Body Layer: Semblance and Self
Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre, Canberra, AU
27 May - 17 July 2021
Curated by Simon Cottrell | Researcher/Lecturer, ANU School of Art & Design.
With: Zoe Brand | Roseanne Bartley | Liesbet Bussche | Jing He | Cara Johnson | Lauren Kalman | matt lambert | Claire McArdle | Kristina Neumann | Tiffany Parbs | Halie Rubenis
This exhibition presents the works of 11 significant Australian and International artists who have ‘unpacked’ the semblance of self through jewellery, as a highly focused activity of visualising, materialising and articulating possibilities of self-knowing. Communicating extremely diverse liminal qualities, traits, or viewpoints of what it is to be a living social human. Once willfully applied/connected to the relationally active body of a wearer, the nuanced signifiers within these works activate a communication of self, on self. This highly specific action is at the fundamental core of, what is jewellery. For more information, check Craft ACT's website of or read the online catalogue.

Sieraad Art Fair - From Walter to Astrid
Westergasterrein/gashouder, Amsterdam
8-11 November 2018
Studio sieraad en onderzoeksplatform Precious Dialogue nodigen u van harte uit op de presentatie van ‘From Walter to Astrid’ tijdens Sieraad Art Fair in Amsterdam. Van 8 tot en met 11 november tonen studenten, onderzoekers en ontwerpers – op uitnodiging van organisatoren Astrid Berens en Maarten Bodt – sieraden die ze hebben gemaakt met kettingen van Walter Fischer. Dit bedrijf van machinaal geproduceerde kettingen schonk meer dan vierhonderd meter ketting waarvan elke deelnemer aan dit project tien meter ontving om een draagbaar sieraad te ontwerpen. ‘From Walter to Astrid’ kadert binnen het onderzoeksproject Speaking Jewellery dat het begrip jewelleryness verkent: welke artistieke kwaliteiten, zoals draagbaarheid, glans of detaillering, maken een object tot een sieraad?
Op donderdag 8 november staat Sieraad Art Fair in het teken van de ketting. Alba Cappellieri, docent aan Politecnico di Milano en directeur van het sieradenmuseum in Vicenza, geeft een lezing over de ketting (15:30-Engels) naar aanleiding van haar nieuwe boek ‘Chains’. Na deze lezing gaat kunsthistoricus en docent Juweelgeschiedenis Liesbeth den Besten in gesprek met onderzoekers Hilde Van der Heyden en Liesbet Bussche over het project ‘From Walter to Astrid’.
Op zondag 11 november (13:00-Nederlands) geeft onderzoeker Liesbet Bussche een lezing over ‘Stedelijke sieraden’, een serie interventies waarin ze archetypische sieraden zoals de parelketting of bedelarmband verbindt met locaties in de stad. Samen met ontwerper Ingeborg Vandamme buigt ze zich over de al dan niet bestaande grenzen van het hedendaags sieraad.

From Walter to Valerie
Valerie Traan Gallery, Antwerp, Belgium
8 February - 17 March 2018
Opening: Thursday 8 February 2018, from 16:00 until 21:00
Exhibition: From 8 February until 17 March 2018
Location: Valerie Traan Gallery, Reyndersstraat 12, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium
Opening hours: Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from 14:00 until 18:00
The Jewellery Design department of St Lucas School of Arts Antwerp presents, from 8 February until 17 March, the exhibition ‘From Walter to Valerie’ at Valerie Traan Gallery. Together with students from St Lucas Antwerp, international and Belgian designers will display pieces of jewellery that have been made using the industrially manufactured chains of Walter Fischer.
The exhibition takes place in the context of ‘Speaking Jewellery’, a research project initiated by the ‘Precious Dialogue’ research platform of St Lucas Antwerp. The project examines the concept of ‘jewelleryness’ from an artistic perspective: what are the qualities and characteristics that make an object into a piece of jewellery? The chain – as an endless series of interconnected links – takes centre stage in this project. Although it is rather insignificant in contemporary jewellery and mainly has a supporting function, it has the power to function as a piece of jewellery. It effortlessly follows every curve of the body and forms a perfect catenary when held up by its tips. What’s more, the chain has a rich archive of social, cultural and historical references and meanings.
Designers, students and researchers worked with chains made by Walter Fischer, one of the world’s largest chain manufacturers. Located in Idar-Oberstein, the company produces annually between 30 and 40 tons of chain that are mainly supplied to wholesalers, makers and labels in the fashion and jewellery sectors. For this project, Walter Fischer donated more than 400 metres of chain, each designer receiving ten metres with which to create a wearable piece of jewellery.
Participants: Conversation Piece (Beatrice Brovia & Nicolas Cheng), Lin Cheung & Veronika Fabian, Benedikt Fischer & Benedikt Fischer, Sofie Boons, Dries Dockx, Silke Fleischer, Anneleen Swillen, Charlotte Van de Velde as well as students and researchers of the Jewellery Design department of St Lucas School of Arts Antwerp
Students: Flo De Nyn, Nele De Vrij, Daniela Piano, Tieke Scheerlinck, Ruby Solon, Marit Staes, Lore Van Duppen, Djara Van Hove, Cleo Van Woensel
Research team: Liesbet Bussche, Pia Clauwaert, Hilde Van der Heyden

"(...) The 11 participating artists put two and three-dimensional objects in their drawer(s). The prints, sketches, and posters have various functions: it can be an illustration, or an artwork in its own right, and sometimes it is a sketch that served as a source of inspiration. The themes dealt with by the artists show a deep consciousness about jewellery and its connotations: etiquette (Bussche), the chain (Kouswijk), power (Lignel), the pin (Cheung), remembrance (Bussche), the pattern (Solar), conversation pieces (Cheng/Brovia), and faith (Mackert). Besides this also muse (Smit), poetry (Besems) and alchemy (Peters) are inspirational."

Embrace: 35 Years Françoise van den Bosch Foundation
Sieraad Art Fair, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
As board member and as participant, I'm proud to announce 35 Years Françoise van den Bosch Foundation at Sieraad. Definitely go and see! When & where: Sieraad Art Fair at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam, from 5 till 8 November 2015.
A young Dutch noblewoman made a name for herself with her jewelry designs far beyond her country’s borders – only to die much too young. This was the fate of Françoise van den Bosch, who was born in 1944 in the country town of Hilversum 30 kilometers south-east of Amsterdam. Three years after she passed away, her family and friends set up the Françoise van den Bosch Foundation, which celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2015. This anniversary will be celebrated at the Sieraad jewelry fair in Amsterdam with the exhibition curated by Liesbeth den Besten and entitled Embrace, which will be spotlighting pieces from the Françoise van den Bosch collection of Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum, including her own creations and those crafted by many winners of the competition named after her.

For The Kuopio Academy of Design, I will give a lecture and a workshop: 'FIN-ject, the Finnish quintessence of an object'.
Beyond Food and Design
C-Mine, Genk, Belgium
The exhibition 'Beyond Food and Design' is organized in the context of 20 Years Toegepast and deals with 'how food shapes our cities'. 30 designers worked on four topics: mining water, aqua farming, mushrooms and bees. As part of the Bee Building group, I printed a poster with ecologically produced honey to help the bees get through the winter. Interested? See http://www.beyondfood.be/.

The Wilde Things. The so contemporary jewellery collection of Mrs. Wilde
Z33, Hasselt (Zuivelmarkt 33, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium)
The intense and intimate relationship between jewellery and its wearer is unique in our material culture. Twenty-five contemporary pieces of jewellery from 'Mrs. Wilde's' collection together create a fictional story. Together the story/book written by Oscar van den Boogaard, the jewellery and a movie by Manon de Boer tell the story of Mrs. Wilde's collection of contemporary jewellery and the personal memories and meanings attached to them. In this narrative exhibition, jewellery as 'material memory' is interwoven with life.
With The Wilde Things, Z33 explores new presentation models for contemporary jewellery in a context (of the wearer) and within a narrative framework. Furthermore it takes a critical look at current developments within this discipline, which has evolved since the 1960s to become an autonomous, artistic, and reflective design practice.
