Snapshot - REVERSO

Snapshot – photography project with Diana Laires:
Words cannot say much about jewellery. You have to see, feel and wear the pieces on the body. You have to live with them. Only then, the pleasure of the thought and made, of the formulated and fabulated with ideas, desires and matters, can irradiate fascination.
What should remain is the joy and the desire to understand and wear these pieces of jewellery as symbols of your own personality. /Jens-Rudiger Lorenzen (adapted) in Contemporary Jewelry, Stuttgart, 1989

EXPO ’40 Jewels (40 Joias)’ – Galeria Tereza Seabra, Lisbon (Portugal) – 29 Oct.-19 Nov. 2013

40 Jewels (40 Joias) -     Galeria Tereza Seabra (Lisbon, Portugal)

“40 Jewels” celebrates the 40th anniversary of Ar.Co – Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual, Lisbon, Portugal, and the 35th anniversary of its Jewellery department. Founded in 1978 by Tereza Seabra, Ar.Co’s Jewellery department became her responsability for 25 years, until it was passed on to Cristina Filipe in 2004. This was the first (and is still the only) contemporary jewellery program fully integrated into an art school in Portugal. National and international collaborations with artists,  jewellers, public and private schools and other entities were and have remained a crucial part of the Jewellery department’s identity. “40 Jewels” will present selected works by 40 ex-students who have completed Ar.Co’s Studies Plan between 1978 and 2013.

Schmuck 2013 – EXPO 'This is where they met' - Platina at Frame, Neue Messe Munchen, Munich (DE) - 6-12 mars 2013 dans Adam GRINOVICH (SE) 2cd4940625bdbf702de40ee1db72a4baJewellery Sessions offers an online platform for artists from different disciplines. It aims at starting a dialogue, sharing thoughts, exchanging visions and collaborating freely. Hereby focusing on the synergy between a photograph, a piece of furniture, an installation, a jewellery piece, other artworks, and the way these artforms come together through extended research.
The visual, how you see things, how you approach them, how you view them from various perspectives, is a common denominator in how we work with contemporary jewellery today. In fact, we (from our discipline) are mostly interested in people; in things people create, why they create it, who is interested in it, and how people live with exceptional products of individual makers. Jewellery Sessions sets out to contribute to current debates of the notion of contemporary jewellery today as an artform, and its impact in the discourse of visual art and design. Within this context we present a platform for experimentation, reflection, discussion and display, to become more flexible and interconnected.
For Jewellery Sessions 2013, contemporary jewellery artists /artist groups are invited from Europe, Japan, U.S. , Latin America, … to join. In collaboration with a photographer, with similar artistic visions, these invited jewellery artists work towards a photograph. The image shows a narrative view on jewellery and should represent more than a profile as for example in a catalogue. The project is an artist initiative to investigate in and reflect on « crossover thinking » in applied and visual arts and a research in different forms of presentation or display of contemporary jewellery.

Coordenação Geral e Executiva
Maria José Oliveira, Cristina Filipe, Raquel Soares – PIN
PD ’12 tem a chancela do Alto Comissariado do Ano de Portugal no Brasil e do Ano do Brasil em Portugal 2012/2013 
« PIN DESENHA’ 12 é um recente projecto da PIN – Associação Portuguesa de Joalharia Contemporânea que resultou de uma parceria com a primeira edição da TRIENALMOVIMNETO DESENHO, este ano denominada DESENHA‘12.
Foi deste modo e sob este mote que a PIN se prontificou a lançar junto dos seus associados este novo projeto designado por PIN DESENHA ‘12. Responderam à chamada meia centena de autores joalheiros que se apresentam nesta exposição.
O projecto PIN DESENHA‘12 consiste no desenvolvimento do tema CORPO / GESTO / LINHA E MOVIMENTO, aplicado à conceção e à realização de um PIN – uma pregadeira que terá como elemento comum um alfinete e a ideia de representação e materialização de linhas, acompanhado pelos respectivos desenhos – num máximo de 10) – desenhos esses, técnicos ou livres, relativos aos trabalhos de Joalharia Contemporânea que os autores conceberam.
Estes desenhos foram reunidos num LIVRO/ OBJETO que corresponde por sua vez à narrativa gráfica e poética do presente projeto. Este objeto tem a configuração de um livro cujas páginas são constituídas pelos desenhos de cada um dos membros participantes, executados em papel vegetal. Todavia, a fim de se seguir o tema –CORPO / GESTO / LINHA E MOVIMENTO, os desenhos em papel vegetal são gráficos delineados através de uma perfuração artesanal feita meticulosamnet com a ajuda de um  alfinete de costura. Deste modo, com o alfinete usou-se uma técnica pontilhista e deu-se uso técnico a este elemento estruturante da PIN DESENHA‘12. Deverá ainda referir-se que este LIVRO/OBJECTO, insólito e único, foi concebido como uma caixa de luz que permite uma visão integral adequada à leitura dos diversos desenhos picotados.
Neste projecto está integrada toda a filosofia da PIN, na medida em que constituiu uma forma, assaz inovadora e imaginativa, de promover o intercâmbio de experiências e o desenvolvimento teórico e prático do título identificativo da Associação. JÓIAS/PIN recria uma aposta anterior no âmbito de alguns workshops, já realizados. Trata-se mais uma vez de jogar com algo que constitui a imagem da Associação e fazer variações a partir do conceito de emblema minimal em que assenta a própria Associação.
O projecto PIN DESENHA’ 12 assume por inteiro o objetivo de se fazer jóia, o que constitui por si só uma qualidade inerente à intrínseca especificidade da Associação, como ainda o de serem manufacturados uma série de PINS acompanhados dos respectivos desenhos, razão pela qual cerca de um quarto dos seus membros aderiram a este projecto que também tinha, claro está, os seus custos financeiros de participação.
PIN DESENHA’ 12 tem uma característica muito própria, digamos mesmo que essencial à criação do OBJECTO/PIN. Na realidade, a mais que célebre afirmação small is beautifull, veio alertar-nos para a necessidade de se atender com a maior honestidade à escala e à civilidade das nossas vidas no tocante à vitalidade, à integridade e à respectiva riqueza espiritual. Neste sentido, a dimensão do próprio PIN e as suas inerentes especificidades fazem deste objeto, um assumido ícone desta afirmação filosófica, política económica e cultural que criou escola a nível universal. Na verdade, small is beautifull constitui hoje em dia uma resposta alternativa à crise mundial que atravessamos e que vai deixar profundas marcas nesta e nas próximas gerações.
Deverá ainda destacar-se o facto da PIN DESENHA’ 12 ser ainda um programa internacional que engloba a participação de membros brasileiros, o que se revela da maior oportunidade neste ano de 2012/2013, em que tanto o Brasil como Portugal festejam em cada um seus territórios os seus eventos e as suas atividades culturais. Deste modo, a literatura, a pintura, o teatro, a música, a dança e agora a joalharia juntam os dois povos para oficialmente declararem este ano de 2012 como o Ano do Brasil em Portugal e o Ano de Portugal no Brasil.
A terminar, deverá ainda referir-se que o projecto PIN DESENHA’ 12 é da autoria de Cristina Filipe, Maria José Oliveira e Raquel Soares, nele tendo participado, como acima se mencionou, cerca de meia centena de membros da PIN cujos trabalhos figuram na Agenda PIN 2013, que corresponde por seu lado, à III edição destas publicações anuais que a Associação vem realizando. »

Schmucksymposium Zimmerhof

Zimmerhof symposium (44ème édition)
The public and private lives of jewellery ( 7 -10 juin 2012)
Un séminaire sur le bijou contemporain – programmé par brune boyer, emmanuel lacoste et benjamin lignel – sur l’invitation d’Yvonne von Racknitz et Uli Haass – avec Namita Wiggers, Cristina Filipe, Christoph Zellweger, Susan Pietzsch, Alena Alexandrova, Christian Hoedl, Carole Deltenre, Cécile Bulté, Pascale Gallien, Alexandre Bardin alias Vera Berkson, Philippe Liotard, Emmanuel Lacoste & Christian Alandete.

ZIMMERHOF 2012

Concept 2012

This year, the symposium’s programme was put together by the French association la garantie. The program will tackle, on the first two days, the different public spaces in which contemporary jewellery can be found, and how actors in the field have sought to challenge the boundaries between those spaces. The last two days will focus more specifically on private spaces and the body.
Our primary aim is to deal with issues that have cropped up recently in opinion pieces and academic texts, and in contemporary practice: how makers sometimes produce for museums, and forget the user; how museums in turn try to propose ‘hands-on’ exhibition projects; how some individuals have literally gone ‘on the street’ to meet the user; how the body is at once a destination, a reference, and an arena of transformation. In short, we intend to provide a platform for debate on the exciting and problematic to and fro of contemporary jewellery between maker, wearer and institution.

Secondly, we hope that this program will give the attendees an opportunity to test a growing interest in the field for exhibition design against the larger historical and theoretical context of museology and (contemporary) jewellery exhibition history.

The results of this symposium will later be published both online and in print.

Brune Boyer, Emmanuel Lacoste & Benjamin Lignel, für la garantie

 ZIMMERHOF

About Zimmerhof

Zimmerhof is a yearly reunion of around 200 members of the jewellery field – students, makers, designers and historians – taking place in an impressive old farmhouse estate in Bad Rappenau-Zimmerhof.
While the four-day event revolves around talks and presentations, it also provides the opportunity to chat at length with those peers we often only ‘bump into’ in other events: it’s an occasion to exchange information, communicate about one’s work, and generally have a good time together.

In order to keep both the attendants and the organisers on their toes, the lectures are always organized by a different team of jewellery professionals: two, sometimes three, people choose a theme, and select a roster of international speakers accordingly. The speakers come from Spain, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, and France; alumni students from academies throughout Europe also present their work (talks are given either in English or German). According to the tradition, visitors are encouraged to bring a couple of their own pieces, which are shown on Friday night on the now legendary Schmucktisch (jewellery table).

Zimmerhof Symposium is the longest existing symposium of it´s kind. Through the years it has grown to be the time and place to be for contemporary jewellery people to meet and greet, to talk and discuss. Bolstered by tradition and ever changing programs, we feel sure that the symposium will continue to inspire for many years to come: we hope to see you there!

EXPO ‘Under that Cloud’ – Velvet da Vinci Gallery, San Francisco (USA) – 13 Avril-29 Mai 2011

An exhibition of jewelry inspired by 18 artists stranded in Mexico City under the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud. Curated by Jo Bloxham

One year ago Eyjafjallajökull made a big impression. This is one of the results – Visit Under That Cloud at Velvet da Vinci :

Memories of Mexico
« In April 2010 I was in Mexico City to attend a jewellery symposium called Walking the Gray Area. After a week of wonderfully inspiring talks and exhibitions, it was time to come home. I said my goodbyes and went back to my hotel to pack in readiness for my flight home the next morning. Then, I heard a news flash, which said the skies over Europe were closed due to a volcanic eruption in Iceland. This was too ridiculous to be true. I had to get home as I was travelling to Australia in two days’ time. But, as the hours morphed into days it quickly became clear that I was going nowhere soon…
A blitz-like camaraderie developed as dozens of jewellers gather in disbelief, talking of nothing other than how they were going to get home. We were all stranded under a dark cloud, and there was nothing anyone could do but wait for it to pass.
I sat in my hotel room, reluctantly listening to the screech of the organ grinder who had based himself beneath my window. It sounded cute at first, but after a week it became a nerve grinder. To block out this noise I began to think about my time in Mexico and its rich and colourful culture of chaos. It had been a wonderful experience, and I felt sad that this cloud, which was holding me prisoner, would overshadow the memories of my time there.
Then, it all became clear. Why not make something positive out of this? The idea for a new exhibition was born…
Needless to say, I never did get to Australia.«  Jo Bloxham, curator
