EXPO ‘Environments’ – Gallery El.Marneri, Athens (GR) – 18 Mars–8 Avril 2016

Eleni Marneri galerie  presents  the contemporary jewellery exhibition

“Environments”  by Rag Tag Collective.

Opening: Friday 18 March 2016, 19:00 – 22:30
Εγκαίνια : Παρασκευή 18 Μαρτίου 2016 στις 19:00

Rag Tag Collective consists of six Greek jewelry designers with different personal starting points, whose paths intersect in the name of the contemporary Jewelry design. These totally different starting points give the group a characteristic diversity, ` a « patchwork » of characters and temperaments with a common goal: the expression and communication through contemporary jewelry.

“Our common ground and way we have chosen to work, allowed us to create a fertile ground of support, communication and creation. We share a common roof under which we can create and develop our artistic goals. These six unique environments –urban-earthy-natural-psychological-allegorical-dreamy- are these who give a more comprehensive view of how we see ourselves, the others, the world and our time.”

* The Ragtag collective was formed in 2012 by six contemporary jewellery artists from Greece –
The RagTag collective was formed in 2012 with a view to using contemporary jewellery as a vehicle for expressing and communicating its ideas and concerns. The collective’s identity is a blend of the various backgrounds of its individual members, while their choice of contemporary jewellery is based both in the medium’s communicative potential and its capacity to act as a means of social engagement.

The Ragtag Collective(s) are: Chrisoula Papahatzi,  George Giannoutsos, Ismini Pachi, Kalliope Theodoropoulou, Vasia Pachi, Yannis Tsalapatis

COUP de COEUR / COUP de BLUES : Chrisoula PAPAHATZI

Chrisoula Papahatzi & her « INNER VIEW » 2015 collection presented at JOYA 2015 Barcelona.

She is part of the RagTag collective  (The Ragtag collective was formed in 2012 by six contemporary jewellery artists from Greece – They are: Chrisoula Papahatzi George Giannoutsos Ismini Pachi Kalliope Theodoropoulou Vasia Pachi Yannis Tsalapatis)

« My name is Chrysoula and I live in Athens, Greece. Some years ago I discovered the world of metal and jewelry making.
I like to combine metal with precious or semi-precious stones and more «humble» materials like resin or found objects.
The ideas that I work on come from the observation of things, feelings and experiences like a walk in the forest, an old photo, clouds, ruins, the shape of objects, the pleasure of making something, metal’s flexibility.
I enjoy the design and the fabrication processes because they transform these ideas into something solid: a fragment of imagination that can sit on a finger, embrace the arm, caress a neck, or even whisper in someone’s ear. »

La Grèce en bijoux …. coins de ciel ou de mer, mais cachés, intériorisés (toujours à l’arrière du bijou), le bleu des dômes d’églises, dans les îles, un escalier, une esquisse de maison, qui s’ouvre, accueille …. des marches, accéder à « la vieille cité » (paleochora) …. commencer par « la petite maison dans un nuage » et finir par « home alone » …. ou l’inverse ? ma tendre et rugueuse Grèce, en rêve(s) et dans mon coeur ………..
