  »Très heureux de vous faire découvrir le projet sur lequel j’ai travaillé avec Florine Menant du Studio411 Galerie à Montpellier
Nous avons eu pour but de mettre sur pied une exposition pour soutenir le bijou contemporain en France et plus globalement pour soutenir le projet de loi sur les métiers d’art afin d’enfin reconnaitre au travail de la matière la possibilité d’être reconnu comme une oeuvre originale et non purement comme objet utilitaire. » Sébastien Carré -

Du 20 octobre au 12 décembre 2015, Sébastien Carré et Florine Menant présentent Transmission, une exposition de bijou contemporain et du travail artistique de la matière, au Studio 411 à Montpellier.

« Nombre de connaissances et de savoir-faire sont parvenus jusqu’à nous par l’intermédiaire de rencontres et d’échanges. Le contact et la communication ont permis de tout temps à l’Homme de se perfectionner et d’étendre nos compétences ainsi que nos connaissances. Nous avons déjà pu constater dans certaines cultures (où les échanges ont été ralentis ou stoppés) des connaissances ancestrales disparaissent et qui demandent désormais à être réinterprétées, réinventées, transmutées.
Cette exposition vise ici à faire prendre conscience que le travail de la matière ne doit jamais être réduit à un artisanat, il est bien plus que cela : il est vecteur de savoir, de culture et de sens. Il faut au contraire, bien plus le considérer comme une forme d’expression artistique contemporaine bien plus apte à faire rentrer l’art dans nos vies de tous les jours.
Célébrons les échanges et abolissons ces codes qui visent à tout faire rentrer dans des cases pour enfin réellement apprécier et vivre l’art de façon totale afin de ne pas laisser l’individualisme vider nos sociétés de ce qui fait leur beauté.
L’art n’a pas de frontière et ne demande qu’à se transformer. » Sébastien Carré

selected for SCHMUCK 2015 : Arnaud Sprimont

Arnaud Sprimont, « my colleague » from blog APPARAT ! HAPPY for him !

« What is my place in the infinite, what is my place in nature? The work of Arnaud Sprimont is like an open exercise, constantly questioning, evolving and morphing, never at rest. »

Arnaud Sprimont Brooch: My Body is a Chaotic Forest, Nr 134, 2013 Jesmonite, pigment, neodymium, magnet 6 x 4.5 x 3 cm

Arnaud Sprimont Brooch: My Body is a Chaotic Forest, Nr 154, 2013 Jesmonite, pigment, neodymium, magnet 6 x 5 x 2.5 cm

« My Body is a chaotic forest »
« As the point of departure to understanding these jewellery pieces of Arnaud Sprimont, I would like to use an idea from French philosopher Blaise Pascal (1) as a reference: what is my place in the infinite, what is my place in nature?
 Adopting the interrogative form as an approach to A.S.’s work is key and an integral part of what he does. His work is much like an open exercise, constantly questioning, evolving and morphing, never at rest.
A.S.’s work is rooted is his view of man. As the title of the “My body is a chaotic forest” exhibition makes unambiguously clear, he opens up his private life; the intimacy of his body, the privacy of his relationship with nature, and beyond nature, his vision of human nature.
At the outset, there is observation. Observation which is not confined to what the human eye can see. Using modern techniques, ranging from nano-scale imagery to satellite views, A. S. challenges the boundaries of his body and his perception of the world around him. The study of pseudomorphosisms is echoed in the perception of his own experiences. Reflecting and blending scales back and forth, the infinitely large finds meaning in the infinitely small, where an abyss of possibilities opens itself up to him.
Setting out from these studies, he then embarks on constructing a narrative. It is not about lending meaning to this infinite, but to talk about the tensions and romances felt, to highlight relations thought unlikely. In confronting the scales, A. S. composes his own history, seeks his path, gladly losing himself in the illusions there to behold. For, as he states himself, it is not about arriving at a set destination but rather about roaming along a vast path: “the work that goes into these pieces and forms is much like a very long walk in nature, where I am ultimately swallowed whole by the earth and I am at one with the rock. My lungs are like the moss around the trees and my arms can embrace the mountains, like the branches of a giant tree, while my spirit flies off like an owl into the night above the hills”.
By choosing to position oneself – both physically and mentally – on the edge of this infinite chasm, and as suggested by the title of the exhibition, in the face of chaos, one might think that the artists puts himself into an uncomfortable and harrowing situation. This is not the case. The road A. S. is walking is a serene path; the compositions he creates – much as they have a crude and elementary aspect – in the same way as seen in the sights of nature – are solid and compact. The use of two unique and opposite colours in the creation of the various pieces of this work, act to illustrate the artist’s acceptance to simultaneously skirt the depths of the dark night – synonymous with secrecy – and those of white light – which refers to knowledge.
Even when finding himself faced with difficult to fathom secrets, he remains undaunted by this immensity. A. S. is pursuing his path in nature, in his nature, and through his creations narrates the geology of his own body, finding its place in a matter in constant transformation. « -  Marie-Luce Martin, January 2014  (Apparat) (Arnaud Sprimont Solo Exhibition AT Beyond Fashion 2014 (Antwerp, BE)

COUP de BLANC avec Silke FLEISCHER – recent work

About the works « pickups & fittings » :

« A lot of it would be called nothing – a thing or an object or any word you want to give it. » (Eva Hesse)
The most recent series of jewellery artist Silke Fleischer embraces the everyday object as a precious thing. In ‘Pickups’ and ‘Fittings’ she focuses and zooms in on our relation with mass-produced objects, usually lacking our attention, but intrinsically sharing a hidden and purposeful design. A lot of these ‘things’ do not even have a name, exemplary for their daily ‘invisibility’. By picking them up and de-contextualizing them, Fleischer is redefining these ‘objects’ to ‘things’ (referring to Martin Heidegger on ‘things’: a thing is an object we appropriate and link closely to our personal life). What she creates is above all a ‘rendez-vous’, a fortuitous encounter with a thing that was plucked from its habitual context and promoted to another status. (Evelien Bracke)

COUP de COEUR ! Jasmin WINTER

Jasmin WINTER
« The pieces that I design are developed under the aspect of perceiving jewellery as an experimental object. In this, I have employed materials that are not always commonly used for jewellery (e.g. paper) and combined these with classical jewellery principles and wearing comfort. The focus of my work is upon surface design. Inspiration for the form is drawn from the interaction between man and his environment. Organic shapes, arranged like small cells,  fragile, brittle, multi-layered, suspenseful » (Jasmin WINTER, DE)

Necklace ’2 in 1′ – Silver, enamel, resin, and thread – 2009

Jasmin Winter – brooch Untitled 2008 – Silver, enamel

Ses bijoux me font penser à des tranches d’os à moelle, découpées, teintes, assemblées …. elle parle bien d’ « organic shapes » …. mais hé non, dans les descriptifs de matérieux, pas d’os en vue …..

(découverte sur les blog Apparat & Wearable Art)

 

will exhibit at « Grassimesse » (Leipzig, DE) Fair for applied art and design, from 29-31 Oct. 2010, in Leipzig 

Lore Van Keer – blanc, blancs, blancs ………

« My project is about being mentally and physically locked up.
The creations stem from the idea that every human being consists of one physical person and a multitude of emotional personalities.
In both cases you can create a space in which your thoughts and inner life are put in place.
In my work, I equate emotions and the diversity of emotional personalities with spaces. There are moments when we allow people to enter those spaces; and there are others when we close off the spaces and anxiously keep them shut.
In the same way, emotions can create both a feeling of openness and of isolation.
Bearing in mind that every feeling you experience is pure, you can create a private space to harbor each feeling. This private space is subject to your feelings at any given time and can therefore be either fragile or solid, either transparent or opaque.
Either way, every feeling, every emotion is pure at all times, just like porcelain.
Porcelain is a material that combines the elements of both solidity and fragility.  Porcelain has a memory of its own, which is, just like emotion, indelible and impossible to ignore. » (Lore Van Keer)

en fait, sous l’apparente candeur du blanc, sous cette douceur lactée, elle nous met en boite, littéralement …..  notre mental, notre physique, tout dans des petites boites …. le bijou m’attire, l’idée m’effraye …. Cela m’évoque ces pièces entièrement capitonnées de l’intérieur, où l’on enferme les « fous » ……. vous pouvez y hurler en silence ….. c’est censé vous protéger, tout doux et blanc et ouatiné, mais vous y êtes bel et bien enfermé …. aaah, l’innocence et la candeur du blanc ….. Dans la nature, tout ce qui est blanc est une « anomalie », l’animal ou la fleur « albinos » sont les plus faibles ….

PS : un petit bémol toutefois … parfois (de plus en plus souvent…) zéro commentaire, même le plus minime et, surtout, ce qui me frustre le plus, aucune notice sur les bjoux présentés : nom ? type de bijou ? date ? matériaux utilisés ? dans ce cas-là, il y a le lien vers le site du créateur ? j’y vais direct !
dommage ….
