Musings (words and things)

Listening to Mahler
02.03.2010 / 01:39 hrs.

Tonight Matilda is curled up on a chair, ostensibly sleeping off her dinner (chicken liver — a favourite). But her ears twitch. I am listening to a broadcast of Mahler’s 8th Symphony. She hears it, too. She likes music. When I play the piano she sits beside me. Occasionally she(...)

Broesvitrine

Erupt 2010
23.02.2010 / 20:42 hrs.

Another neckpiece, and this time from, what I assume are, all new materials: silicon rubber, glass beads and linen thread. The combination of those three things does not look like what you might expect from them. The beads don’t seem to be threaded. The linen thread is(...)

Is there a place for enamel in contemporary jewellery practice?
04.02.2010 / 16:01 hrs.

Over the last few years I have been conducting a research project entitled “Innovation in Vitreous Enamel Surfaces for Jewellery”. What underlies this rather clumsy title is my preoccupation with the place of enamel within contemporary jewellery practice, and on a more personal level,(...)

TO THE LIGHT, THROUGH THE NIGHT: International Jewellery Exhibition JUST MUST

(...) Hope gives us courage to carry on. A gift involves hope. An artist’s gift is greater than that of other people, and as with any gift, the bearer must reciprocate. Somebody always needs to be saved. The artist speaks to all, even if only a few will listen. (...)

Kadri Mälk and her inevitable imperative

(...) I have never understood why conceptualism is so often confused with communal propaganda in Estonian art. In Just Must, the conceptualization has been put in place very exactingly, and is zestfully well-tempered, it doesn’t do anything ostentatious but it certainly is dramatic. (...)

Where? Wear? Worn?

>> New article at section Forum:

(...) Walker is clever. She has recognised jewellery’s capacity to provoke and to critique notions of the ‘decorative’. In her practice she challenges the fundamental premise of the craft, one that historically has preference for skill, technique, preciousness and glamour. (...)

For an ecumenical communication within Contemporary Jewellery

Did we need two youngsters from Barcelona in order to be able to create a new and pioneering resource which would throw open windows and throw down blond plaits, take biblical doors off their hinges and build Brooklyn-type bridges between jewellery lovers around the globe, workers in the sector and all the curious Ulysses’ navigators gravitating around the world of Contemporary Jewellery? Obviously we did. (...)

Repeat after me

(...) if an object is good once, it will be good 20 times over, is what fuels this essay. My more seasoned conviction, that contemporary jewelry needs the visibility that editions would provide, also plays a part. (...)
