Cette exposition internationale met en lumière la nouvelle scène du bijou contemporain. Dans les pièces présentées, on trouve des clous,  des mouchoirs et autres objets insolites qui bousculent les codes traditionnels du bijou. Ces vingt-deux bijoutiers-plasticiens ouvrent de nouveaux passages. Ils revisitent la notion de préciosité en partageant avec le public leurs messages, leurs émotions, leurs histoires.

EXPO ‘Mariposa/papallona/Butterfly’ – Amaranto joies, Barcelona (ES) – 4 Avril-18 Mai 2013

Mariposa/Papallona/Butterfly

Una exposición comisariada por PHILIP SAJET

 55 creadores = 55 mariposas

Philip Sajet

“There are as many butterflies as that are people, probably even many more.

Mystica tells us, that departed souls sometimes return as butterflies to comfort and reasure us.

But whatever the case, one thing is sure in this life they live short.

They are light and extremely agile and in the eyes of some are considered as very beautiful

The only animal who looks alive while not being it.

That is their tragedy. To be pinned on a board. 

The butterfly for the artist is also a metaphor for life.

How big or small, how light or heavy do you make it?

It was my personal curiosity to ask artists whose work fascinate / intrigue me to show me their Butterfly.

Yes almost as intimate as this question sounds, so intimate in a way it is.”   Philip Sajet

*

Petr Dvorak - Garnet/garnet/Butterfly 

My garnet/garnet/titanium butterfly is a transformation of my perception of the world, my vision of impressions, desires and illusions. Within each of us is a butterfly

Peter Skubic - Butterfly  2013

The pieces is a butterfly in my still. It means the reflecting steel-sheats makes the piece as well as invisible,
because mirrors are invisible. You can only see the reflection of the surface and the colour and imagine spaces.
I make it from a suggestion of Philip Sajet.

 Ramon Puig Cuyàs – “Rerum natura I”

Vera Siemund
I always liked to mix different quotations in my pieces.

To do a butterfly seemed to be very easy, but suddenly this insect really gave me problems. It became so serious but at the same time too sweet. I had to leave nature immediately and go back to the topics I am familiar with.

Robean Visschers – butter-fly brooch

As a child I was already wondering how « things » got their name. Sometimes a word or a name is a combination of 2 or more words. also in the case of the Butterfly. Why?? I combined a pack of butter with a fly. Quess what? It doesnt look like a butterfly. For me its a strang name for a beautiful animal.

Silvia Walz -   Morpho con alas desplegadas –

El morpho es una mariposa azul que vive la mayor parte del tiempo en el bosque con las alas plegadas. Sin embargo cuando esta en búsqueda de compañero, sale de su escondite, desplega las alas y vuela en lo alto.

La crisálida dejó su esqueleto olvidado para ver nacer las alas de mariposa. Alas que llevará a través del viento. Alas que el cuerpo posee y que maneja a su antojo.

Surasekk Yushiwat Butterfly Effect. The keyword of this product come from question “Butterfly colors this world but how they color anyone who wear t-shirts ?”. The graphic of butterfly effect come from difference movements during daily routine activity of wearer in each days, so there are no cliché graphical.

EXPO ‘Borax08001′ – The Deutsches Goldschmiedehaus, Hanau (DE) – 14 Mars-28 Avril 2013

Bórax08001… una vez más!.  Asociación de Joyeria Artística -

Bórax08001.. One more time!

at  Association for Goldsmiths’ Art. Hanau (Germany) – 14 mars-28 avril

Working in a multicultural group of 10 artists from eight nationalities enables the collective BORAX08001 to develop Artist Jewellery projects, which are not limited to a collection with its’ respective group exhibition, but it grants them the liberty to invent different ways to catch the publics’ attention outside the context usually defined.
That being a high street, a square, a museum, a workshop or a bar … public places that have all seen performances directed to one purpose: Make known BORAX08001’ work and idea of jewellery as art applied to the body to a public as wide as possible. The collective is conscious that opportunities need to be generated and that together they can reach bigger goals with a broader projection.

‘NEW NOMADS’ New Traditional Jewellery 2012

More Info: http://www.newtraditionaljewellery.com

exhibition New Nomads

exhibition New Nomads will be shown during SIERAAD Art Fair, 1 – 4 November 2012, in the Gashouder, WesterGasfabriek, Amsterdam  www.sieraadartfair.com 

For the 2012 design contest and exhibition the professional jury of New Traditional Jewellery (NTJ) has chosen the theme ‘NEW NOMADS’, because both literally and figuratively this theme offers many possibilities for inspiration.

the professional jury of New Traditional Jewellery (NTJ) at (hard !) work ….

The history of jewellery is as old as mankind. While people went in search of parts with the best living conditions they carried their valuables with them, wearing them on their bodies. Jewellery that represents economic and social status, as it still does nowadays in the case of nomadic tribes. The dissemination of religions went hand in hand with an unprecedented range of religious jewellery and ornaments, ranging from small containers for religious texts to reliquaries and portable altars.
To this day, jewellery made of stable materials like gold and gems is the guarantee for your ‘ticket home’ in times of crises or when you have to flee from high-risk areas. Due to the global financial crisis prices of this so-called ‘flight gold’ have skyrocketed. Is there an alternative? Nowadays there are quite different streams of migrants but the principle is the same: people in search of parts with better living conditions. The whole world is on the move, from refugees to tourists, from emigrants to employees of multinationals. And you don’t even have to get up from your chair: Skype e.g. has made videoconferencing into a social medium.
NTJ asks contemporary professional jewellery designers to build bridges between the traditional jewellery of e.g. nomads, pilgrims, explorers, globetrotters, refugees or colonists and possible symbols bearers representing the mobility of the ‘NEW NOMADS’. Check the attachments for conditions and criteria.

L’Art appliqué ? Qu’est-ce que c’est ?

Quand la création fait irruption dans le quotidien, quand le bijou se fait manifeste, quand la céramique se fait poème, quand le design change la vie, quand les artistes posent un regard neuf sur tout ce qui fait l’ordinaire de chacun et par l’ « intelligence de la main » créent des pièces uniques, c’est là que sont les Arts appliqués.
Design d’objets et de mobilier, création textile, céramique contemporaine, bijou et orfèvrerie, verre, travail du métal,…  Venez découvrir le meilleur des Arts appliqués européens cet été aux Anciens Abattoirs de Mons.
Créateurs confirmés et jeunes talents, dont les créations seront présentées dans le superbe cadre de la Grande Halle, dialogueront dans une scénographie confiée à Evelyne Gilmont, designer bruxelloise qui enseigne à l’Ecole supérieure des Arts plastiques et visuels de Mons.
Un jury international d’experts décernera le Prix européen des Arts appliqués, ce dernier comptant deux catégories :
le Prix des Maîtres d’Art, doté de 3.500 €, décerné à un créateur  âgé de plus de 35 ans, auteur d’une pièce maîtresse.
le Prix Jeune Talent de 3.000 euros, décerné à un jeune créateur âgé d’au maximum 35 ans.

B-SIDE Festival – 2nd Edition – Amsterdam – 3-6 Nov. 2011

B-side DownTown Art Jewellery Festival:
An energetic, self-created festival for jewellery artists. It brings together a series of jewellery exhibitions and performances on different locations throughout the city of Amsterdam.
contact us at  [e-mail]

B-side DownTownArtJewellery Festival is an energetic, self-created festival for jewellery artists. The 2nd edition takes place from the 3rd until the 6^th of November 2011 and brings together a series of jewellery exhibitions and performances in the city of Amsterdam. This event is initiated by min-association; Maaike Ebbinge – Iris Tsante – Noémie Doge,

who graduated from Amsterdam’s Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 2007 and 2008.
B-side gives artists the opportunity to explore new ways of showing their jewellery to the world. Each artist is encouraged to take responsibility for his of her own part in a bigger chain or route.
B-side emphasises the festive side of a festival and celebrate the art of jewellery. The aim of the festival is to show different ways of presenting and thinking about art jewellery through exhibitions and performances. It allows exploration of spaces that aren’t usually used for exhibition purposes, for example parks, ateliers, bicycles, empty buildings, a living room, a café or the back of a car.
B-side happens simultaneously with other inspiring jewellery events in Amsterdam.
B-side shows designs that go very much beyond mass-produced jewellery. It shows an artistic way of presenting and dealing with jewellery. The value of this jewellery is not defined by precious metals, but by their visual force and strong concept.
There are many jewellery artists working in Amsterdam. Three of the four most renowned Dutch jewellery galleries are based here, and the jewellery department of the Rietveld Academy is well-k

nown for its active students and teachers. We are very happy to be able to celebrate Amsterdam’s special connection to jewellery with this special platform for art jewellery.
B-side, another side of jewellery.

Where the heart is

”Strong wind in the face, the sea roaring loudly, lots of curious materials hidden in the sand, my thoughts explore the freedom of space. This is where the heart is, this is where my jewellery pieces are born.” M.E.

“I like working intensively with materials. When the materials start “speaking” and taking their own way, that is where their heart is.” I.T.

“I search for hidden stories by dismantling forgotten relics; I reinvent them picking up the pieces; I’m a treasure hunter, ferreting where their heart is. ” N.D.

The girls from GLA love to play with words, having each their own process in jewellery making, which in their hands, becomes both profound and funny. Galatée Pestre tells the importance of jewellery with signs, while Laurence Verdier explores sensuality, and  Aude Medori shows  commitment to adornment.
