Author:
A comprehensive picture of contemporary jewelly in the 21st century, with contributions by experts in their field making this an overview of jewellery's place in the modern age.
In five complementary contributions, recognised authors draw a fascinating and complex picture of contemporary jewellery 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 realised in exhibitions and joint projects.
Exhibition at The Dowse Art Museum, Lower Hutt (NZ), 5.8. to 3.12.2017.
