Description: | A hand carved jade pin exhibited as part of a Dresser Project curated by Liesbeth den Besten: Exhibitors include: Archive of Fine Objects: Clean objects collected in the drawer, are as contemporary de vertu Objets be considered. They are not all made of precious materials as a synthetic material, tin, beads or winning a mineral to valuable by the sophisticated operation of the artist who created it. The archive of clean objects shows how the goldsmith from craftsman to jewelery artist or -vormgever has evolved. Precious metals are only occasionally used, but if they are used is not for nothing: they must capture our gaze and attention and hold it, whether they are the supporting structure of a piece. The 11 participating artists filled their tray (s) with two- and three-dimensional objects. The prints, drawings, printings, and posters have different functions: it can be an illustration, or an independent work, sometimes it is a sketch that served as inspiration. The themes that touch the artists have a deep interconnectedness with the jewelery in all its connotations: etiquette (Bussche), the chain (Kouswijk), power (Lignel), the pin (Cheung), memory (Bussche), the pattern (Solar ), conversation pieces (Cheng / Brovia) and faith (Mackert). But the muse (Smit), poetry (Besems) and alchemy (Peters) serve as inspiration. Liesbeth den Besten |
