Schmuck 2013
(see Saturday for more dates/timetable) Schmuck 2013 exhibition is the event this whole week revolves around. Jewellery designer, Bernhard Schobinger, hand chose the 58 artists that will be seen at the International Handwerksmesse during the Handwerk & Design Fair, the traditional site of exhibition. Each artist is showing a distinct and well developed style and trade, and although we sometimes need to explain ourselves in our field, these works have unarguably received the label 'jewellery'. Schmucks' longstanding history also tells us that these pieces will soon become our future icons; at least, the shrines the pieces are presented in make us want to believe it so. The famous Herbert-Hoffman Prize will be awarded to one Schmuck artist at 17.00 on March 9.
Talente is about the appreciation of young (up until the age of 33) design talent. The show presents handpicked designers, not only from the jewellery world, but various other disciplines like glass and ceramics. It's the perfect place to see what’s new from your favourite up-and-coming contemporary jeweller and to get inspired! Contributing designers can only be selected once in their entire career, so now is their chance to shine. Like each year, the winners of the Talente Prize 2013 will be awarded. See who they are on March 9 at 15.30.

EVENTS
Aperitivo Maurer Zilioli – Contemporary Arts,Brescia, Manfred Bischoff – Bruno Martinazzi kunstbüro reillplast Amalienstr. 21 8.3. 17:00–19:00 From Brescia, Italy, Maurer Zilioli Contemporary Arts will be showcasing two artist/goldsmiths deemed legends of the field. The work of Bruno Martinazzi (IT) and Manfred Bischoff (DE) converge on grounds beyond that of noble material preference, but also through their shared geographical territory and subtle reference points. Turin-born Martinazzi inherited a devotion to Italy’s visual history, while Bischoff’s references are chosen and interpreted more freely. Dr. Ellen Maurer-Zilioli, gallerist and president of MZ Contemporary Arts, comments on the pair: "For all this complex artistic directionality, what ultimately emerges into the focus of perception are idiosyncratic pieces of jewellery, bearing witness to an irresistibly fragile yet stunningly evident beauty that is on occasion presented with an absurd or ironic twist." The exhibition will boast a perfectly digestible amount of work between the two artists. If you’re new to contemporary jewellery, be sure to stop here at the very least (!); it’s a prerequisite to what else is out there, a must see, contemporary jewellery 101, if you will. And the best part is that the exhibition is hosted by the contemporary art gallery, Kunstbüro Reillplast, representing a school of young, but very able artists. CO is excited to see what kind of fresh fine-art eyeballs will land on this work consequently. Maurer-Zilioli always aims to bridge the gap between contemporary jewellery and contemporary art; after all, the gallery doubles as a Cultural Association aimed to do to just that, and we are oh- so thankful! Please consider attending the Aperitivo, Friday 8 March, 17:00

Part of FRAME galleries, the large-scale project, Handshake, unites students and aspiring designers from New Zealand with their idols. Imagine getting to meet your jewellery hero and call them by their first name, let alone get to design a piece with them. A dream. They also produced a book publication where all of their pieces are shown and their stories told. CO is just as excited as the young designers must have been and is keen to see the results of this brave overseas endeavour. On Wednesday at 13.30 pm the curator will introduce us to the artists and heroes from which we hope to hear some more.

SCHMUCK GUIDE
1
CO chose to write about Manon van Kouswijk’s delicate new work for our magazine’s first issue themed The Archetype. Why? She has long been obsessed with everything that resembles the beaded necklace. Van Kouswijk has now found an almost prehistoric link to her long line of work to which she shows a very personal and rooted connection. Amsterdam’s Gallery RA will present a great retrospective of her work, where her series of necklaces,'Perles d' Artistes,' especially ask to be held, worn and be perceived by other makers. Her series of brooches, “Ornamental Residue,” will also show a new direction taken by the artist.

Hannah Joris, Agnes Larsson, Mia Maljojoki, Mikiko Minewaki, Jorge Manilla, Ruudt Peters Text: Branching out from their online platform into the physical world, Jewellery Sessions 2013 have invited 17 contemporary jewellery artists to collaborate with a photographer of similar artistic visions, so that together they can work towards creating new photographic work. “The project is an artist initiative to investigate in and reflect on ‘crossover thinking’ in applied and visual arts.” CO really supports any kind of trans-disciplinary exploration, and so should you! THIS IS WHERE THEY MET will be represented by Stockholm’s Galerie Platina. Don’t miss the artist meeting at the Messe’s Schmuckbar, Saturday 11.00–15.00.

Positionen
Wittenbrink FUENFHOEFE, Theatinerstraße 14 6.3.–12.3. 10:00–19:00 Galerie Wittenbrink’s newest location, FUENF HOEFE, is conveniently more connected to Munich’s art scene and aims to host the latest in contemporary art as well as works by modern masters. Positionen is on this year’s Schmuck agenda, but we can’t quite tell you much about it, because we haven’t heard a thing! Perhaps the mystery is an intentional one, a simple reflection of the obscure communication practices that sometimes coincide with the world of contemporary jewellery itself. Who and what should we expect to see?
Shari Pierce and Jorge Manilla together discuss unrequited love, violence, passion and human nature. We aren’t quite sure what to expect from Pierce with, “He loves me, he loves me not,” yet if the new work is anything like what we’ve come to expect, it’s sure to be powerful to say the least. We’re also looking forward to how the two artists will overlap; for Manilla, “in the end, my objects are no longer merely materials and distorted shapes but rather dissected feelings, broken memories, and dry organs that reveal a naked soul and the fragility of our situation.”

Five Men
— 18:00 Tschechisches Zentrum, Prinzregentenstr. 7 Pavel Filip, Rene Hora, Pavel Opocensky, Martin Pouzar, Jiri Sibor.
Five Men offers five different opinions of ripe artists who are passionately concerned with geometry. This approach has an impact on their ability to contribute to the new morphology and ‘emanations’ in metal structured jewellery. CO is quite excited about René Hora’s brooches made from duralumin, a kind of aluminium alloy.

Matadero
Café Clara, Isabellastraße 8 6.3.–12.3. 11:00–19:00 (Monday closed) Claudia Betancourt, Ricardo Nano Pulgar Text: The MATADOR series, presented by Claudia Betancourt and Nano Pulgar of WALKA STUDIO in Chile, South America, “reflects on matters such as death, the relation between body and ornament, and the primal origin of corporal ornament and its sacred meaning, associated to the cultures from Latin America and the Pacific Basin.”
The five members of the kunst.wirt.schaft present their own individual work, as well as a ten-year retrospective of the gallery’s activities. When this description was written, the team, made up of Esther Engele, Gigi Haubenhofer-Salicites, Eva Schmeiser-Cadia, Anna Waibel, and Andrea ZahlbrucknerJaufer, wasn’t quite sure where the venue would be, as they planned a mobile presentation around the city. See if you can find them!

Two young talents, Melanie Nützel and Bernhard Simon have organized a duo exhibition at Galerie Artefakt, a place that seems to feature jewellery (both art jewellery and more sellable goodies) with high quality apparel. What’s on show by the two is a bit of a mystery yet we’re prepared to be impressed.

Schmuck malen
— 19:00 Steinheilstraße 16 Rgb. Choonsun Moon, Heejoo Kim, Hyorim Lee, Yeonsoo Kim. 6.3.–12.3. 10:00–19:00 Schmuck malen will feature the work of three jewellers: Hyorim Lee, Heejoo Kim, and Choosun Moon, as well as painter, Yeonsoo Kim, all from Korea, each with various training in Germany which brings them together for this exhibition. Lee’s work should overlap quite nicely with that of Heejoo Kim, both visually and concept wise, speaking of growth, life cycles, and change. Together, their work meanwhile compliments the absentness present in Yeonsoo’s paintings of interior spaces as if they are waiting to be filled with some similar vitality found in the jewellery pieces. Although not super similar aesthetically, the repetitive feeling found in Moon’s work mimics life’s potential redundancy in the most delightful of ways, echoing the sentiment of the other three artists indirectly. The exhibition will take place at an artist’s atelier open to the public that hopes to radiate a "private yet liberal atmosphere."
6.3.–10.3. 11:00–20:00, Sun 11:00–16:00 Akiko Kurihara will be exhibiting new pieces of contemporary jewellery alongside the geometric sculpture of artist, Go Segawa in, Was it a cat I saw? Kurihara’s work aims to highlight a real choice; her decision to use jewellery as another type of creative medium, the size of which just happens to suit her best. And if you look closely, you can see this, as the artist uses irony to make clever yet subtle one-liner pieces. They speak directly to the physical connection as the work bears a very physical weight, humorously rationalizing itself. Her honest and direct approach to jewellery keeps us interested.

Aftermath of art jewellery
— 19:00 Museum Villa Stuck, Prinzregentenstraße 60, Schmuck aus Oslo und München S.Bronger, E.Chun, I.Resell Elieson, S.Heuser, R.Vethal Stølen, L.Walker, N.Weber, R.Ziegle 7.3.–7.4 (Tue–Sat) 11:00–18:00 Norwegian “jewellery engineer,” Sigurd Bronger, initiated this project by bringing together some of the most innovative contemporary jewellery artists practicing today, four from Oslo and four from Munich*. An aim of the exhibition is to discuss what might be the future direction of the field. Lisa Walker is among the eight participants; a solid choice, as she has been known to constantly push the notion of what can be worn by stimulating such inquisition and her quip pieces. The beyond-unique material choice fellow participant, Stefan Heuser employs in combination with strong conception and selfreference makes this young artist someone to keep a definite eye on… while Eun Mi Chun will too present work of peculiar materiality not to be missed. CO expects this show to be comprehensive, satisfying and delightfully diverse; a true taste of the times and perhaps a clue as to future trends in the world of contemporary jewellery.
