCaig, José Marín, Peter Bauhuis y los estudiantes de Alchimia, Eliana Negroni con Gioielli in Fermento, Juan Riusech y Alliages, Tomas Palos, Imma Gibert, Manel G. Ramiro, Jordi Aparicio, Joyas Sensacionales, Anna Maria Staiano …………

Por último, también deseamos celebrar con todos vosotros la consecución de uno de los grandes retos marcados por el Departament de Joieria de la EASD de València: la implantación en nuestro centro de los estudios de Grado/Bachellor en Joyería, únicos en España, que nos equiparan a otros países europeos. En este momento, estamos trabajando para ofrecer, igualmente, un Máster, que esperamos vea la luz en breve.

Nos vemos en Valencia, del 21 al 24 de abril para trabajar, pero también para compartir y disfrutar.

EXPO ‘TRUE LIES. A COLLECTION OF OXYMORONS’ – Září Gallery, Prague (CZ) – 16-20 Nov. 2015

TRUE LIES. A COLLECTION OF OXYMORONS.

A solo show by Federica SALA

Září Gallery, Prague – From November 16 to 20, 2015

OPENING ON NOVEMBER 16, 2015 FROM 7 TO 10PM

Alchimia is pleased to present True Lies. A Collection of Oxymorons, a solo-show by Italian jewellery artist Federica Sala. This marks the second in a series of solo exhibitions realized by the graduating students of Alchimia’s MFA program 2014/2015, each taking place in a different European city.

True Lies. A Collection of Oxymorons wants to question our perception of reality, inspired by Plato’s thoughts on how “reality is just a defective projection of our limited way of perceiving”*. Strong in look but extremely fragile in essence, the jewellery pieces encourage us to reflect about the inextricable co-dependency of opposites, and of how our existence might be determined by the limits we set for ourselves. Glass and stone become one entity growing from each other via a new and experimental technique developed by the artist in years of research on the island of Murano, world-famous for its artisanal glass production.
True Lies are impossible structures that point us towards the fragility of the reality we know, by sharing with us just one of the possible variations of it.
Federica Sala is one of the significant figures of a rising generation of Italian jewellery artists. Her practice is based on a continuous experimentation on the properties and qualities of materials, with a particular interest in glass and organic forms, grounded in a strong theoretical research. With this new collection Federica Sala introduced a unique approach in combining different materials such as metal, glass and gemstones. One of its pieces was nominated for the prestigious Stanislav Libenský Award.
On the occasion of the exhibition the artist will present an artist book, featuring drawings, images and a conversation with artist Luca Pozzi.

Federica Sala (b. 1986 Italy, lives and works in Milan) holds an MFA in Contemporary Jewellery and Body Ornament from Alchimia in Florence (2015) tutored by the Mexican jewellery maker Jorge Manilla, and a BFA in Fashion Design from the Politecnico in Milan (2011) tutored by the Italian anthropologist Eleonora Fiorani and the Italian artist Giorgio Vigna. From 2010 to 2012 she has been the assistant of Giorgio Vigna and her work has been exhibited at the Mad Museum in New York, at the American Glass Weekend, at the Society of Arts and Crafts in Boston and SOFA in Chicago, among the others.

   Irina Moise / PINKMOSS  « I like change, I always did. I think it represents this period of my life and I think I’m doing it consciously. »

Viktor Pavlov – “Fascinated by the qualities and the symbolical meaning of the gems I asked myself: why could not be created pieces of jewels having these characteristics but without using the real material of precious stones?”
Jewellery designer Viktor Pavlov, graduated in the “Metal” Department of the National Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria, often uses recycled materials with the aim is to reflect the problem of eco-fashion and to raise awareness toward the overuse of non-degradable materials.

Elena Ristovska – « I had one thing on my mind while I was creating this collection, to create a new planet. This planet is a place where, just for a brief moment you can hear your own voice, you can feel balanced rhythm of your heartbeat. »

 Velislava Urieva Bozhinova « With my work I want to represent the relationship between human and nature. Nature as an inspiration for the organic shapes of my works and the ready mades created by the human are the main keywords for my concept. »

 Raluca Buzura – “Being structured as an organized person, I wanted this time to go beyond and push my feelings to an irregular type of construction. It was more like an experiment over me, how much can you detach from a habit, a pattern that you got used to?”

AND « our » dear AAC jewellers (Alchimia Alumni Collective), will be present too, among others, with Akiko Ban, Anastasia Kandaraki, Andrea Coderch, Catalina Gibert, Chiara Cavallo, María Constanza Ochoa, Elisa Deval, Francesco Coda, Karin Kato, María Ignacia Walker, Melissa Arias, Rudee Tancharoen, Yuki Sumiya & Poly Nikolopoulou :

JOYA Barcelona 2014 – Selected COLLECTIVES

JOYA Barcelona 2014 –  Art Jewellery Fair, October 9, 10 and 11, 2014

***

This year JOYA will have seven collectives :

Alchimia Alumni Collective (AAC) and AGC from Italy,

Artist Collective ANIMA from Austria,

AORP from Portugal and CORPO from Brasil.
For the first time, there will also be the collective Bench 886 from Taiwan, formed by 6 talented artists, and the collective JOYA BRAVA from Chile, with 10 artists on stage.

 

* Alchimia Alumni Collective (AAC) :

« We are a new and fresh (april 2014) collective called Aac (Alchimia alumni collective). This collective was created just a couple of months ago, co-founded by Andrea Coderch, Catalina Gibert and Dinah Lee as a platform for past and future Alchimia alumni. Our main goal is to showcase their and our work, so as to put contemporary jewelry on the map in a larger scale, introducing it to the general public as it is still an unexplored territory to many.
Being friends, colleagues and former schoolmates, we naturally discussed the current state of contemporary jewelry amongst ourselves. We came to the conclusion that we would be much stronger as a collective and could help not just each other, but on a much larger scale by having this platform available for all past and future alumni, especially giving that we all come from the same school of training, have a common understanding and approach to our individual work. Our aim is to create, one day in the near future, a movement, a kind of contemporary jewelry “awareness”, as we feel that it is still very much an unrecognized area of the arts.
Gradually, we want to be able to organize, create and participate in different events and exhibitions all around the world, in different cities.« 

The members of the Aac Team will be …  : Akiko Ban– Andrea Coderch — Catalina Gibert — Dinah Lee — Gabi Veit — Lavinia Rossetti — Michelle Kraemer –  Nur Terün and Selen Özus.
