Why Jewellery ? 3 coming up in 2019!

11/11/2018

 
The gallery in Hong Kong has been booked for September 2019. We are waiting to find out about our gallery booking for Brisbane,  As soon as we have the Brisbane gallery confirmed the planning for the 2019 exhibition will be shared.

As we have more graduates from QCA who will be eligible for inclusion, a call for expressions of interest will be used to aid with the selection process.

We are excited to see what the works for 2019 will be. Will there be obvious shared concerns or interests between the  exhibitors from both countries?

The exhibition is almost installed!

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.

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.
