About volumes

Tuesday, 27 June 2017, by

From June 29th till August 27th a new interesting jewelry exhibition in one of the most beautiful city of the world: Venice, in Italy. About Volumes is a contemporary art jewelry exhibition curated by A/dornment – Curating Contemporary Art Jewelry and organized in partnership with Valorizzazioni Culturali. The partnership is in a broader perspective of a larger redevelopment of an area near the Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge), in the heart of the city. The space is located in what is historically considered the area dedicated to the jewelry production in Venice, the Sottoportico degli Oresi. The desire is to bring back to the top an ancient tradition, reading it in a modern, innovative and experimental way.

The exhibition presents a varied and different selection of jewelry pieces. From the apparent heaviness of wooden jewels by Fabrizio Bonvicini, to the metal and segmented geometric evolution of the creations by Martacarmela Sotelo.

The formal optics illusion features the volumes of Anne-Sophie Vallée and Wing-han Wong, the first through the dynamism of shapes that change using magnets, the second through the tangle of wires. Rie Makino and Ria Lins produce different type of jewelry, in both cases the result of a careful and sophisticated work of fabrics and metals sewn together. María Eugenia Muñoz Curbelo points to interactivity, with her playful and ironic version of pendants-colored kaleidoscopes.

Pieces made by Zeta Tsermou express the pure essential graphics, while Iro Kaskani explores the idea of space and symmetry through the combination of precious and non-precious materials. Letizia Maggio submits a new collection of silver and limoges porcelain necklaces made with photographic print. Myriam Bottazzi presents a collection of necklaces composed of imperfect.
