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.

EXPO ‘Amber in Contemporary Art Jewellery ‘ – Putti Art Gallery, Riga (Latvia/Lettonie) – 23 Mai-2 Aout 2014

Amber in Contemporary Art Jewellery -

Putti Art Gallery (Rīga, Latvia)

Nikolai Balabin (brooch ?)

The core idea of the exhibition is to demonstrate the possible range of application of amber in the contemporary art jewellery created by professional jewellers.  This area of interest is largely based on the specific materiality of amber – and its historical significance. The choice of exhibition organizers to choose „Amber Road” as the thematic background is not accidental; it played a significant role between 1st and 5th centuries AD as an exchange route of goods between the Baltic Sea region and Roman Empire. The route started in the eastern coastal area of the Baltic Sea, which at that time was inhabited by the Prussians and Curonians. It continued down the Visla up to the city of Karnunta (currently in Hungary) and further to the coast of the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine peninsula, providing Rome with the precious and exclusive material. Many Roman coins and antiquities found in the graveyards in the Baltic countries is perceived as the evidence of this trade route together with testimonies in the writings of Roman Empire era. Thus not only will Latvian and Italian jewellers participate in the exhibition but also artists from countries that Amber Road passed through (Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Austria, Slovenia, and Hungary). This exhibition will not only link the Amber Road geographically, but also historically by connecting the ancient times with the present, the past with the future and demonstrating the spectacular miracle of amber jewellery creation.

The stage of the exhibition is set by an internationally renowned fashion designer brand “MAREUNROL’S”. The fashion designers – Mārīte Mastiņa and Rolands Pēterkops created their first joint collection in 2002 while still being students at Riga Applied Art College. Since then, they have participated and received awards in various international fashion and arts festivals, including the International Fashion and Photography Festival in Hyeres (France). (www.mareunrols.com and http://putti.lv/en/mareunrols )

Exhibition catalogue is designed by Kirils Kirasirovs and the text authors are Una Meistere and Daiga Rudzāte. The catalogue is issued by the arts and culture portal “Arterritory” (www.arterritory.com).

The catalogue publishing is supported by “Rīga 2014″.

Twenty artists take part in the exhibition: Andris Lauders (Latvia), Claudia Steiner (Austria), Eva Tesarik (Austria), Eve Margus-Villems (Estonia), Fanni Vékony (Hungary), Gigi Mariani (Italy), Guntis Lauders (Latvia), Heidemarie Herb (Italy), Helfried Kodré (Austria), Jānis Vilks (Latvia), Jurgita Erminaitė-Šimkuvienė (Lithuania), Maria Cristina Bellucci (Italy), Māris Auniņš (Latvia), Māris Šustiņš (Latvia), Nataša Grandovec (Slovenia), Nikolai Balabin (Russia), Pawel Kaczynski (Poland), Sara Gackowska (Poland), Valdis Brože (Latvia) and Viktoria Münzker (Austria).
