A curated selection of jewelry and object- a sampling of important works from Ornamentum’s international roster of acclaimed artists will also be exhibited. November 30 - December 4 Collectors Preview Tuesday November 29. High Res images available. Lost Causes – David Clarke & Jaydan Moore Two artists are placed together in a conversation of comparison and contrast. While the starting point of both is often similar- finding discarded silver and altering to new effect... yet with very different concepts behind them, the results are strikingly different. In the words of Independent Curator Glenn Adamson: David Clarke has long been the key figure in British smithing, at least at its avant garde extremity. Equal parts bad boy and consummate master, his use of found objects and unexpected materials like sugar and salt inverts expectations, while his imagery incisively explores the domain of everyday domesticity. This exhibition places his work alongside that of Jaydan Moore, a young American smith whose interests and techniques bear close comparison to Clarke's but also strike out into new territory. Moore is more lyrical and draftsman-like in his approach; his works often feel like intuitive drawings, despite the hard craft that went into their making. This exhibition at the always - adventurous Ornamentum Gallery is a golden opportunity to see two of the leading lights of this demanding medium side by side.

It aims to examine and think critically about issues concerning body, fear and protection, the Biennial’s central themes, based on the various viewpoints in the history of art, design, aesthetics and philosophy within the context of the pandemic we are living in now. It plans to present various concepts related to these three major themes and thereby contribute to raising the level of public debate, as well as between peers, as to the role that art, particularly jewellery has today, and has had in these issues throughout its history.

  • The Handbag As Social Idiom and Carrier of Meaning: Inner Self Projected As Outer Person
    The Handbag as Social Idiom and Carrier of Meaning: Inner Self Projected as Outer Person Nanette Marguerite Nel Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Visual Arts at Stellenbosch University Supervisors: Elizabeth Gunter Carine Terreblanche November 2008 Chapter 4 The Body-Bag Collection and the Secrets Collection 4.1 Introduction Chapter 4 deals with development in my work. My attending a programme in Europe as exchange student influenced both the form and content of my work. I describe such changes here. I also discuss the role of the artist in the creation of meaning as opposed to the role of the viewer. This discussion contextualises my work’s meaning within a wider sociology of art and functions as platform for investigating unintentional and intentional meaning in my work. The Body-Bag Collection and the Secrets Collection serve as reference and subject under discussion. The discussion includes the origins of the Body-Bag Collection and those processes involved in its materialisation. This Collection continues on the private versus public theme of the previously-discussed Collections. Here I relate this theme to body- object or body-handbag relationships as re-created in jewellery. The last Collection that I discuss is the Secrets Collection. In this Collection I focus on objects as contents of handbags and their significations. 4.2 Transformation and Shift in Meaning In these two Collections, the objects represent idea as metaphor or idiom rather than singularity of form, relating a swing from the object as pivotal subject to concept as subject.

  • THING NOTHING 17 October – 15 November 2015
    THING NOTHING 17 October – 15 November 2015 Design Academy Eindhoven Van Abbemuseum The Van Abbemuseum is delighted to be able to host Thing Nothing. The exhibition explores the nature of things – as commodities, products, objects – and their limits. Together with Self Unself, 2013 and Sense Nonsense, 2014, it forms a trilogy of exhibitions held here over the last years that define the edges of design and its encounters with classical art, socially engaged art practice, con­ sumption and production. These exhibitions have come to represent a different side to the Dutch Design Week, where reflection on the status of the practice and the value of design in all senses can be found. Historically, this museum was limited to what were once called the ‘fine arts’. Function had no place here. From the 1950s onwards, this division between art and design (or use and uselessness as it was sometimes defined) was already being questioned. Yet the exclusive claim of fine art on the Van Abbemuseum largely held sway. After three years of co­operation with the Design Academy and Thomas Widdershoven; after the Museum of Arte Util and Confessions of the Imperfect exhibitions; after Li Mu’s current project in rural China and now with the new teaching role that the Van Abbemuseum has within the Design Academy, I hope that the spell has been broken and we can free ourselves to explore new boundaries and crossovers in general. The collaboration between the Van Abbemuseum and the Design Academy is crucial to this process and our two institutes are also vital to making the city of Eindhoven a dynamic place for rethinking relationships between specialisms.
