EXPO ‘SUGAR’ – Platina, Stockholm (Sweden) – 13 Fevr.- 8 Mars 2014

« SUGAR »

During the year Sofia Björkman and Yasar Aydin are working on a project Eating Art. This time we have invited Natalie Smith and Sarah Hurtigkarl to take a part in the project.
Friday 14th of February is Valentin’s Day and we wonder if Sugar is for the heart?

The project is funded by Konstnärsnämnden and is scheduled to last 2013-2014.
Jewellery Art’s strength, is that it can through human movement, be shown and used in both private and public contexts, intimately as spiritually. Being a performer jewellery artist means to operate in many different situations and it is in the exciting voids we experiment. Through interdisciplinary practice and experimental meals in combination with artistic work, we discuss current issues such as gender, ethnicity, class, ethics and the environment.

EXPO ‘Marta Boan: The appearance of jewels’ – Four Gallery, Göteborg (Sweden) – 7-22 Fevr. 2014

« Marta Boan: The appearance of jewels » – 7–22 février

Basic geomatric shapes, lines and points create a language speaking of chaos and order. Volumes growing into a minimalistic expression that communicates and accentuates a figure.
The jewellery of Marta Boan is an elegant explanation of a complex surrounding world. The thin and seemingly fragile objects make the observer want to come closer to discover the details and the strength of the material. Mathematics and art in a beautiful balance.

Welcome to meet Marta Boan and see the exhibition at Four Friday February 7, 17.00-21.00

On Thursday February 6, 16.00 Marta Boan will make a lecture at HDK – University of Arts and Crafts and Design, please mail [e-mail] for more detailed information.

EXPO ‘CONTEMPORARY SWEDISH ART JEWELLERY’ – Platina Gallery, Stockholm (SE) – 15 Nov.-7 Dec. 2013

CONTEMPORARY SWEDISH ART JEWELLERY

AN EXHIBITION IN CONNECTION WITH THE PUBLICATION WITH SAME NAME, WRITTEN BY INGER WÄSTBERG, ARVINIUS + ORFEUS PUBLSIHING

OPENING THURSDAY 14TH OF NOVEMBER 17-19

« Contemporary Swedish art jewellery is a far cry from what is perceived as typically Swedish. Today’s jewellery artists engage with and reflect on problems in society using a material vocabulary that goes far beyond precious metals and gemstones. This book explores how art jewellery has at last taken its rightful place in the world of contemporary art. Inger Wästberg has produced a volume that serves as a reference source for curators, collectors and other artists. Thirty-one Swedish Jewellery artists are represented from the 1990s to today, with an introduction by Inger Wästberg and a foreword by David Revere McFadden. » – text from the backcover of the book

EXPO ‘Kristiina Laurits : Diarium’ – Platina Gallery, Stockholm (Sweden) – 4-26 Oct. 2013

Kristiina Laurits: Diarium

During the year Platina will present different voices around humans daily need for food.
We are happy to invite Kristiina Laurits from Estonia to this project, Eating Art. She will in her first solo-exhibition in Stockholm, with the titel Diarium show work made of materials we daily find in food but are not used to see in combination with jewellery, as bread, salt and vanilla. Strictly translated from Latin, the titel Diarium means just, day food.

(Neckpiece: Hunger III 2012 – Bread, copper, pyrite, onyx, smokey quartz, steel)

« For me, jewellery embodies all of my desires and, always, something else that I never knew before. The key words for my works would be transience, moods and play. The choice of materials offered extensive variety – from gold to salt, from diamonds to bread, from animal liver to iron. I enjoy to play with different materials and techniques. Play is turning reality into images, the play cannot be denied. I have taken on the role of theatre director, who creates a performance on basis of observations picked out from life itself.
A fairy tale.
Symbolisation is inevitably poetic. »
- Kristiina Laurits

EXPO ‘Sanna Svedestedt : Void’ – Byhuset, Krokom (Sweden) – 22 Juin-11 Aout 2013

Sanna Svedestedt: Void  -  Byhuset (Krokom, Sweden)

The leather craft has a strong connection to the Swedish culture, both in modern fashion within the shoes and bags industry, as well as traditional Sami craft, the Duodji. Artist Sanna Svedestedt has taken on the leather as a challenge and creates bold jewellery pieces from naturally tanned skins. This summer her work is exhibited at Byhuset Rödön, where work from three different collections is on show. All of them with one thing in common – the void – the empty spaces.
« There is a thrill in trying to create an exact shape in a soft, natural material that has no inherent exactness. When I create my leather pieces I try to cooperate with the material. The leather has such a strength and power, and I get the most interesting results when my manipulation interacts with the material’s natural movements. Many of my pieces have an empty space, a void, within them. The void gives a presence as well as lightness to the piece. I want to create a strong contrast between the heavy appearance and what they actually feel like when you wear the jewellery. »  - Sanna Svedestedt

« I experiment w/ old leather shaping techniques. It is an exciting material w/ possibilities to create sharp & exact shapes that look very heavy but are surprisingly light when you wear them. These objects demand their place on the body. With the right touch, & quite a lot of stubbornness, the leather transforms into the desired shape. I like the fact that this is a very old technique, & that I can develop it into a contemporary expression. »

EXPO ‘Hybrid’ – Parallell Gallery, Stockholm (Sweden) – 4-26 Avril 2013

Hybrid -   Parallell Gallery (Stockholm, Sweden)  04-Apr-2013 – 26-Apr-2013

Artists:  Emelica Lidman –  Mia Larsson –  Mike Årsjö –  Lina Pihl –  Sarah Hurtigkarl –  Sofia Eriksson –  Yasar Aydin

There are no unbreakable’s in nature and all we know of the certainty of materials is that there is none. Nothing is ever definite; the world has always been in a constant state of flux. It is never still, it is never certain and it has never really been solid. Even if the aim is to use as little energy as possible the planet has never been at rest and it is always changing. Mans eager hand and mind with the dreams that sketches the future plans (may it be as much dreams as nightmares) forces natures’ path into new directions. What will the result of HYBRID be; utopia or dystopia?
In this exhibition we are presenting seven reflections of HYBRID that raises concerns and wishes about the phenomena. Here HYBRID comes in the shape of development & destruction, creation & transformation, filtering & connecting. There is a combination of HYBRIDs changing with its surroundings and against its surroundings. There is also a questioning regarding control and uncertainty-but most of all about awareness and the lacking of it. In jewellery and objects we are presenting the co existing of different elements in forms of HYBRID; as something unknown, something new.

EXPO ‘Entwined’ – Konstfack, Stockholm (SE) – 11-18 Avril 2013

Entwined – a group exhibition  Students at Ädellab, Konstfack were asked to take an experiential approach to the theme chains and links, producing jewelryart.    The result will be exhibited at Konstfack, with an opening/vernissage on the 11th of April from 5pm. A speech from professor Karen Pontoppidan will be made at 6pm.

A chain is a series of connected links which are typically made of metal. But it can also be a food chain, mountain chain or a chain of thought. It is in this wider sense the students have approached the theme.

Opening on the 11th of April at 17.00. Speech by professor Karen Pontoppidan at 18.00
Opening hours is weekdays between 9.00 and 16.00 until the 18th of April
