There are no unbreakable’s in nature and all we know of the certainty of materials is that there is none. Nothing is ever definite; the world has always been in a constant state of flux. It is never still, it is never certain and it has never really been solid. Even if the aim is to use as little energy as possible the planet has never been at rest and it is always changing. Mans eager hand and mind with the dreams that sketches the future plans (may it be as much dreams as nightmares) forces natures’ path into new directions. What will the result of HYBRID be; utopia or dystopia?
In this exhibition we are presenting seven reflections of HYBRID that raises concerns and wishes about the phenomena. Here HYBRID comes in the shape of development & destruction, creation & transformation, filtering & connecting. There is a combination of HYBRIDs changing with its surroundings and against its surroundings. There is also a questioning regarding control and uncertainty-but most of all about awareness and the lacking of it. In jewellery and objects we are presenting the co existing of different elements in forms of HYBRID; as something unknown, something new.

EXPO ‘BROOCHMANIA’ – Galerie Rob Koudjis, Amsterdam (NL) – 5 juin-3 juill. 2010

BROOCHMANIA
a project of Ädellab, the jewelry department of  Konstfack University College of Arts, Craft & design,  Stockholm - Here are the results of study about brooches that students have been doing during the last year.

« Ädellab, the jewellery department of the Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm has developed in recent years into one of the leading educational centers of its kind. The jewellery made by its graduates is as surprising as it is pioneering. The Rob Koudijs Gallery gladly accepted professor Karen Pontoppidan’s invitation to participate in the Broochmania project.
During the last school year, students closely studied every facet of brooches in a series of five workshops. The ultimate goal of Broochmania was the realization of pieces crystallized from the training that would be suitable to exhibition in a gallery. Ward Schrijver was invited to Stockholm to serve as the curator selecting pieces for the exhibition. He chose brooches from 13 artists, ranging from first-year students to recently graduated masters.
The diversity of the work is spectacular: colourful, complicated collages contrast with clearly recognizable forms; the techniques vary from wildly proliferating growth processes to montages using existing perforated material. The distinctive individuals who study at Ädellab learn to manipulate every aspect of the brooch phenomenon as a means of artistic expression. «  (Copyright Galerie Rob Koudijs)
