Project / Glue/Glossy at Sieraad International Jewellery Art Fair
7 - 10 november 2013
With the project GLUE/GLOSSY, students and lecturers of the Jewellery Department of St Lucas University College of Art & Design Antwerp wish to ensure that art jewellery occupies a more prominent place in our everyday lives. Pictures of jewellery designed by students were printed on stickers which were then used to dress up the men and women shown in magazines.
It emerges out of past research projects by the department that jewellery made by artists needs a lot of time to reach a wide audience. This contrasts with accessories designed by hip labels and is in fact virtually unavoidable when you consider that the media only show examples of classical and fashion jewellery. As young jewellery designers, we believe that repeated exposure to new ‘examples’ in the media will lead to greater awareness of art jewellery and will strongly influence its acceptance. Taking a playful approach, GLUE/GLOSSY aims to promote art jewellery as something natural to wear.

Workshop / Lin Cheung: Without You I Am Nothing
British contemporary jewellery artist Lin Cheung, a lecturer and teacher at Central Saint Martins (London), came to Antwerp to lead the workshop ‘ Without You I Am Nothing,’ intended for second and third year bachelor students. In brief, Lin Cheung’s work approach revolves around the social, cultural and personal bonds between jewellery pieces and their owners, and she visualises the hidden values perceived in jewellery. To communicate her findings, Lin Cheung searches for various platforms to present her artwork. This perspective relates to the research project ‘UnScene: Jewellery and Presentation,’ by the St Lucas University College of Art and Design Antwerp, Jewellery Design|Silversmithing department.

For this year’s masterclass week at Sint Lucas University College of Art and Design Antwerp, the renowned Dutch multi-disciplinary artist Barbara Visser was invited by Hilde De Decker to hold the three-day masterclass ‘Re-presentation’.

Hilde Van der Heyden - BOF Project / Diamant, schaduw en schittering
Diamant wordt in onze maatschappij meestal geassocieerd met zijn commerciële kwaliteiten en zijn marktwaarde. Maar door zijn dubbelzinnige geladenheid kan diamant ook boeien. Zowel zijn schaduwzijde (de ontginning door armen) als zijn schittering (het dragen ervan) zijn immanent aanwezig in elk van deze fascinerende edelstenen. Diamantjuwelen getuigen zowel van de lusten als van de lasten. Hoe klein de sieraden, juwelen of objecten ook zijn, ze kunnen ongelooflijk veel betekenissen herbergen. Toch worden diamantjuwelen nog steeds in een clichématige context geplaatst en worden ze al eeuwen hetzelfde gebruikt: als luxevoertuigen voor de menselijke ijdelheid.

Presentation / Workshop Helen Carnac: Marking Place... Antwerp 2011 (BA3) / Open Campusdag
"What you see displayed here is a visual and written document of our original walks. The objects displayed in this circle are some that were found on the walks, there is a map detailing our journeys, images remembered by the group in words remembered 11 days after the walks were taken and a selection of all our images in a line on the wall, beginning at this end where we began on Sint-Jozefstraat. The students have connected their individual projects to an image on the line of the place that they chose to go back to and reflect on. This project is a formative part of the jewellery students’ studies, whilst it does not explicitly connect with what we may think of as jewellery, it is intended to encourage thinking around ideas such as collecting data, research, mark-making, the identity of a place, individuals and place and how we experience place by being in it, on our feet".

Deze lezingenreeks Confrontations kadert binnen het nieuwe onderzoeksproject UnScene, dat werd opgestart vanuit de opleiding Juweelontwerp | Edelsmeedkunst. UnScene vormt in die zin een vervolg op Vormat, een onderzoeksproject naar verbindingen door vorm en materie. UnScene focust op nieuwe presentatiecontexten voor hedendaagse sieraden. Het wil een platform bieden voor presentatie, discussie en onderzoek over ‘tonen’ en ‘presenteren’ in diverse media. In deze context werden Kasboekcollectief en Pieter Boons uitgenodigd om hun artistieke praktijk en ervaringen hieromtrent toe te lichten.
