*

Jewellery exhibitions are often presented in sterile glass cabinets. This leads to a distance between object and viewer and limits the freedom, which could develop in this sensual encounter.
Here, at the exhibition tog_ther !, curated by Gisbert Stach and Rose Stach, the motto is: chairs instead of showcases!
Twenty international author jewellery artists gather with their extraordinary objects in dialogue with strongly individualistic seats, from weight benches to a sandbag wall.
A potently interactive chair by Christoph Zellweger from Switzerland; a self-portrait stool by Arek Wolski from Warsaw; cheap pretense and reality from two female Budapest artists; and David Bielander Thonet chair sausage links, are among what’s to find.
Two female artists from Budapest play with cheap pretence and reality. Emese Benczúr forms the words “LET IT SHINE” on a rainbow-coloured surface using ear studs, while Réka Lörincz presents grooming gloves with enticingly glittering golden nails on a lavatory lid in her piece of art titled  Woman at Work. David Bielander, a native of Basel now living in Munich, even transforms the chair itself into a jewellery object by removing elements of the curved armrest of a Thonet chair and shaping them into sausage necklaces, explaining that the sausages had always been present in these chairs and he has now “set them free”!

Léa Mazy -  Beneath the surface -  2016 – Léa is a young French designer studying at Design Academy Eindhoven.  Léa ’s jewelry collection “Beneath the Surface” is the result of a research on materials around the notions of intimacy, preciousness, fragility, surprise, but most of all on the beauty lying underneath the surface. Combined, the individual story of each broches and rings creates a personal narration and landscape.

 

Mari Funaki was a unique and passionate advocate for contemporary jewellery in Australia, both through her own remarkable practice and her establishment and directorship of Gallery Funaki.
This Award aims to celebrate Mari’s legacy by rewarding the skills and vision of jewellers both here and overseas and by providing a platform for outstanding new work to be shown here in Australia. A panel of three judges will award prizes in both established and emerging categories, with total prize money valued at AUD$11,000.

Un problème avec la COURONNE ?

Un problème avec la royauté ?
La couronne ressurgit sporadiquement, comme si, finalement, tout bijou ne tendait qu’à ce fantasme suprême : se poser une couronne sur la tête.
On ne l’ose que subrepticement, et encore, accompagnée d’une galette et d’une fève ….
Fantasme ultime du (bon) peuple : les « Têtes couronnées » ?

à SCHMUCK 2016, le groupe « Dialogue Collective » proposait « By Royal Appointment » :

David Bielander, 2015 – DIY, Installation, 2015.  We have all probably worn a cardboard crown at some point in our childhood, and we all probably have the desire to be bestowed with a crown of regality on occasion.  In the latest works by David Bielander this crown is accessible, camouflaged as the role-play headdress of the kindergartener within us.  
« Our perceptions are based on our conceptions of what is familiar.  If a shift in the normal context of something occurs, it can trigger a shock to our understanding, forcing us to examine the object in a manner completely new to us.  Things don’t remain the things we perceive at first glimpse.  The Cardboard works materialize the ambiguity, the multifaceted nature of things.   Cardboard becomes gold, gold becomes cardboard Cardboard tiaras and crowns become precious jewelry. »   David Bielander

EXPO during JOYA Barcelona OFF 2015 : ‘BIJOUX EN JEU’ – Museu del Disseny de Barcelona (ES) – 1-18 Oct. 2015

exhibition being part of « OFF JOYA » 2015

«BIJOUX EN JEU» Exposition des collections de bijou contemporain du MUDAC et de la
Confédération Suisse.

Opening: 1 Octubre, 18.00h

BIJOUX EN JEU presents Otto Küzli, Christoph Zellweger, Sophie Hanagarth, Angi Gut, Felix Flury, David Bielander, Max Fröhlich, Bernhard Schobinger … and many other swiss artists at Disseny HUB Barcelona

(Susanne Klemm, Frozen, 2007 Necklace. Polyolefin 38 x 38 x 7 cm | Collection of the mudac)

Le mudac conserve deux ensembles remarquables de bijoux contemporains, sa collection et celle de la Confédération. Fortes de près de 200 pièces, elles reflètent l’étonnante évolution d’un domaine en perpétuelle ébullition. Le bijou contemporain s’est affranchi, dès les années soixante, d’une tradition considérée comme dévitalisée. Revendiquant un statut artistique à travers la diversité des esthétiques, les créateurs ont été nombreux à dépasser la fonction décorative pour s’interroger sur les dimensions sociales, culturelles et relationnelles du bijou.
Dans les années 1980, le bijou s’est montré clairement contestataire. Explorant ses limites, utilisant quelquefois la performance et l’installation, il s’est rapproché de l’art contemporain. Toutefois depuis une vingtaine d’années, il est autant le lieu de manifestes que le moyen de revendiquer une expression individuelle.
Base de données des collections: http://musees.lausanne.ch/

Parmi les récentes acquisitions de la collection de bijou contemporain, le mudac compte le collier Bretzel de Sophie Hanagarth, qui conjugue culture populaire et mythologie classique, le collier 125 lapins de Natalie Luder, fait de dents de lapin et de fil de soie ou le collier Frozen de Susanne Klemm.

NextLevel Galerie est heureuse de présenter Difference & repetition, une exposition carte blanche donnée à Benjamin Lignel, Frédéric F. Martin et Jorunn Veiteberg.

NextLevel Gallery is delighted to present Difference & repetition, a carte blanche exhibition giving to Benjamin Lignel, Frédéric F. Martin and Jorunn Veiteberg. Displayed in 3 chapters Difference & repetition takes place in the field of contemporary and conceptual jewelry with more than forty pieces from internationals artists.L’exposition est accompagnée de la publication d’un catalogue qui a reçu le soutien de l’Association Norvégienne pour les Arts et l’Artisanat et du ministère des Affaires étrangères norvégien.
This exhibition’s catalogue has received support from the Norwegian Association for Arts and Crafts as well as the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

1. Each of the three curators has put together a selection of works illustrating their specific take on

difference and repetition.

2. Rather than display at once their three selections, we preferred re-assembling them into three

conversations around the subject.

2. Each conversation focuses on a different aspect of the subject.

3. The conversations will follow one another (some of the pieces will be present in all three sessions)

4. This method will hopefully encourage visitors to spend more time with less work, and enjoy the

complex things they suggest, or the silence they create around them

EXPO ‘David Bielander : Escapade’ – Gallery Funaki, Melbourne (Australia) – 1er-26 Avril 2014

David Bielander: Escapade

David Bielander returns to Melbourne for a new exhibition, following on from his career-high exhibition, ‘Demiurge’ at the Museum of Modern Art, Arnhem. Bielander’s jewellery and objects are famous for their keenly observed wit, conceptual depth and technical virtuosity, as he interprets natural and man-made forms in a particularly idiosyncratic, unexpected and brilliant way.

EXPO ‘Demiurg’ – Artothek & Bildersaal, Munich (DE) – 15 Fevr.- 22 Mars 2014

« DAVID BIELANDER Demiurg »

Friday the 14th of February David Bielander’s exhibition Demiurg will open at the Artothek & Bildersaal in Munich.
Friday the 14th of March at 14.00 hours, art historian Jorunn Veiteberg will give an introduction to the work of David Bielander.

Jewellery designer David Bielander (Basel, 1968) creates an unusual universe. Like a true demiurge (craftsman/creator-god) David Bielander builds his world by creating jewellery depicting animals, fruits and other motifs using available materials. Thus the beetle was already present in the closed spoon, and the coloured thumbtacks pointed out the path to the koi carp’s scales.Demiurge has been organized to mark the occasion of the awarding to David Bielander of the Françoise van den Bosch Prize for 2012, the international prize for contemporary jewellery. The exhibition features jewellery from his student days at the Munich arts academy up to the present day. It is based on an idea by Bielander that was further developed by Studio Aandacht. Trompe l’oeil was made the exhibition’s starting point to sharpen the viewers’ perception.

EXPO ‘Au-delà du précieux – Créateurs de bijoux contemporains européens’ – Galerie Paul Fort, Paris (FR) – 5-24 Nov. 2013

Parcours du Bijou «Circuit Bijoux» – Paris – à partir de SEPT. 2013

De septembre 2013 à mars 2014

Hélène Aziza’s gallery will participate to the « Circuits Bijoux » in Paris w/ an exhibition titled “Beyond precious” presenting jewellery that challenges traditional notions of preciousness.

 

Le mot «bijou» évoque immédiatement une notion de «précieux», de matériaux nobles, de valeur (monétaire).

Egalement, s’associe au mot bijou la notion de «portable». Or, il s’agit ici de montrer comment des créateurs réussissent à donner une nouvelle définition du précieux, en transformant des matériaux récupérés, en utilisant des matériaux «pauvres», ou en associant éléments précieux et non précieux, mais toujours de manière iconoclaste.

 Deuxième volet de l’exposition « Au-delà du Précieux » :

Du 5 au 24 novembre 2013 :  «  Au-delà du précieux  – Créateurs de bijoux contemporains européens »

 

Grande-Bretagne : Peter Chang — Liana Pattihis — Adam Paxon — Mahrana — Mark Woods

Allemagne : Bettina Dittlmann — Mirjam Hiller — Daniel Kruger — Dorothéa Prühl — Bettina Speckner

Suisse : David Bielander — Otto Kunzli — Alla Malova Guy — Bernhard Schobinger — Verena Sieber-Fuchs
