Following first pop-up exhibition Artist’s signature, which highlighted the individual creative languages of the participating artists, the next exhibition in the cycle turns to nature as a source of inspiration, material, memory, and process. It reflects one of the most significant directions in contemporary jewelry art – the ability to address global and pressing issues through objects of intimate scale.
“Terms gradually accumulate meanings, and when they no longer accurately describe what is happening, a new language becomes necessary. When speaking about contemporary jewelry art in Latvia, the phrase ‘inspired by nature’ is no longer sufficient – it has become too general. I am interested in contemporary jewelry as a sensitive sensor: between people and the environment, between touch and memory,” explains curator of the pop-up series, Ginta Grūbe.
