Four jewellery Artists from based in Vienna present theit new works @SCHMUCKtage 2014 in Munich.

Michelle Kraemer – Viktoria Münzker - Claudia Steiner – Eva Tesarik

Vernissage 12.03.2014 – 17.00 – 20.00

  »Four jewelry artists from Austria, Luxemburg and Slovakia, each of whom lives and works primarily in Vienna, present their new creations at Schmucktage 2014 in Munich. Michelle Kraemer creates her jewelry by directly feeling and playing with the materials. They’re simultaneously her inspiration and her challenge, and she continues to transform the materials until the result is a piece of jewelry. Viktoria Münzker is inspired by nature: for example, by the movements of water, which is constantly drawn to and fro, seemingly weightless, and never motionless. The open field of the imagination from which her jewelry results also reveals the feelings and emotions of its maker. Claudia Steiner’s pieces describe the various facets of the personality and the changes it undergoes. Her jewelry guides its beholder’s gaze toward what has been concealed, while the forms embody a sleekly simple aesthetic and the colors refer to the essentials. Eva Tesarik is influenced by the “chambers of marvels” of the Renaissance. She combines amber (“the gold of the north”) and various other materials to create contemporary “chambers of marvels.” » (artaurea)

EXPO ‘Materiality’ – J-Tour Gallery, Shanghaï (CN) – 5-20 Janv. 2014

« Materiality – Relationship between material and contemporary jewellery” , an exhibition curated by Anna Cheng, was hosted at Ame Gallery (Hong Kong) last month. It is our great honor to showcase works from 16 artists from all over the world, showing a wide spectrum of contemporary jewellery works.  The objective of this show is to highlight the use of unconventional materials used in contemporary jewellery today.

« Materiality”, the dual city exhibitions that feature 16 artists from around the world to interpret materiality in contemporary jewellery.
Material can be referred to as the physical or conceptual properties of the artwork. The Material the artist uses can be seen as a tool or a medium to convey his/her concepts and ideas. The Material itself can also be the inspiration, which becomes the focal point of the art piece.
The unconventional use of materials is one of key themes in contemporary jewellery today. Artists may use any materials that inspire them in their jewellery composition to tell a story and make a statement.
In this exhibition, we focus on the Material chosen by the artists and how it is used as the theme in their contemporary jewellery works.

If you have missed the show in Hong Kong, you can catch it in Shanghai : It will be at J-tour space  from 5 – 20 January.

EXPO ‘Into the Unknown’ – Galeria CIN CIN, Bratislava (Slovakia) – 3-26 Avril 2013

Viktoria Münzker : Into the Unknown

Solo exhibition and book presentation of Bratislava’s born slovak-austrian artist.

The recently finished exhibition Into the Unknown has moved from Vienna’s V&V Galerie for contemporary jewellery to Bratislava’s Galeria Cin Cin.
The exhibition shows a selection of jewellery from the recent period. The unexplored depths of the sea fascinates Viktoria Münzker. She investigates and materializes her ideas in the long-lasting, not-yet-ending collection with the title “Into the Unknown” and “Unknown Waters”.
“Everything is possible, nothing is true. The deeper the unknown, the more intoxicating the world is. The inspiration’s floating in weightless state, it never stands still. By movements of the water pulled back and forth – a solid bottom does not exist.”

Il envoie un message clair et fort pour dire «Ne m’approchez pas». Idéal pour les soirées pesantes, il est particulièrement indiqué lors de rendez-vous ennuyeux et convient également lors d’une rupture amoureuse. »
