EXPO ‘Bubble Land’ – PIN sstudio, Kaohsiung City (Taiwan) – 25 Avril-20 Mai 2015

Bubble Land – Ten Contemporary Jewellery Artists from Taiwan

Opening party:  25 Avril 2015 (Sat.) 16:30-18:30  / PIN sstudio

 

Bench 886

 

Bubble Land is an imaginary space reflecting our mind state, delivering treasures integrated with our history, present and fantasy on the island we live in.
We may all come from the same land; some see it as a mystic island that is often neglected by the outside, while others embrace the diverse, rich and wealthy livelihood.
The multi-perspective experience we share is a brief moment on the proceeding time lapse we live in. It contains spiritual eternal values, but not always visually perpetual. It is the little details acknowledged by the inhabitants participating in daily lives that bring gratitude or responses toward the present situations.

COUP de COEUR : Yung-huei Chao & her rooftops

Yung-huei Chao (from Bench 886 group) & her rooftops

« Jewellery is the building block put on to the surface of the body, and so are the constructional elements on housings and architectures.
I use the symbols of Taiwanese housing elements that people rely on, to create space within the compact city lives and frame ourselves into a secure and comfort environment. The unintentional action divides people into distinctive characters throughout the years.
I try to capture these actions being neglected for the ordinary, and magnify the images by retaining the icons and mimicking in wearable dimension. »

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.

EXPO ‘Ni Hao’ – Gallery Kobeia, Munich (DE) – 13-18 Mars 2014

SCHMUCK 2014 – Munich – 12-18 Mars 2014

Ni Hao ! - 10 contemporary jewellery artists from Taiwan

The emerging Taiwan-based art jewelry group “Bench 886” is scheduled to present their works at Schmuck 2014 Munich Germany Jewelry Fair, showing the rich variety of their artistic energy on the international stage which is regarded as the Oscars in art jewelry

‘Hi’ (Ni Hao in Chinese) is a magic greeting word that initiates communication, just  as a key that opens the door to a discussion, a bridge that crosses the  boundaries of silence. Language very often goes beyond its linguistic meaning;   however, it is also confined to linguistic competence. If there is a way that  crosses the borders of language and speaks up one’s opinions through work piece,  so that everyone, regardless of language, could feel the frequency of the world;  that would be art.

‘Ni Hao! (hi) We are art  jewellery artists from Taiwan!’

Mei-Fang Chiang dialogues the relationship between soul and work  itself ;

Cai-Xuan (Molly) Wu and Heng Lee discover the beauty of knitting and  embroidery in an unconventional way;

Wen-Miao Yeh and Yu-Ping Lin develop the  Origami and paper cutting in structural dramatic forms;

Shih-Dea (Deborah) Tseng  and Ying-Hsun (Zita) Hsu reveal the vague and abstract spirit of ‘Zen’  in the perceptions of touch and vision;

Han-Chieh (Joy) Chuang, Ying-Hsiu Chen and Yung-Huei Chao combine the inspiration from  Mother Nature with the memory toward motherland.

‘Ten jewellery artists come from the same land, ten storytellers  looking forward to a whole new page in their lives.’
