We had a good turn out for the opening, thank you to everyone who came.

When the exhibition was installed in Hong Kong it included a blackboard where the audience was asked to write/draw their response to the question 'Why Jewellery?'

For the exhibition in Brisbane we have a clip board with pencil and paper asking the audience to respond to the question 'Why Jewellery?'

It was good to see it being used. We will compare the responses from Hong Kong and Brisbane...

It was fun to unpack the boxes of work to reveal the pieces for the exhibition. Nick and I had seen them all before in Hong Kong, but for everyone else helping it was exciting to see the works from HKBU for the first time.

There are some definite similarities between the ideas being explored through jewellery. The materials being used are diverse. And appear to be used for both their aesthetic and symbolic value. There are, as would be expected, works in metal, silver, copper, brass and gold. There are works with gem stones and enamel. But there are also pieces that feature photographs, tooth picks, desposible lighter heads, hair and throw away plastic. The works that have originated from two different university departments in different countries sit well together to make an impressive exhibition.

Why Jewellery will open in Brisbane soon!

9/4/2015

 
We are pleased to announce that the exhibition will open in the Webb Gallery at QCA soon. It will be interesting to see the works installed again in a different venue. No doubt new discussions will arise. 
If you are in or around Brisbane please join us on Friday 18 September 6-8pm for the opening.
