Artificial Intelligems is an artistic research exploring Machine Learning (A.I.) within jewellery practice. The first project will be presented during Munich Jewellery Week through an online event consisting of live dreaming sessions and a series of reflective talks (11th till 14th of March).

During these live dreaming sessions, the algorithm envisions a flow of constantly transforming, blending, glowing jewellery based upon the 969 images of jewellery it was trained with, sent in by 124 artists! Generating these ‘ornamutations’ in real-time, the project urges to reflect upon making processes, wearability, materiality, tactility, value, authorship, human-centered design… This is the first time that the collectively created, living, multidimensional jewellery will be shown. Join us for this unique experience!

Artificial Intelligems is a collaboration between Anneleen Swillen (artist, researcher, and tutor) and Greg Scheirlinckx (composer, sound engineer, and programmer), an AI and many practitioners.

It’s part of Anneleen’s current postdoc research.

The event and website are generously supported by UHasselt and PXL-MAD School of Arts, Hasselt, Belgium.

From the Curator: An Unreasonable Exhibition

I almost gave up before it got started...

then I reminded myself to be "unreasonable"

Feel the Frill – the Ginsburg Gauntlet is a very personal exhibition for a number of reasons. By nature, I am a tactile person, but not how you might think. Curating and hosting an exhibition via a flat computer screen goes against everything I know and have strove to cultivate in the past two decades. My passion for this work is rooted in the continuous journey and camaraderie of communicating with the artists, collectors, educators, media and the public. My definition of wearable art is not about jewelry as in common vernacular, but is synonymous with texture, scale, quality of craftsmanship (okay, crafts person-ship), creativity, unexpected use of materials, and conveying a non-verbal message. It does not have to be beautiful, elegant, pretty or even acceptable, but it must be thought-provoking, a conversation starter, and, above all, must be meaningful to the wearer. Often, the owner is willing to make a bold statement (or even a quiet one) and consequently, may receive a misguided commentary about of their aesthetic choice. ...Read the entire curatorial statement: https://www.sculpturetowear.com/from-the-curator

Sculpture To Wear Gallery has a 21-year history of curating and hosting poignant, cutting-edge exhibitions by award-winning international artists. In keeping with this tradition, we are seeking edge dwellers, truth-seekers, and history makers to participate in a timely exhibition honoring Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who “changed minds and made change happen" The on-line exhibition will feature wearable art collars similar to those worn by the Notorious RBG herself to challenge, “throw down the gauntlet”, evoke opinion, dissent, or non-verbal expression ushering a distinct message, often against the establishment.

The honorable Justice Ginsburg’s Jabots “had a language of their own” that transitioned into “Collars of Dissent”, wearing each one with a deliberate “call to action” for Equality and Justice. Due to the paramount importance of continuing her message and the response we’ve received already, we are opening up the floor to include all mediums of ART : paintings, sculpture, photographs, quilts, textiles , etc. honoring the remarkable achievements of the Great Equalizer.

The show, conceptualized and curated by Lisa M. Berman , Visionary Proprietor of Sculpture To Wear Gallery.

12 Februaryr-10 March, the fifth presentation of "Eloquence of paper, jewelry" will take place at  Galeria Autoria at Porto, Portugal.

Opening: 15 February, 15.00.

Curator: Luis Acosta

"Eloquence of paper, jewelry" is a collection of Contemporary International Jewelry in which 24 designers participate.
Often, paper is classified as an ephemeral material due to its lightness. Too fragile, too strong, perhaps, to carry the art inscribed in it.
However, the paper is aware of its own materiality, calling the creators to claim its delicate surface as a means of expression.
Wrinkled, folded, dyed, or sewn, paper stimulates our curiosity and facilitates our own inspiration. Although simple, flat, and affordable, it is magnified, enhanced, and transformed with the abundance and moderation of those who manipulate it. There are other materials that, sometimes, are confused with paper and this exhibition gives them an opportunity. It is intended to go beyond the language of paper. This exhibition is not about the paper jewelry itself, but about something that suggests it, regardless of the material and technique used.
