Velvet da Vinci is pleased to present the first US solo exhibition of jewelry objects by Helena Johansson Lindell. The exhibition will run from November 4 through December 6, 2015. An opening reception with the artist will take place on Friday, November 6, from 6-8pm.
Born in Huskvarna, Sweden, Lindell creates one-of-a-kind wearable works, utilizing material substances such as wood and plastic from found objects. Deconstructed, altered, and then reassembled, everyday cooking tools and children’s toys are transformed from their initial incarnation into playful but modernist adornments for the body. Minimal in aesthetic and configuration, each piece is turned on a lathe, rendering smooth, sensual, and brightly colored forms. On her most recent body of work, the artist has stated:...

ACJ Members are welcome as guests to the forthcoming Society of Jewellery Historians lecture, given by Dauvit Alexander. The lecture takes place at the Society of Antiquaries of London, Burlington House, Piccadilly (north-west corner of the courtyard, past the Ai Wei-Wei trees), on Tuesday 24th November starting at 6pm sharp.
Interested ACJ members should notify their intention of attending through the SJH website - see below. They'll have to give their names on arrival and sign in, where SJH's Membership officer will be supervising the attendance book on the door.
Dauvit Alexander: Précis of “Digital Tools and New Technologies in Contemporary Jewellery”.
The future is history which hasn’t happened yet, and there can be little that has happened in the last few years which is as futuristic as the much-discussed, much-misunderstood “3D Printing”, yet this technology has been with us since the 1970s. It is widely described as being a ‘disruptive technology’, yet its power to disrupt seems, on the face of it, limited to the production of pointless plastic objects.
Dauvit Alexander will discuss the impact of this technology on the jewellery industry, where it has been widely adopted and is quietly driving a new industrial revolution.

Play Jewellery – wearing, making, thinking.
Contemporary jewellery is a minor genre within the fine and applied arts that developed by leaps and bounds in the early 80s. Today, the scene is anchored in a global network where it has grown into a vibrant movement dealing with the subject of jewellery. The movement began in Europe and has spread to a worldwide dialogue. Each country approaches the subject differently based on the concerns of its culture and society. Last spring Japanese jewellery artists Mikiko Minewaki and Kimiaki Kageyama received the internationally renowned Herbert Hofmann prize in Munich, Germany.
Even so, the Japanese scene lacks an understanding of jewellery as an artistic media worthy of dialogue, critique and sometimes even praise. They are yet to move beyond craft and fashion, and Otto Kunzli’s exhibition is an important step forward.
This program will promote the exhibition while offering a fresh viewpoint through workshops, guest speakers, seminars and displays of the diverse styles of art jewellery within Japan.
Program organized by Schmuck2 and Makiko Akiyama in cooperation with method inc.:

With the Mobile Gallery Akihiro Ikeyama proposes a flexible exhibition—one that travels on the back of a bicycle—as a metaphor for the nature of jewellery and how it accompanies us in our everyday lives. The Mobile Gallery will pass through the streets of Meguro, Ebisu and Shibuya to display jewellery works by Akihiro Ikeyama, Jun Konishi, Saika Matsuda, Ryuichiro Nakamura and Maki Kawawa. Follow its route marked on the map.
All artists graduated from the Hiko Mizuno Jewelry College in Tokyo and except for Maki Kawawa completed their studies with Otto Künzli at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts.
