L’objet d’art actuel, en tant que trace du temps, reflète l’évolution de notre société avec talent et ingéniosité. Aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, le secteur des art appliqués tient une place de choix sur la scène artistique contemporaine, ce que ne contredira pas la troisième triennale du Prix européen des Arts appliqués qui propose les créations de pas moins de 78 créateurs venant de 18 pays d’Europe. Tous, sans exception, apportent une matière, une forme, une couleur, une âme à leur œuvre. Qu’il s’agisse d’arts appliqués à vocation utilitaire ou d’expression libre, les créations ici exposées détruisent les barrières entre les catégories et démontrent tout le talent, la créativité, l’innovation et l’ingéniosité nécessaire à leur élaboration. C’est dans le cadre de «Mons, Capitale européenne de la Cultureen 2015» que cette troisième édition du Prix européen des Arts appliqués vient apporter sa touche contemporaine aux différents domaines de création,qu’ils soient céramique, verre, bijou, mobilier, textile, objets de décorationou encore stylisme…
 
Trois prix sont décernés par un jury d’experts :  le Prix des Maîtres d’art (prix de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles),le Prix Jeune Talent (prix du WCC-Europe) et le Prix Mons 2015.

EXPO ‘RULE THE WORLD’ – Friends of Carlotta, Zurich (CH) – 19 Juin-5 Sept. 2014

RULE THE WORLD, a juried exhibition at Friends of Carlotta in Zurich, Switzerland, curated by Bruna Hauert.

Welcome to our world of lived-out deficiencies and psychopaths!

What are the adornments of dictators, despots, and the plain delusional ? What do they need in order to let their real personalities shine through ? What tools do tyrants have to show that they are in charge ?

Rule the World

Despoten sind – bei aller Einfalt – ein sehr facettenreiches Trüppchen. Sie wollen nicht nur geliebt werden. Nein, sie wollen ehrlich und echt geliebt werden. Notfalls mit Gewalt.
Doch: Womit schmücken sich DiktatorInnen, Grössenwahnsinnige, Möchtegerns und Trauminöds? Womit präsentieren sie sich, damit ihre wahre Persönlichkeit im richtigen Licht erstrahlt? Womit zeigen GrosskotzInnen, TyrannInnen und zu Höherem Berufene, dass die Macht mit ihnen ist? Besitzt der Mächtige Objekte der Macht weil er mächtig ist? Oder ist er mächtig, weil er Objekte von magischer Macht besitzt?
Und: Was gönnt der Despot sich selbst in einer launigen Minute? Welcher Schmuck feiert mit ihm in der Stunde seines Triumphes? Womit verwöhnt er seine Untertanen, damit sie sich ihm leichter unter tun? Und wie kann ich ihm huldigen, damit er meine wahre Liebe und somit seinen wahren Wert erkennt?
Diese und andere Fragen zum Thema RULE THE WORLD beherrschen das Thema der nächsten jurierten Schmuckausstellung bei Friends of Carlotta.
Willkommen in der Welt der gelebten Defizite und der Psychopathen in Bestform!
Ich freue mich auf die Pracht der Macht und darauf, Sie an der Vernissage vom 19. Juni 2014 ab 17h begrüssen zu dürfen. Oder an jedem anderen Tag während der Ausstellung. Herzlich  Bruna Hauert

Despite their simple-mindedness, despots are a very diverse little group. All they want is
to be loved. Or rather, they want honest and real love. By force, if need be.
However, what do dictators, megalomaniacs, wannabes and the delusioned adorn themselves with? What do they use to cast their personalities in a positive light? What do fat cats, tyrants and those destined for greater things use to demonstrate that the force is with them? Do the powerful own objects of power because they are powerful? Or are they powerful because they own objects with magic powers?
What’s more: What do despots treat themselves to when they’re in a foul mood? Which pieces of jewellery are there to share the hours of victory with them? What do they spoil their subjects with in order to make them more eager to subdue themselves? And how must I worship these despots so that they recognise my pure love and therefore their true value?
These and other questions on how to RULE THE WORLD will be the dictating subject of the
next juried jewellery exhibition at Friends of Carlotta.

The obscenely over sized piece did not hang like a pendant. It framed her face and seemed to cradle her body. It required a formal posture and bearing that teased out an air of decorum she was not always prone to pulling off. A hybridization of legume, embryo, and organ, the piece could not be more ripe. It‘s glossy surface, and speckled edges felt less like a thing made than a thing born. To the starving masses it was a promise of fertility, but to her enemies it was a reminder that she might gut them at amoment‘s notice

« Jewelry to live every deficiency to the fullest extent. I choose to use a female and a male despot, creating two characters and two scenarios. They both compete for power, adoration, attention and they use the same weapons: the Penis, a symbol of power and dominance. My characters have a lot of insecurities for which they have to overcompensate with decoration and dubious behavior. The Penis becomes a symbol of desire and the despots see it as the object of their desire. The Penis becomes a cult object. Queen of all queens carries around a small wooden Penis pendant as a symbol of her dominance over men. It looks modest, unimportant and not too cared for. It is a trophy.
King of all kings carries around a wooden Penis to show he is the biggest, strongest and most precious of all. The piece is carved out of balsa wood and carefully finished. The piece is really easily imprinted if one doesn’t handle it with care, just like the King’s ego. The way it is worn, as a brooch on the shoulder, is disturbing for the wearer as well as for the viewer. »

EXPO ‘Slowcraft’ – Design Center Stuttgart (DE) -12 Juin-24 Juill. 2014

Slowcraft - JEWELLERY AND TEXTILE ART

Aspects of sustainability in jewelry and textile art

Featuring the work of 5 Textile designers and 5 Jewelery designers who work in an artisanal and sustainable way.

Jewelry artists featured: Mirjam Hiller, Karin Seufert, Sam Tho Duong, Tamara Grüner and Martina Dempf.

Slowcraft (Mirjam Hiller brooch)

Quality needs time. This was the motto of the Slow Food movement that started more than 25 years ago as a conceptual alternative to fast food and all its negative concomitant effects. The Slowcraft show, which will be presented at the Design Center Stuttgart as part of its In()sights exhibition series, will be focused around the same concept. What the curators Martina Dempf and René Lang intend is to inspire is a new appreciation for artistic manual work. Those who create high-quality and sustainable products by themselves have to engage in the time-consuming development and crafting processes, which also include developing appropriate concepts and ideas and choosing suitable materials, as well as the artists’ devotion to the objects they produce. Before an artist or designer can even think about creating something, they need an abundance of creativity, expert knowledge, experience and long years of practice. Showcasing the creations of ten selected designers from the textile and jewelry genres, the Slowcraft exhibition will present high-quality and sustainable solutions as food for thought to delight the public.

Pour vivre heureux, vivons caché ….

« Un bijou peut se porter ostensiblement, mais on peut aussi vouloir le cacher. Sa préciosité devient alors un “trésor” que seuls connaissent celui ou celle qui le porte, celui ou celle qui l’a inventé. On rejoint là une idée chère aux dandys des temps anciens qui portaient des baleines en or dans leur col de chemise. Des artistes contemporains ont développé cette conception et créé leurs propres histoires. Un bijou, c’est essentiellement la présence de l’autre sur soi, transmis d’un patrimoine familial ou cadeau d’un être aimant. L’artiste peut décider de nommer bijou un objet et lui donner ce statut. Ainsi, comme le souligne Marie-Ange Guilleminot, on pourrait imaginer de donner ce statut au parfum d’un savon, qui devient ainsi parure-présence éphémère entre deux êtres complices. Virginie Bois l’a conçu avec de la fumée ou de la glace ………  [dans] une oeuvre qu’elle a réalisée il y a cinq ans pour un mariage. On lui avait commandé un bijou. Elle a alors proposé une feuille d’or qu’on applique sur la peau. Ce bijou ne vit que s’il est porté. Il change jusqu’à disparaître complètement. Seul le temps le vole inéluctablement. C’est une préciosité qu’on ne peut garder, un bijou qu’on oublie aussitôt après avoir choisi où l’appliquer. La feuille agit, impliquant naturellement une attitude de dignité devant ce qui est un symbole, une idée, une histoire. Seul le regard de l’autre révèle sa présence. L’art vous va si bien… » Marc Pottier

Precious Mechanisms

Artists :  Vivek Chaudhary -  Sam Tho DuongJiro Kamata

« Hanoi – Last weekend, Mercedes-Benz, ViveKKevin gallery and CUC gallery jointly opened a jewelry exhibition under the title and with the double meaning of “Precious Mechanisms”, at MAM ART Projects museum in Hanoi. The event introduced to public the modern luxury jewelry collections of artists Vivek Chaudhary, Jiro Kamata and Duong Sam Tho.
Nowadays, jewelry is mass produced, globally. However, this exhibit displayed exclusive items derived from distinctive ideas of three innovative artist: Vivek Chaudhary, Jiro Kamata and Duong Sam Tho. They brought alive three themes of art: “Heart”, “Mirror” and “Frozen”, using different materials and manufacturing methods.
As part of the “Heart” collection, six silver hearts were processed and polished, heated and blow-stretched. These hearts are brooches inspired by Hindu culture in India and expressed through the hand of Vivek Chaudhary. Two main colors in product of ‘Heart’ are red and blue representing two opposite emotions of people. Exceptional, the “Heart” art-work, a creative achievement of artist Vivek Chaudhary, uses the painting process and high-tech colors from Mercedes-Benz, normally only applied on the new S-Class in order to create a polished and durable appearance.
“I admire this craftsmanship – combining art and auto technology, high value materials and old items in order to create modern luxury jewelry. There are similarities between artists and skilled engineers who are develop and manufacture our cars.”, said Mr. Michael Behrens, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Vietnam. He added: “Our customers deeply understand the value and the passion behind both artwork and luxury limousines.”

The “Mirror” artist Jiro Kamata used old camera lenses which have been crafted and sculpted into high value metals in order to create the necklace and brooches. Growing up in his father’ jewelry shop in Hirosaki, Japan, his hobby was collecting old cameras at flea markets in Munich. Jiro Kamata combines both passion and experience to make his ‘Mirror’-artwork. The old lens resemble pearls, while at the same time reflecting on one’s real life.
In ‘Frozen’, Sam Tho Duong was inspired by nature after a heavy snowfall. These crustaceans and flowers seem to be bordered by tiny ice-crystals, but in fact small pearls are attached tightly to the sliver-oxidized, it develops a wonderful color of dark grey and black coal. Artists has put people wearing these rings into the frozen creature’s position.
Combining art and technical perfection between unique materials and borderless creativity, these three artists have taken modern jewelry beyond expectation: “Precious Mechanism”. Based on the famous sentence that “Jewelry will choose its wearer”’, these artworks are only exhibited in major museums around the world and special galleries. » (MercedesBenz Vietnam)
