Invitation / Presentation workshop Pieter Boons (Heimat): Gone Girl

7/11 - 24/7 - open 24 hours; day shop, night shop. I am always available via email and I wear the latest Nikes, just bought on eBay.From this hyper-fast and multi-media society, 9 jewellery designers explore how 'preservable' their designs are. All designers are linked to St Lucas University College of Art & Design Antwerp; some as fresh talents, others have been working professionally for several years. The presentation is developed in a 1-week workshop, focusing on the display of contemporary jewellery and draws inspiration from the world of supermarkets, butchers and night shops. Only they manage to extend the time of their opening hours, although they still have no grip on the expiration of their products. Or do they?

Find out in this fresh exhibition (with very limited shelf life) how designers deal with the preserving of their own work.
