Exposition organisée à l’Escola Massana de Barcelone par le syndicat artisanal des bijoutiers et la confrérie du Grenat de Perpignan avec l’Institut du Grenat.

En février 2009, l’Association pour la Promotion de l’Histoire dans les Pyrénées-Orientales (APHPO) a créé l’Institut du Grenat, en développant une collaboration avec le Syndicat Artisanal des Bijoutiers des Pyrénées-Orientales. Cet Institut est animé par l’historien Laurent Fonquernie, par ailleurs auteur de « Grenats de Perpignan, bijoux du Roussillon ».

L’exposition se déplacera ensuite au Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle de Perpignan. Elle débutera dans le cadre de la deuxième fête du Grenat de Perpignan (du 26 novembre au 5 décembre 2010). Durant cette semaine, les bijoux réalisés par les élèves de l’Escola Massana seront présentés à la Casa Xanxo de Perpignan.

colectivo Bórax08001

« Borax is a basic component in jewellery because it prevents oxide from forming and, at the same time, works as a flux favoring the flow of metal when it is being soldered and fused. The bórax08001 collective acts as an antioxidant that drives our artistic creation, but also as a flux, favoring the flow of ideas and concepts as well as the development of new techniques and trends in contemporary artistic jewellery.
We come from multiple geographic coordinates and backgrounds. This particularity has enriched us personally and as a group ever since our paths crossed at the Escola Massana (Barcelona, Spain). As we grew up and deepened our skills as jewellers at Massana, strong synergies and complicities were created between us. And we have chosen bórax08001 as the means to keep them alive, searching for new horizons and goals while sharing experiences and learning from each other.
Our work can be defined as the cartography of personal and experimental dialogues through contemporary artistic jewellery. Dialogues through matter, space, color… based on quests, poems, memories, doubts, thoughts, mistakes, games, dreams, intuition, perfection, light, consciousness, unconsciousness, beauty, and emotions.
Bórax08001 means contemporary, artistic signature jewellery. Signature, because we value work from beginning to end and we wish to recover the value of authenticity, taking pride and joy in creating high-quality jewellery, putting special emphasis on the details. Contemporary, because our pieces of jewellery speak for us and reflect the society we live in. And artistic because we strive to express ourselves through metaphors and symbols while we create unique pieces. »

Bleus délicats de Carolina Gimeno – quand le TRAIT est au commencement ….

« Siendo la tercera generación de una familia de joyeros, Carolina Gimeno (Chili) comienza a muy temprana edad su formación artística, en los campos de la pintura, grabado y de performance.
Desde el año 2002 reside y trabaja en Barcelona, donde ha realizado parte de su formación en el área de la joyería, pasando por la Federación del Gremio de Joyeros  y la Escola Massana. El contacto permanente a través de estos años con el mundo de la joyería contemporánea europea, le han influenciado en su manera de entender la nueva joyería como una manifestación más de las artes y ya no como un mero objeto ornamental. »

« The result of my creative process is a metaphor of the idea of “inherited object,” not only inherited objects as such, but also inherited memories, customs, and in my case work. Through the development of my work I have found another way to “unite” and “move” part of my past, a world where they meet my fascination with science, perfect nature and those invisible places yet unbuilt. The desire to draw in space what is undrawable, what we are not able to see clearly, that lives in that foggy landscape of our invented memories and to want to find those places that talk about an overwhelming sense of absence is perhaps the thread from the beginning of this series at this point where everything is still developing in constant evolution… »

Carolina Gimeno (Chili) – série « dibujando en el espacio »

« El resultado de mi proceso de creación es una metáfora de la idea de “objeto heredado”, no sólo heredamos objetos como tal, sino que también heredamos recuerdos, costumbres y en mi caso labores. Ejercer un acto de desplazamiento de  mi memoria hacia mi presente es el gesto constante que me ayuda en la creación de mis piezas. La apropiación del mundo del patronaje y de la costura me sirve  para dar forma  al diaporama memorial de mis recuerdos de infancia. Esta serie son mi manera de “unir” y “desplazar” parte de mi pasado, un mundo en donde  se reúnen mi fascinación por  la ciencia , lo perfecto y esos lugares invisibles por construir, como si se tratase de mis primeros planos de proyección, donde las directrices están dadas por estos trazos dibujados  que luego me permiten dibujar en el espacio. Estas piezas aluden al cuerpo como si se tratase de ilustrar las realidades que vivimos  dentro de nuestras relaciones humanas. » (Carolina Gimeno)

Oui, elle le dit bien, « s’approprier le monde du patronage et de la couture » : ses bleus sont comme la craie bleu pastel des couturières …. une couleur, mais aussi une marque, un trait, le début d’une « construction » (ne pas oublier qu’elle est illustratrice également, d’où l’importance de ce trait) …. d’ailleurs, les oeuvres suivantes s’appellent « dress patterns » …

EXPO ‘PARADIGMA’ – Escola MASSANA, Barcelona (ES) jusqu’au 16 mars 2010

Exhibition « Paradigma » at Escola Massana in Barcelona.

Teachers from the jewelry departments at BIAD, Birmingham City University, and Escola Massana show their work that ranges from more conceptual projects to jewels of more typical use such as necklaces and pendants. The exhibition makes it evident that diversity of ideas and concepts does not owe as much to any certain culture ; communication and globalization are in control and iron out the similarities and differences.

Participants:
Birmingham : Jack Cunningham, Jivan Astfalck, Jo Pond, Zoe Robertson, Terry Hunt, Anna Lorenz, Karen Bartlett & Bridie Lander.
Barcelona : Ramon Puig Cuyàs, Silvia Walz, Judy McCaig, Carmen Amador, Ursula Viñolas, Carles Codina & Elisabet Puig.

EXPO ‘Pensieri preziosi 5: La llibertat de la Joia – Padova (IT) 19 dec 2009-28 fev 2010 -PROLONGATION 10 MARS

Prorogata fino al 14 marzo 2010
Precious Thoughts / Pensieri preziosi

Innovation, colour and energy: jewellery from Escola Massana of Barcelona

The fifth edition of “Precious Thoughts” presents by the works of seven internationally famous artists the Spanish contemporary jewellery developed at the Massana School of Barcelona.
After the important exhibition, “Artistic Jewellery – Padua and its Jewellery School” and last year’s review,“The Jewellery of Nature”, presenting Dorothea Prühl and the German School at Halle, with “La llibertat de la Joia” the same cultural path is continued to present the contemporary art of jewellery to the residents.
This is a cultural event of great importance carried on by the Department of Cultural Affairs of the City of Padova as Italy has not yet developed a proper culture of contemporarity and artistic jewellery is an expressive form still little known and appreciated

“La llibertat de la Joia” is presenting Massana School of Barcelona which thanks to its principles favours the growth of free personalities, fully mature and vivacious artists who work autonomously and completely independently to the extent that it is not possible to speak of a true Catalan style. However, there are many aspects which allow us to see a solid background and an identity in common in the jewellery-makers who attended the School: a marked tendency towards innovation, a conceptual search and the use of metaphor, a great freshness and energy, the tendency towards beauty through the use of colour, the mingling of different materials and objects trouvés, the frequent choice of assembly or construction techniques; the deep convinction that a piece of jewellery is one of the most particular, personal and fantastic ways of sharing one’s thoughts and feelings with the outside world.
