EXCHANGE-BIJOU 1 – Rafael Luis ALVAREZ at « CREATIVITY CONTEST-Il gioiello si mette in posa » – Torino (Italy) 13 Mai-30 Juin 2017

Rafael Luis Alvarez (Argentina)

Selected for  « Creativity Contest-Il gioiello si mette in posa »

 

INAUGURAZIONE SABATO 13 MAGGIO dalle 16,30 ALLE 20
PRESSO CREATIVITY OGGETTI
“Creativity Contest-Il gioiello si mette in posa”, torna alla sua seconda edizione.
Un concorso internazionale riservato a jewellery designers e artisti che dà vita ad una mostra che inaugura il 13 maggio 2017.

Interpreti dei gioielli che si sono distinti per ricerca di materiali, concept e aspetto formale, i 13 autori internazionali selezionati:  Rafael Luis Alvarez (Argentina) — Nikolai Balabin (Russia-Filnlandia) — Angela Ciobanu (Romania) — Nicolas Estrada (Colombia) — Anna Król (Polonia) — Laura Forte (Italia) — Marco Malasomma (Italia) — Renata Manganelli (Italia) — Lital Mendel (Israele) — Liliya Milpetrova (Bulgaria-Inghilterra) — Mabel Pena (Argentina) — Stenia Scarselli (Italia) — Nicole Schuster (Germania),
che presenteranno oltre alle opere scelte,vere e proprie collezioni.
L’esposizione consentirà quindi di dare maggior risalto alla ricerca artistica dei partecipanti.

Al pubblico che visiterà l’esposizione, insieme alla giuria,composta da: Daniela Bulgarelli, Enrico Debandi, Ludovica Gallo Orsi, Antonella Giani, Nichka Marobin, il ruolo decisivo di assegnare a fine mostra i premi stabiliti, partendo dal più ambito: il servizio fotografico in still life di un’intera collezione, realizzato in studio dalla fotografa Romana Federica Cioccoloni, che ha realizzato per le opere in mostra uno scatto fotografico particolarmente elaborato, specificatamente studiato per questa occasione.
Attraversato da uno spirito giocoso, l’intento del concorso diventa occasione, per una proposta di indagine di più ampio respiro sul gioiello contemporaneo, dove il fine supera il pur interessante confronto tra jewellery designer di ambito internazionale e il risultato che ne decreta la vittoria.
Contaminazione di linguaggi, sapienza tecnica, narrazione, capacità di emozionare. Il gioiello può e deve essere tutto questo. Se fosse una domanda, armonia sarebbe la risposta.
Creativity Oggetti punta da 16 anni i riflettori su artisti e designer che dedicano il loro lavoro alla ricerca di capi d’opera all’insegna dell’ hand made e alla definizione di un linguaggio artistico personale, facendo da tramite tra l’artista e il pubblico e promuovendo lavori per la maggior parte inediti. L’idea di dare una voce a chi fa ricerca, o magari dedica la propria vita a definire un linguaggio artistico personale, può essere un buon motivo per ideare e promuovere un concorso dedicato al gioiello contemporaneo con uno sguardo internazionale.
“Il gioiello si mette in posa” vuole essere una vetrina che offre opportunità professionali a tutti i partecipanti.
Le opere saranno in esposizione e vendita fino al 30 giugno 2017 e lasceranno documento del loro passaggio nel Catalogo “Il gioiello si mette in posa” con i testi di Paola Stroppiana e le fotografie di Federica Cioccoloni.

 If you can check out how a car works, why not check out whether a piece of jewellery makes you look glamorous, popular, funny, sophisticated, attractive etc?
If the project works, it will open new ways to promote and sell jewellery and everybody in this business can profit from the experiment.
If it does not work, it will still be a charming utopian experiment to be remembered for years.
However, we think in a country like Germany with shared economy/swarming/DIY dominant in the public discourse the idea will work and  will sell.
More details on what exactly is Myths 2016-Test Drive soon. Stay tuned.

« Μyths 2016-Test Drive » have the honor and pleasure to announce its cooperation with PLATFORM Munich.
PLATFORM is a pilot project of the city of Munich, financed by the Department of Labor and Economic Development.
It offers space for cultural production, develops concepts for and with actors of the cultural and creative industries and builds new alliances between culture and business.
« Myths 2016 – Test Drive » is inspired by Share Economy, the discourse on saving energy and resources, as well as the change in consumption patterns in developped countries.

EXPO ‘Materiality’ – J-Tour Gallery, Shanghaï (CN) – 5-20 Janv. 2014

« Materiality – Relationship between material and contemporary jewellery” , an exhibition curated by Anna Cheng, was hosted at Ame Gallery (Hong Kong) last month. It is our great honor to showcase works from 16 artists from all over the world, showing a wide spectrum of contemporary jewellery works.  The objective of this show is to highlight the use of unconventional materials used in contemporary jewellery today.

« Materiality”, the dual city exhibitions that feature 16 artists from around the world to interpret materiality in contemporary jewellery.
Material can be referred to as the physical or conceptual properties of the artwork. The Material the artist uses can be seen as a tool or a medium to convey his/her concepts and ideas. The Material itself can also be the inspiration, which becomes the focal point of the art piece.
The unconventional use of materials is one of key themes in contemporary jewellery today. Artists may use any materials that inspire them in their jewellery composition to tell a story and make a statement.
In this exhibition, we focus on the Material chosen by the artists and how it is used as the theme in their contemporary jewellery works.

If you have missed the show in Hong Kong, you can catch it in Shanghai : It will be at J-tour space  from 5 – 20 January.

EXPO ‘Schmuck à Cagnes-sur-Mer’ – Espace Solidor, Cagnes-sur-Mer (FR) – 21 Mai-28 Aout 2011

Après avoir participé en 2010, pour la première fois, à l’exposition «Cagnes hors les murs» à l’Institut Français de Munich dans le cadre de «Schmuck», la ville de Cagnes-sur-Mer s’honore de pouvoir accueillir en 2011 à l’Espace Solidor dans le Haut-de-Cagnes, cette grande manifestation, véritable référence internationale pour le bijou contemporain. C’est un événement culturel qui se double d’une grande première. En effet, le «Schmuck», qui regroupe les créations des plus grands artistes représentant les cinq continents, franchit pour la première fois les frontières de l’hexagone.

Qu’est ce que  SCHMUCK ?
Depuis 1959, l‘exposition temporaire « Schmuck » accueille chaque année ses visiteurs au sein de la foire internationale des métiers de l’artisanat de Munich. Celle ci est la plus ancienne des expositions temporaires présentées. Cette manifestation n’a toutefois rien perdu de son actualité ni de sa signification. C’est à cette occasion que, pendant la foire internationale des métiers de l’artisanat de Munich, la communauté des orfèvres du monde entier se rencontre chaque année pour un échange d’expériences et d’idées. Cette exposition constitue l’événement majeur dans le monde du bijou contemporain. La réputation internationale de l’exposition temporaire « Schmuck » de la foire internationale des métiers de l’artisanat de Munich est telle qu’elle a été invitée à New York en 2006, à Padoue en 2007, à Birmingham en 2008, à Lodz en 2009, et même à Melbourne en Australie où elle a fait grande impression.

62 artistes / 26 nationalités
Espagnols, australiens, allemands, américains, suédois, japonais, chinois,néerlandais…
Avec une maîtrise parfaite de la technique, sans tabous, guidés par le seul souci de l’harmonie des formes, les artistes bousculent les conventions, en s’appuyant pour cela sur des matériaux aussi fragiles que le papier, aussi généreux que le bois, aussi précieux que l’or ou l’argent. C’est sans doute par cette approche qu’ils nous fascinent, qu’ils nous intriguent parfois, pour éveiller en nous cette réflexion indispensable à la connaissance.
Un nouveau panorama sur le bijou contemporain, unique en son genre, s’offre à présent à notre regard, grâce à cette exposition prestigieuse. Elle transcende toutes les idées reçues et bouscule pour notre plus grand bonheur notre belle planète, revue et corrigée dans son approche artistique, par une pléiade de créateurs d’exception.
