EXPO ‘Die Renaissance des Emaillierens’ – Galerie Handwerk, Munich (DE) – 9 mars-14 avril 2012

Sonderöffnung Die Renaissance des Emaillierens – Internationaler Schmuck und Gerät, — Galerie Handwerk

Das Emaillieren gehört zu den klassischen Gold- und Silberschmiedetechniken. Das seit über 3500 Jahren bekannte Verfahren stellt eine der ältesten und haltbarsten Methoden dar, Farbe auf Metall aufzubringen und den betreffenden Gegenstand, Schmuck oder Gerät, damit besonders zu akzentuieren.

In der zeitgenössischen Gold- und Silberschmiedeszene hat das Emaillieren in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren eher ein Schattendasein geführt. Seit einigen Jahren erlebt die Technik eine Renaissance. Die Galerie Handwerk in München nimmt dieses Phänomen zum Anlass einer Ausstellung, zu der 41 Gestalter aus 15 Ländern eingeladen wurden. Gezeigt werden Schmuck und Gerät.

Seit den 1990er Jahren spielt Email im Avantgardeschmuck zunehmend eine größere Rolle. Dabei wird mit den unterschiedlichsten Verfahren, Zellenschmelz, Grubenschmelz, Fensteremail, gearbeitet und oftmals auch experimentiert. Viele Goldschmiede haben ihre ganz eigene, persönliche Herangehensweise gefunden. Auffallend ist, dass das Verfahren sehr unkonventionell gehandhabt wird und ganz offensichtlich nicht nur die dem Email klassisch zugeschriebenen Effekte – Farbe, Transparenz, Leuchtkraft – gesucht werden.

Der Aspekt, durch Email Farbe auf das Metall aufzubringen, ist nicht mehr entscheidend, längst sind Lack und Farbe gebräuchlich. Nicht, dass die farblichen und malerischen Möglichkeiten des Emaillierens ihre Wichtigkeit verloren hätten, doch scheint heute die Auseinandersetzung mit der Oberfläche und das Spiel mit ihren reizvollen haptischen Qualitäten der gemeinsame Nenner zu sein.

Email kann transparent, glatt, in kräftigen Farben leuchtend sein und sich durch eine makellose, perfekte Oberfläche auszeichnen. Häufig wird aber auch eine matte oder körnige Oberfläche wie bei Pigmentpulver gesucht, oder die Oberflächen sind aufgebrochen und wirken wie korrodiert.

Beim Gerät hat sich die Verwendung von Email in den letzten 20 Jahren grundlegend geändert. Eine sinnliche Oberflächengestaltung, die ihre Ästhetik häufig in schlichten Formen und monochromen Farben sucht, hat das Figürliche und Ornamentale verdrängt.

Die Ausstellung in der Galerie Handwerk versucht, die unterschiedlichsten Positionen zeitgenössischer Schmuckkünstler zum Thema Email vorzustellen und dabei auf die Aktualität dieser alten Goldschmiedetechnik hinzuweisen. Sie wird wenige Tage vor Beginn der Internationalen Schmuckschau eröffnet und ist ein Teil der umfangreichen Schmuckpräsentationen während der Internationalen Handwerksmesse München.

EXPO ‘Gioielli d’Italia’ – Pensieri Preziosi 2011 – Oratorio di San Rocco, Padova (IT) – 19 nov.2011-22 Janv. 2012

Pensieri Preziosi 2011 – VII edizione – Gioielli “d’Italia” – linguaggi e tendenze nel gioiello contemporaneo italiano

Dal 19 novembre 2011 fino al 22 gennaio 2012, all’Oratorio di San Rocco di Padova, si tiene la settima edizione di Pensieri Preziosi, rassegna punto di riferimento della gioielleria d’arte europea.
La mostra curata da Mirella Cisotto Nalon, presenta 15 artisti italiani che permettono di scoprire e conoscere le nuove tendenze del gioiello contemporaneo nel nostro Paese.

Dopo aver indagato diverse scuole europee e singoli artisti, l’esposizione di quest’anno costituisce un ulteriore omaggio di Padova al 150° anniversario dell’Unità d’Italia, che suggerisce il tema ispitatore alla mostra dal titolo Gioielli “d’Italia” – linguaggi e tendenze nel gioiello contemporaneo italiano.

La mostra, in collaborazione con AGC (Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo), propone 15 artisti orafi, 15 diverse interpretazioni, 15 linguaggi, tutti accomunati dalla ricerca per la creazione di opere d’arte da indossare.

Si tratta di Fernando Betto — Adrean Bloomard  — Patrizia Bonati — Lucia Davanzo — Elisabetta Duprè  — Anna Fornari  — Maria Rosa Franzin  — Simonetta Giacometti — Lisa Grassivaro  — Eugenia Ingegno  — Rita Marcangelo  — Maurizio Stagni — Fabrizio Tridenti  — Barbara Uderzo  — Stefano Zanini, provenienti da Roma, Cremona, Perugia, Vasto, Trieste, Udine, Vicenza e Padova.

I materiali impiegati dai 15 artisti presenti, ciascuno dei quali presenta otto opere, di cui tre recenti, sono i più disparati: dai metalli classici dei gioielli tradizionali come oro e argento, a metalli meno usuali e pregiati quali acciaio, ottone, rame, ferro; accanto corallo, smalti, zirconi, perle, ma anche plexiglas, poliuretano espanso, vetro, silicone, pigmenti, cuoio, materiale plastico, tessuti fino ad arrivare all’utilizzo di objet trouvé quali nidi di vespe, legno, caucciù, terra e persino una pianta grassa e il cioccolato.

Fernando Betto sostiene che le sue opere sono sperimentazione quotidiana, che qualsiasi materiale può dar vita ad un gioiello. La personale tensione introspettiva passa ai suoi gioielli che rivelano un’identità imprevista, in cui risalta un atteggiamento di fedeltà verso la materia per trovare una nuova dimensione segnica di cui è possibile il superamento e la negazione; per l’artista il gioiello deve poter vivere da solo.

Fernando Betto Anello in argento 925 e Plexiglas 2009

Adrean Bloomard guarda al gioiello come ad un potente condensatore di significati, non soltanto ornamentali o materici, ma soprattutto, magici e mentali, dove la memoria ha tracciato, nei ricordi, la propria fisionomia. Egli racchiude nel gioiello la propria esperienza emozionale. Fa rivivere il passato, la stratificazione di una storia collettiva e personale attraverso l’oro finemente lavorato in lamine slabbrate che dialogano con rame, argento, smalti.

Adrean Bloomard

Patrizia Bonati crea basandosi sull’idea di trasformazione e sull’aspirazione al movimento. Tale concetto caratterizza i suoi gioielli che assecondano questa dichiarazione d’intenti e, agli occhi dell’osservatore, mutano, si evolvono: da una collana o un anello si ottiene un bracciale creando così dei monili interscambiabili. Il suo linguaggio infatti risente delle influenze derivate dalla corrente artistica giapponese wabi sabi, dottrina che insegna a guardare ciò che circonda l’uomo come un qualcosa di transitorio, non duraturo. L’esito materico è dato da superfici grezze, slabbrate, non nitide, accanto ad esiti geometricamente lineari.

Patrizia Bonati

Lucia Davanzo dimostra come la sua poetica consideri la forma geometrica il mezzo e lo strumento concettuale atto a rappresentare l’idea, solidificato nel tempo dall’esperienza e dalla memoria, che tende ad opporsi ai mutamenti spaziali e temporali della vita. Per l’artista la materia non è soltanto il mezzo con cui si esplicitano le sensazioni, ma una sostanza sensibile, una memoria, qualcosa della nostra interiorità. Ecco che le sue opere nascono dal rapporto che s’innesta tra il pieno e il vuoto da cui si originano forme geometriche, costruzioni plastiche, forme concrete: dal punto nasce la linea, dalla linea i piani, dai piani i volumi in un continuo processo creativo.

Lucia Davanzo - broche « eclisse »

Elisabetta Duprè si serve di un lessico formale scarno, di pochi ed essenziali elementi in cui il rigore esecutivo ed il limitato cromatismo sono il linguaggio dal quale prendono vita i suoi gioielli. Il suo operare trova origine dal suprematismo da cui coglie lo spunto di liberare l’arte dai fini pratici ed estetici e di lavorare sulla pura sensibilità plastica e giungere all’unione, per l’artista imprescindibile, tra lavoro artigianale e lavoro artistico.

Elisabetta Duprè  – Trio

Anna Fornari persegue da anni un filo immaginativo legato all’evoluzione di soluzioni espressive originali e personalizzate. Oggetti e materiali rinvenuti per caso, attraverso un’elaborazione fantastica, dopo essere stati riscoperti e studiati, trovano una nuova forma mantenendo nel contempo anche parte dell’identità iniziale pur divenendo gioielli.

Anna Fornari 

Maria Rosa Franzin applica in modo personale la disciplina geometrica alle sue creazioni senza mai tuttavia separarsi da una propria autonoma interpretazione di forme e materiali, esaltando la semplicità delle linee con una particolare attenzione al disegno. Ciò che interessa maggiormente l’artista sono le qualità cromatiche dei materiali prescelti a cui conferisce una squisita sensibilità pittorica con diversi trattamenti delle superfici. I suoi gioielli scaturiscono da un confronto tra il pensiero, la sua espressione segnica e la sua effettiva traduzione in oggetti tridimensionali.

Maria Rosa Franzin 

Rita Marcangelo si avvale di forme lineari, quasi primitive, primordiali; la loro, solo apparente rigidità, è mediata da un uso sapiente del colore che rende i suoi gioielli veicoli di espressività e contemporaneità e così il gioiello creato diventa quasi rifugio, sfogo, esplosione di sentimenti. Predilige e adotta materiali che possono subire un cambiamento rispetto all’aspetto iniziale, che hanno cioè il potenziale di diventare altro trasformando un materiale in maniera tale che diventi quasi irriconoscibile.

Rita Marcangelo

Eugenia Ingegno pensa ai gioielli come portatori di messaggi, che raccontano storie di persone: sono senza sempre di qualcuno, il regalo di qualcuno, sul corpo di qualcuno. Nel suo operare l’artista privilegia la tecnica della fusione e quindi l’utilizzo di stampi che risponde all’azione concettuale di aderire alla realtà, a ciò che di essa possiamo o vogliamo cogliere.

Eugenia Ingegno –  » from the hands » collection – DOREA #3 – Necklace – Resin, silk wire, silver gold plated- 2010

Maurizio Stagni concepisce il gioiello secondo tre diverse accezioni ovvero come un oggetto artigianale che esprime equilibrio ed abilità manuale e che mette in risalto caratteristiche di bellezza; come un “prodotto” proveniente da un percorso personale e creativo e quindi originale, attento però ai costi nella produzione e
nella distribuzione e infine come un manufatto che esprime liberamente, coerente ed eticamente un viaggio emozionale. Ironia, gioco, realtà e percezione sono gli aspetti indagati dall’artista nel suo percorso creativo dando vita nei lavori più recenti a gioielli seri nell’eleganza cromatica ma al contempo divertenti nell’inganno percettivo.

Simonetta Giacometti percorre un iter artistico variegato: dai gioielli degli anni ottanta che appartengono chiaramente ad un approccio mediato dalla pratica orafa ai giorni più recenti in cui fa uso di materiali di riciclo con un riferimento al mondo naturale che è un’imprescindibile fonte d’ispirazione formale e cromatica del suo
lavoro. L’idea prende forma dalla materia stessa, dalla sua lavorazione.

Lisa Grassivaro domina l’assoluta libertà inventiva, ricerca di autenticità e singolarità in quanto l’artista è primo
ideatore ed artefice. Tali caratteristiche sfociano in uno stile inconfondibile, caratterizzato da essenzialità delle forme, precisione del segno, rigore geometrico, rarefatta eleganza e raffinata esecuzione tecnica che rappresentano stilemi propri dell’artista.

Lisa Grassivaro

Fabrizio Tridenti rinnega l’aspetto essenzialmente accessorio attribuito tradizionalmente al gioiello, predilige  l’utilizzo di materiali poveri, di scarto, elevandoli a preziosi strumenti di traduzione della propria  progettualità ideativa. Le sue creazioni vivono in una dimensione in cui traspare un senso di sottile attesa, di aspettativa, di sospensione intellettuale.

Fabrizio Tridenti

Barbara Uderzo si concentra fondamentalmente sull’aspetto concettuale dell’opera; l’idea progettuale diventa un
oggetto che si relaziona in maniera giocosa e provocatoria al corpo. Il gioiello è per l’artista esperienza
percettiva e sensoriale, luogo di partenza di eventi in trasformazione, scenario narrativo in cui dialogano oggetti in miniatura tolti alla quotidianità e conglobati con disinvoltura in plastiche coloratissime e metalli.

Barbara Uderzo – Blob ring ‘mare nostrum’

Stefano Zanini trae fonte di ispirazione nella natura in tutte le sue forme aderendo al movimento internazionale Art in nature di cui condivide la filosofia operativa. I più recenti lavori vedono ad esempio la riproduzione di rocce nella loro forma originaria o magmatica primitiva, terra spaccata, fangosa o brulla. L’artista dà forma a gioielli fortemente plastici per adornare il corpo.   (ConessoMagazine)

Klassiker der Moderne 2011 : Manfred Bischoff
In 2011, as in every year, there will be a retrospective of the works of one of the ‘classics of the Modern’. SCHMUCK 2011 will present the key works of Manfred Bischoff, a German goldsmith living in Italy who is regarded around the world as one of today´s leading contemporary jewellery designers. At the Internationale Handwerksmesse one of the many prizes he has received is the Bavarian State Prize (2005), an award which enjoys the very highest regard in the field of arts and crafts.

Manfred Bischoff

SCHMUCK the special show culminates in the presentation of the Herbert Hofmann Prize on 19 March 2011. In addition SCHMUCK 2011 is accompanied by a whole host of other events taking place in galleries, museums and arts institutes in Munich.

 

After the Internationale Handwerksmesse SCHMUCK goes on tour, this time, for the first time, also to France.
The French town which was given this honour is Cagnes-sur-Mer (Espace Solidor) in Provence. In recent years this small town has developed a reputation as a meeting place for statement jewellery designers. SCHMUCK first started to travel around the world in 2006, and has been seen in Australia (RMIT Gallery, Melbourne), Great Britain (Birmingham City University), Poland (National Art Gallery, Lódz), Italy (Oratorio di San Rocco, Padua) and the US (Museum of Arts and Design, New York).

« In the mid 1960s Wendy Ramshaw and David Watkins ran a small firm called Optik Art Jewellery. They designed acrylic fashion jewellery inspired by Pop art paintings of the period. Later in 1967 they designed and sold paper jewellery all over the world. This was prior to a new revolution in jewelry design which was looming, throughout the 70s with non-precious materials and artistic ideas replacing material values. Ramshaw and Watkins were among the protagonists of the London scene. Ramshaw started out as an illustrator and textile designer. She has received numerous prestigious awards for her works, which include the Millennium Medal for Queen Elizabeth II. Her husband David Watkins was a jazz pianist, now a sculptor, and jewelry artist. Through his unconventional techniques and methods of working with materials he creates a unique style all of his own; from 1984 until 2006 he was Professor of Metalwork and Jewelry at the Royal College of Art in London. »

EXPO ‘Cominelli Foundation Award’ – Fondazione Cominelli (Cisano di San Felice del Benaco, Italy) – 12 Sept.–3 Oct. 2010

The Fondazione Cominelli, in carrying out its cultural activities has now come up with an articulated project where it becomes a reference point for the applied arts, not only for exhibitions, but also as a place where applied art “is done”; it does this by organising workshops and conferences on the subject; of this complex panorama it has chosen to present and delve into some sectors only: photography, ceramics and jewellery.

The Fondazione Cominelli is sided by AGC which organises and promotes the event. Agc has already promoted other projects on the national territory.
Agc, Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo (Contemporary Jewellery Association) founded in June 2004, has, among its statutory objectives, that of drawing attention to the value of the contemporary jewellery culture and spreading it.
Contemporary jewellery today represents a sector of advanced research and experimentation of new expressive languages as well as exploiting the personal ornament concept.
In close contact with the international community, the association follows up a series of initiatives aimed at promoting a constructive and synergistic confrontation with other artistic and productive realities.
Here, for the first time, the “Premio Fondazione Cominelli” will be founded, this year referred to an international award for jewellery artists and designers and next year to the gold and jewellery areas of the Art Institutes and schools of contemporary jewellery. The first prize will be awarded to one of the participants selected for the “Premio Fondazione Cominelli” exhibition on contemporaneity in the jewellery research world.
Within this project it is important to point out the Foundation’s intention to set up a permanent collection of contemporary jewellery, following the events that will be organised there.

la ROUILLE en majesté …..

Alexandra Chaney - ‘tetanophobia ‘

voir article   « Ode à la ROUILLE …. Marianne Anselin« 

« La matière qu’elle affectionne aujourd’hui, vielles cartouches, ressorts rouillés, la sécurise, même s’ils sont des déchets. Elle y voit de la beauté, voire de la préciosité, quand d’ordinaire il y a rejet. Sa timidité est dans l’air, c’est pourtant l’ambiguïté qu’elle cultive.
Éloignée des valeurs mercantiles de la joaillerie traditionnelle, Marianne place la préciosité et la rareté là où on ne les attend pas : « je les cherche dans la fragilité de la nature, dans l’action du temps en arrêtant la dégradation du fer rouillé, en utilisant des objets rebuts de notre société qui ne sont pas vides de sens mais porteurs de mémoire ». Là où certains voient imperfections, aspérités, couleurs fanées, elle perçoit comment le souffle du vent, le cliquetis de la pluie viennent à bout de l’airain, comment de l’artificiel la nature se réapproprie et fait son oeuvre. La matière est déjà en migration car « tous les éléments sont fluides. C’est une question de temps. C’est la courte durée de notre existence qui fait que nous appelons «dur» ou «mou» tel ou tel matériau. Le temps met à mal ces critères ». En intervenant, elle arrête un processus qui menait le métal à sa fin, fige l’action du temps sous la violence de sa forge et offre à porter une impalpable et pourtant bien réelle effigie du devenir, un souvenir magnifié.  “ » (Marianne ANSELIN)

Edgar Mosa – ‘Di Indigetes’ – rusted steel

« Relationships with time, space and objects were the focus of my attention during my time in Detroit, Michigan, USA. In an attempt to belong – as a bird makes its nest – I gathered materials that surrounded me; and searched for forms that could convey the struggle within.
Saw blades and rusty steel populated my studio, as vanitas on a still life. From them I created brooches that hung on the body like uncomfortable companions, burdens of a neglected past, that engaged a bittersweet relationship with the wearer. The pieces found their visual strength in the contrast between the delicate organic surfaces versus the sharp industrial edges » (Edgar Mosa)

la Méditerranée comme lien de création …. petit tour par la GRECE

…….. Et plein de créateurs GRECS à découvrir,que je ne connais pas encore !!

Maud Traon (FR) – bague ……. bleue comme la mer !

« The main topic of the event is the Mediterranean as the “sea between lands, border and connection sea between these lands”.
The Mediterranean is the line where north-west and south-east of the world meet and a crucial area for the future of humankind.
This point of contact may become, as the writer Samuel Huntington says, “the starting point for dialogue between civilisations”, where common features are mixed with differences and the respect for “diversity” is based on understanding and knowing other people’s nature.
Each community should learn from the others and teach to them: it is possible to break the “game” aiming at creating monolithic cultures only through these connections.
This was probably not understood in the past, but now a defined direction should be outlined and followed to achieve this objective.
Therefore, the “voice” of the Mediterranean is not coming from the past, but from the future, according to that balance between land and sea, belonging and freedom, where a living model does not demonize our need for establishing links or our need for freedom.
If it is true that hope is in the future, then assigning this message to an extremely contemporary and innovative art expression can help us achieving this objective.
This is the reason why Contemporary Jewellery was selected, as this is a sector of advanced research and experimentation halfway between design and tradition, as an expressive language to disseminate this message.
Through Contemporary Jewellery research, it is possible to highlight and give value to the cultural diversities characterising all communities living around the shores of this Sea.
This project has several purposes: promote the cultural heritage that has always characterised the Municipality of Nocciano, i.e. its Medieval Castle and Picture Gallery beyond the regional and national borders.
At the same time, this event includes the possibility to create a tourist-cultural movement between the Mediterranean Village and Nocciano, which are a few km far from each other.  »

tout un travail naïf, attendrissant, méticuleux, basé sur les techniques textiles, couture, broderie… une « petite Pénélope » des temps modernes …..

’17th Century Embroidery Interpretation ‘ cuffs, silk, cotton, pearls -  Embroidery sewing
Triple knecklace  – silk cotton semi precious stones gold and silver elements and plastic

« My work is inspired by old-fashioned activities such as sewing and embroidering. I admire how children transform ordinary materials into valuable assets and try to pay tribute to their game. I use natural materials – silk, wool, cotton, semiprecious stones. I produce small quantities because I work on my own. Every piece is unique and tells a story: of a couple meeting, a flower garland, and happy home. I search for vintage materials – buttons, textiles, stones. I want my jewellery to be funny but also detail orientated. I often use old garments, buttons and stones just to show that every material can carry a memory and still have a second life. » (Loukia Richards) (on CraftsCouncil page)
