SCHMUCK 2013 – The official selection

This year the exhibits accepted for SCHMUCK were selected by Bernhard Schobinger of Richterswil in Switzerland. A trained goldsmith, Schobinger is one of today´s leading jewellery designers. His works are regarded as influential in determining new directions in style and the man himself is seen as an artist with a unique aesthetic sense who has broken new ground particularly in avant-garde jewellery design. Not surprisingly, the works selected by him for SCHMUCK 2013, reflect this background. « They include a number of exciting new artists, but also many familiar names, » reveals Dieter Dohr. The exhibits at SCHMUCK include works by Robert Baines (Australia), David Bielander (Switzerland), Sungho Cho (Korea), Sam Tho Duong (Vietnam), Kimiaki Kageyama and Ryuichiro Nakamura (Japan) and Bruce Metcalf (USA).

EXPO ‘‘Winter’ Neckpieces’ – studio2017, Waterloo, Sydey (AU) – 3 Mai–4 Juin 2011

‘Winter’ Neckpieces
For the 4^th year running we will be hosting our successful annual ‘Winter’ group exhibition exploring the breadth, depth, and width of a particular area of jewellery or the body. Our previous winter exhibitions have showcased contemporary brooches. This year the focus will be the neck.

This year we invite a selected number of Australian and International artists to make contemporary versions of this ancient form of self expression. Expect to see works ranging from eye catching, oversized statement pieces, through to delicate pared back jewels. The only limitation will be that the finished work can be worn around the neck.

New work by :

Karin Jacobsson – Karin Findeis — Helena Bogucki — Karen Thompson — Joung-mee Do — Daehoon Kang — Melinda Young — Lauren Simeoni – Phoebe Porter — Raewyn Walsh (NZ) — Kristin D’agostino – Djurdica Kesic — Melissa Cameron — Elfrun Lach — Leslie Matthews — Bridget Kennedy — Diane Appleby — Farah Bandookwala  (UK) –  Saori Kita — Zoe Veness – Michelle Taylor — Vernon Bowden — Naomi Stewart — Valerie Odewahn — Melanie Ihnen — Sheridan Kennedy — Maureen Faye-Chauhan

The BOX project

Eighteen contemporary jewellers from Australia and New Zealand present work they have made using unexpected materials they received in a mysterious brown box. An unusual earplug neckpiece, shuttlecock earrings and brooches sprouting living grass adorn Gaffa Gallery’s walls amongst many other delightful pieces.

Twenty years later, The Box Project involves professional jewellers using complex materials and techniques to bring to life this intriguing past.

 

ARTISTS INCLUDE :
Diane Appleby, Zoe Brand, Melissa Cameron, Zara Collins, Kristin D’Agostino, Sharon Fitness, Liana Kabel, Peta Kruger, Bridie Lander, Jasmine Matus, Carrie McDowell, Sunggee Min, Jessica Page, Alice Potter, Sonya Scott, Lauren Simeoni , Sondi , Melinda Young

EXPO ‘Magpie new adventures in jewellery’ – Taupo Museum (New Zealand) – 6 mai-29 juin 2010

Magpie new adventures in jewellery celebrates a highly distinctive generation of New Zealanders who are redefining contemporary jewellery.

Pauline Bern – « Mend »

Kristin D’Agostino

This feast of extraordinary works showcases over 20 jewellers – from international stars such as Lisa Walker, Pauline Bern and the members of the Weeds Collective to a wave of recent tertiary graduate jewellers. What connects them is an approach to making that grows from and responds to an increasingly diverse array of materials.
A strong interest in textile traditions is a key feature but it doesn’t stop there. Plastics, felting, cockle shells, latex, postage stamps, cake tins, old coins, jigsaw puzzles and product packaging all pour forth from a veritable global cornucopia. In these jewellers’ hands discarded waste and cheap ‘$2 shop’ goods are as ‘precious’ as silver and gold.
Magpie is curated by Tim Walker, former director of The NewDowse and has been commissioned in association with Taupo Museum. Schools and community workshops will be available.

 

Magpie – New adventures in jewellery features : Pauline Bern, Robyn Singh, Lisa Walker, Ilse-Marie Erl, Renee Bevan, Sharon Fitness, Nadene Carr, Joanna Campbell, Mary Curtis, Fran Allison, Rachel Bell, Andrea Daly, Jennifer Braithwaite, Victoria McIntosh, Ross Malcolm, Cath Dearsley, Shelley Norton, Matthew McIntyre Wilson, Karen Michaud, Jacqui Chan, Anna Ward (Carr), Kristin Toller, Jhana Millers, Octavia Cook.

Magpie – New adventures in jewellery is on at Taupo Museum until 29th June 2010.

« Jeweller-designer Kristin D’Agostino is interested in exploring the community aspect of contemporary jewellery. Walk and talk with her around streets of central Taupo for an hour.
Working with the Magpie exhibition theme she has chosen 9 sites to correspond with the Magpie nursery rhyme « One for Sorrow », a traditional children’s nursery rhyme about magpies. According to an old superstition the number of magpies one sees determines if one will be lucky or not.
 

One for sorrow, two for joy,
Three for a girl, four for a boy,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret, never to be told,
Eight for a wish, nine for a kiss,
Ten for a time of joyous bliss.

Participants will be asked to keep a magpie’s eye out and collect objects along the way from which you will make a work of your own when you return to the museum. »
