An international exhibition that reunites 25 artists from Europe and Israel who have created jewelry especially for this show, utilizing basalt as the central motif.
Taking into consideration the unique properties of this igneous rock – its natural structure, color and texture – the artists have created pieces that provoke questions about preciousness, esthetics, mythology and beliefs.
The exhibition was originally shown in Agde, France (a city built from basalt) in 2015 and was re-curated for the Geological Museum in Ramat HaSharon. / Jean-Yves Le Mignot, Curator, Rachel Sasporta, Curator in charge

PS : in BLUE see the posts abouth their jewellery !

« This year the exhibition is characterized by innovative, very different works in glass, ceramics and jewellery as well as by a large selection of textiles. In addition to works that are inspired by nature – whether by plant forms or by the atmosphere and moods of the landscape – works are to be seen that are dealing with the city and try to translate its poetry and problems into a visual mode. The appeal of surfaces and the development of new techniques to enhance the range of possibilities resulted in very different works. Other topics are the definition and the meaning of home and country, problems of environmental protection and the relationship of new technical possibilities and traditional craftsmanship. The combination of various unusual ideas, of different conceptual and aesthetic approaches results in a very special and fascinating exhibition.
As in the last years, many applications arrived for Talente from the field of jewellery. The young artists show a special interest in the techniques and ideas of the collage. Impressive are the contributions of the students from Idar-Oberstein (Germany) working with and interpreting the material stone which results in very different works with diverse concerns but all of quite archaic character (Sharaeh Aghaei, Iran; Elvira Golombosi, Ukraine; Tala Yuan, China). The works deal with issues of homeland, strangeness and identity, the unconscious and magic forces being inherent to the objects as well as with the importance and the condition of civilization-creating elements in the present. All in all, this year again the general interest in the combination of different materials and for the connection of specially made parts and found objects is evident. These elements can be created into architecturally-style arrangements, extended into long tubes, combined with materials such as perspex glass or be gathered into subtle, poetic compositions. Besides the major inspiration from natural forms technical ideas play a significant rôle. Katie Collins (USA/Australia) for example works from steel collapsible necklaces and bracelets that present different stages and are inspired by machines. Unusual are Karin Gyllerfelt’s (Sweden) works in which photos of richly draped textiles are applied on metal surfaces causing a vexing trompe l’œil-effect. By means of technique and motifs she hints at the themes of transformation and transience. Jing Yang (China/Germany) deals in her « vases » not only with gender-based stereotypes of her native China, but also with the playful analysis of forms by dividing a vase shape into compartments reflecting in her pendants on the relationship of these parts.  » (Klimt02)

 

TALENTE is an international competition for young craftsmen and women in design and technology. This special show reflects the ideas of young people in the context of an experimental approach to materials and craft techniques. The best entries are awarded the highly sought-after TALENTE prize.

Young artist working in the applied arts and technology will have the opportunity to show their work in the international competition TALENTE 2015 in Munich, Germany from 11th to 17th March 2015. The aim of TALENTE is to promote young people with a particular manual talent and to show an interested audience the enormous potential which lies in the new generation in crafts and trades.

et plonger la tête la première dans la HEAD …..

la HEAD ? la Haute Ecole d’Art & de design de Genève (Suisse), et plus particulièrement l’orientation design-bijou

EXPOSITION « PASSE-PASSE »  - la date de fin de cette exposition est largement dépassée (Exposition du 2 au 12 juillet 2008) mais je ne résiste pas à la tentation de la faire découvrir aux « retardataires » comme moi !
Le thème est passionnant, le(s) résultat(s) SUPERBE(s), et, surtout, ce qui me fascine, cette propension qu’ont les écoles étrangères (hors France s’entend) à COMMUNIQUER, INFORMER sur leurs élèves ………..
 UNE SÉLECTION DE TRAVAUX D’ÉTUDIANT(E)S DE L’ORIENTATION DESIGN BIJOU
Parallèlement à l’exposition «de main à main» au Mudac, l’orientation Design Bijou de la HEAD–Genève présente à Viceversa-L’Annexe une sélection de travaux d’étudiant(e)s réalisés lors des interventions des créateurs de bijou Sonia Morel et Dorothee Striffler ainsi que du designer Timo Kuechler.

Le collier et le mouvement ont été les thèmes proposés par Sonia Morel, créatrice de bijou Lausannoise, aux étudiant-e-s de première année durant son intervention au printemps 2008 à la HEAD – Genève. Le résultat, décliné en 11 parures, foisonne d’idées et démontre une richesse d’interprétation aussi bien d’un point de vue formel que conceptuel. L’ondulation d’une fine feuille de métal côtoie les traces d’un objet sur le corps ou la magie d’un bijou qu’on transforme d’un geste.

Cette exposition est également l’occasion de montrer des travaux résultant de l’intervention de Dorothee Striffler, bijoutière allemande formée à Pforzheim, qui a partagé son expérience d’un travail précieux et rigoureux autour de la chaîne. Éléments répétitifs par essence, qui nécessitent une parfaite maîtrise de l’assemblage et des proportions.

Timo Kuechler, responsable du design chez Niessing a initié des créations surprenantes en imposant le bois et la bague comme sujets de recherche. Les bijoux expérimentaux qui en découlent illustrent avec beaucoup d’humour la capacité des étudiant(e)s à innover.

L’exposition présente les travaux de  Fanny Agnier — Caroline Barras — Paola Bernasconi — Sandra Bocquet — Catherine Chevallay — Charlotte Cochet — Daisy Constantin — Ambroise Degeneve — Eve Doyle — Pia Farrugia — Julio Geiser — Irène Gonet — Alla Guy — Pauline Held — Sarrah Kacem — Oya Kozacioglu — Muriel Laurent — Dorothée Loustalot — Manon Marbouty — Julie Schmid — Louise Vurpas — Laurie Zehnder
