Abstract
Exhibition dates: 8 Dec 2023 - 7 Feb 2024
Exhibition venue: Academic Center of Design, Łódź, Poland
Featuring the work, Damascene Brooch, by Sandra Wilson (sterling silver, 24ct gold foil, steel pin, 36,5 g, 30 × 105 mm, 2021)
As part of the ART&DESIGN 2023 Festival NIE_MATERIA, the Academic Design Center is hosting an exhibition from the cyclical International Jewellery Competition of the leading event of the Legnica SILVER Festival, organized by the Art Gallery in Legnica since 1979.
The competition is dedicated to designers and creators of artistic jewellery. It promotes creative explorations within jewellery and, at the same time, creative expressions on the problems of contemporary world. The theme of the current edition of the Competition is QUALITY.
What is quality nowadays? Is the growing awareness of consumers based - as it used to be - on an assessment of craftsmanship and the market value of bullion? Or is it drifting towards a concern for the welfare of the planet, a broader reflection on the maker's intentions and the relationship with the client? The material of goldsmithing is increasingly becoming the idea itself, which takes the shape of objects with a variety of styles that enter into a dialogue with the viewer. If the artist's message becomes more important than the formal aspects of jewellery, what is the ideological background? Are there, therefore, specific material manifestations and aesthetic determinants that define the quality of an artistic statement?
