The Association for Contemporary Jewellery

is devoted to the promotion, representation, understanding and development of contemporary jewellery in the United Kingdom and abroad.

Founded as a membership association in 1997 and registered as a Limited Company in 2006, it recognises a need to foster discussion, debate and critical review and interaction amongst its members. To this end we organise conferences, lectures, seminars, workshops and an annual general meeting for our members. Our regular newsletter, findings, features reviews, information, comment, book offers and discounts and is of benefit to both our members and the wider public. We also produce a monthly e-bulletin featuring news and opportunities.

We welcome as members practising jewellers, associated designers and crafts people, educators, students, gallery owners and retailers, museum curators, critics and collectors - indeed, anyone with an interest in contemporary jewellery.

Comment by Rebecca Skeels on March 13, 2016 at 7:24am: A New Axisweb is Emerging

Aylwin Greenwood-Lambert, Hung (the Pencil Draws A Line Across The Spirit Level) - 1970's Version, 2012

After Over the past few months we have done lots of travelling to meet with people, compiled hundreds of pieces of feedback and conducted surveys with hundreds of artists.

As artists we try to do more with less and with limited time and resources, our aim at Axisweb is to help artists make more of what they have.

Starting in April, we’ll start rolling out exciting new features. We hope you like what you see, and we will be listening to your feedback. http://www.axisweb.org/thinking-and-ideas/2016/03/a-new-axisweb-is-...

The jewellery in the exhibition represents adventure and experimentation aimed at opposing and protesting against traditional customs, propagandizing a type of beauty that unifies provocation and aesthetics at the same time.

Jewellery long ago breached frontiers, and acts as artistic field research, participating in the current topics of art in our time. In our context, jewellery no longer represents a simple decoration or a status symbol, but an aesthetic discourse and artistic position that reacts to everyday life events, to personal history and experience, to worldwide developments and new forms of communications and perception. It handles the contents as contributions to the art, within and beyond the same classical frames. We are moving in an open space and every object, every piece contains the mind map of the singular artist and his or her cultural background.

In the exhibition 30 artists from the international scene will present the public with jewels and conceptual works, complemented with examples from the young collection of Nationalmuseum. In total there will be about 160 works on display. The selection of artists also covers the foremost academies and universities in the field of jewellery.
