THE BEST OF THE JEWELLERY ART IN VAASA!
The international KORU5 exhibition is a wide high-class overview of the contemporary jewellery art.
The triennial arranged by the Finnish Jewellery Art Association was organized in Imatra for the fifth time. The related exhibition has now arrived to the Vaasa City Art Hall. The jury, consisting of the jewellery artist Helena Lehtinen, the crafts and design expert Katarina Siltavuori and the PhD in Art, researcher, the visual artist Jyrki Siukkonen, has chosen 51 jewellery artists from 44 countries from the total number of over 360 applicants.
Jewellery art has often been considered as a part of the design and the arts and crafts. Contemporary jewellery art has more versatile identity: a jewellery artist can produce both art and objects that are seen as design or as arts and crafts. During the past couple of decades has the contemporary jewellery art shifted towards the contemporary art.
The modern jewellery artists emphasize their artistic points of view instead of the material and the functionality. The techniques and the materials differ from those of the traditionally jewellery. Instead of gold and jewels derive the materials, such as photographs, often from everyday life. Instead of the sheer beauty are the emotions such as joy, love, fear, pain and aggression included. When compared to the traditional jewellery, holds the modern jewellery art messages and symbols more open for different interpretations. The viewer can add his own meanings.
