Schmuck 2013 – EXPO ‘Flora eats Fauna’ – Nymphenburg Palace, Munich (DE) – 8-10 Mars 2013

Flora eats Fauna

Who are they?
(Animals? Plants? Organisms? Objects? Bodies? Humans?… Creatures?)
If we are vulnerable, how vulnerable are they?
Who nurtures who? Does life precede death, or does death precede life?
-Flux- 
Come and wander amongst ‘the others’, let yourself get intertwined in a cycle caught between defense and protection, captivating beauty and cruelty.
Discover your own values through their bewildering characteristics. We need each other.

Artists: Nora Rochel — Dana Hakim — Susanne Wolbers — Leonore Jock — Jasmin Matzakow — Stephanie Hensle — Jimin Kim — Hannah Joris.

* students of Gerrit Rietveld’s Jewellery Department

on different location throughout the city of Amsterdam:
 - Sieraad Art fair: opening on the 4th. of November: 2am – 9pm
 - Rietveld Uncut at De Brakke Grond: 12th of November from 7 – 11pm & 13th of November from 1am – 11pm

“xxx Jewels”
The first thing you see when you arrive in Amsterdam Schiphol is a huge poster with a woman showing her bare breast.
‘Sex Sells’ is an overused concept.
Students of the Jewelry Department Het Sieraad of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie use this principle to show their work. They made collages combining pornography with their jewelry pieces. The explicit character of the pornography is transformed into a new image; a dialogue between body and jewel.
“xxx Jewels”, is a jewelry presentation in form of posters and a magazine.
The posters will be spread around the city during the time of the festival. The magazine is for sale and will be shown at the different locations of the B-side Festival; it also will be presented at the opening of the jewelry fair Sieraad, the 4th. of November between 2am and 9pm.

 

 

* Claire Baloge & Monika Zampa : “Stalagmite & Stalactite”

EXPO ‘VALUABLES – The weight of ideas’ – B-Side Jewellery Festival, Amsterdam (NL) – 4-7 Nov. 2010

You are cordially invited to the exhibition « VALUABLES – The weight of ideas »
within the B-Side Downtown Jewellery Festival in Amsterdam.

Featured artists:
Beatrice Brovia, Nicolas Cheng, Dana Hakim, Susanne Wolbers.
 Opening time: November 4th-7th 2010, open all days 14:00-20:00

Address: Keerpunt 12, Amsterdam

“Valuables – the weight of ideas”
If we assume that:
WEIGHT, MATERIAL, TIME CONSUMPTION.. ≠ VALUE
and that:
IDEAS = VALUE
We get closer to our belief of what jewelry is, of what it can be.
Through a joint exhibition and installation, we’d like to give our jewelry, and to the ideas originating it, a new specific weight, questioning and triggering the common sense of what is valuable.
How can we define a balance between material value and idea value? Between the visible and the invisible? Between tangible and emotional?
When discussing and questioning jewelry, the connotation of “value” (be it financial, sentimental, symbolical..) is always present. It therefore comes natural, to openly address the value issue, in all its shades and definitions, through contemporary jewelry.
