ArtNews reported the following:

Stealing the Senses brings together international and New Zealand artists whose practices propose new ways of experiencing the world. This diverse group of artworks, largely newly commissioned and site-specific, includes collaborative and community involved projects, across a variety of media.

 

A key installation in the show, Gesamtkunsthandwerk is the result of a three month long collaborative project between NZ sculptor Francis Upritchard, Italian furniture designer Martino Gamper, and NZ based German jeweller Karl Fritsch. Not to be missed, Gesamtkunsthandwerk will also be shown atHamish McKay Gallery, Wellington, in mid-June.

Foliage and Ripe Fruit   2011

Here is a description of the show:

This year we invite a selected number of Australian and International artists to make contemporary versions of this ancient form of self expression. Expect to see works ranging from eye catching, oversized statement pieces, through to delicate pared back jewels. The only limitation will be that the finished work can be worn around the neck.

On Collaboration

While I am on a kick about the radio,
Michale Parekowhai and his sister were interviewed a few weeks ago.  I think that this is a very interesting idea of how a collaboration might work.

Photography and Jewellery

Hanna Hedman, jeweller  & Sanna Lindberg, photographer, are collaborating on show called “Still-Jewelry” opening at Silke & The Gallery.  So if you are in Antwerp......
Here is what the gallery has to say about the show:




Hanna Hedman & Sanna Lindberg


With the reference to still-life paintings and photography and its inanimate subjects. The photographs are portraits, but its main focus is not the person, but the jewelry. In most of my photographs the people are in many ways life-less with surreal elements.
I am interested in showing my art in diverse ways not just inside the glass-box. Installations, exhibitions, through wearing and through photographs.
