Applications are now open for the 3rd Edition of Artist Curated Jewellery Exhibition. Merging the worlds of Art + Jewellery, the third instalment in this ongoing series will be presented in our Berlin based showroom from September to November alongside an exhibition of the artists work.
As with our previous exhibitions we aim to disregard the borders between Art, Fine & Fashion jewellery, pushing forward simply with our appreciation of design in the form of jewellery and looking to give artists of both disciplines opportunities in the each alternative world.
Previous Exhibitions:
Curated By. (The Artist) - Berlin
Jewellery // Sculpture - Vienna
About the Artists
Our work is a balance between art and commerce. We produce for the need of a client and we often face the needs of the market. The commercial and digital aspect acts more an more into the evolution of our photography. The pictures we create are seen in a smaller quality and scale (e.g. social media via a small screen), we are asked to produce in series, clients thinks first about the distribution of an image rather than the image itself, they want us to shoot in digital and bring the analog flair afterwards. Less noise, less analog, more digital, no printing techniques involved anymore.
We wanted to go back to the texture, print, divide the colour layers of our images, understand what makes them powerful, summarise their data and just do everything that we can’t do when we have to sell our images to brands.
“Underside” documents this research as it goes along, questioning its own status as a photograph. This process is used as an investigation; about experiments pushing the limits of a photograph, its norms and its legibility. We are interested in the process, not just the finished product. How an image can be powerful in its other side. It shows the quality of the pictures, it simplify it. It is a reaction, a desire to create, to reply to the visual normalisation of nowadays. Bring the eye of the viewer with our filter.

Concept Call-out : 'An imprint'
"This curation is all about the duality, a fingerprint of two universes in one piece of Jewellery & Art. They meld disparate aesthetics, influences, genres, even daily rhythms, aided by a kind of radical receptivity to one another and the outside world.
Jewellery as a certain textural depth, a rough feeling, an adding of layers, forged, casted, including a printing feel. The main attribute is that they are reflecting the imprint or stamp (a mark or outline) on a surface."
