We are listed on craftscotland under ‘What’s on’.
We are now in the last week of preparations for the show, eek! Everything seems to be pulling together quite nicely, touch wood. We look forward to seeing you all on the opening night!
Again, here is a more indepth overview of the exhibition;
Our end of residency show ‘THE COLLECTIVE :works‘ is to open April 30th and is the first public-space, public-access, self-curated exhibition we are due to hold over the coming months.
‘THE COLLECTIVE :works‘ promises to be an alternative jewellery exhibition, combining the contrasting design styles of five Jewellery Designers from across Scotland. ‘:works’ is set in an open installation exhibition, whereby visitors to the show are able to get up close to the pieces, stripping down the formalities of the traditional jewellery exhibit. The Collective’s aim as a group is to stimulate thinking and conversation on how Jewellery is perceived today.
‘:works’ puts on public display a strong collective body of work, covering a wide variation of issues & inspirations;
- the engagement of the individual design process
- sentimentality, concealment, and hidden histories
- social etiquette and the playfulness of touch
- the growth and decay of Islay’s coastlines
- the evocative strength of the industrial shipyard
The combinations and contrasts of The Collectives’ work provide a rich and fascinating platform from which to launch our first public event.
The event will be held in the Roseangle Gallery, Dundee, and is free admission to the public
