Lecture / Sieraad Art Fair

On 8 November 2018 at Sieraad Art Fair, researchers Liesbet Bussche and Hilde Van der Heyden gave a lecture about 'From Walter to Astrid'. This exhibition presented jewellery from researchers, designers and students of Studio sieraad made with chains of Walter Fischer, one of the world's largest manufacturers of industrially produced chains. Being a part of research project Speaking Jewellery, 'From Walter to Astrid' explored the concept of jewelleryness: Which artistic qualities such as wearability, shininess or detailing, turn an object into a piece of jewellery and are specific to this field?
