-A fascinating and comprehensive picture of contemporary jewelry in the
21st century, illuminating the conditions and interconnections of
education, making, presentation, marketing and networking in design and
art, using the example of the New Zealand Handshake project -Kim Paton
(NZ) writes about teaching, Liesbeth den Besten (NL) about making, Sian
van Dyk (NZ) about curating, Peter Deckers (NL/NZ) about exhibiting and
Benjamin Lignel (FR) about collaborating, making this book a holistic
overview of jewelry's place in the modern age -A real treat for anyone
who is interested in in the visual arts at their broadest scope! In five
complementary contributions, recognized authors draw a fascinating and
complex picture of contemporary jewelry in the twenty-first century.
Through a rich palette of themes, works, reports and concepts from
current art practices, they illuminate the conditions and
interconnections of education, making, presentation, marketing and
networking in design and art using the example of the New Zealand
Handshake project. This book will enrich and bring pleasure to all who
are interested in the visual arts in their broadest sense! Handshake is
a unique mentoring programme in the art world, in which established
artists spread their knowledge to less experienced protégés. The
knowledge accumulated in this exchange, of a relationship based on
feedback, is realized in exhibitions and joint projects. Exhibition at
The Dowse Art Museum, Lower Hutt (NZ), 5th August to 3rd December 2017.
