ManJewellery 2011
ManJewellery was the second in Part B’s series of one-day-only jewellery ‘happenings’.
On the 20th of November 2011, the research jewellery group Part B held an exhibition of jewellery for men, displayed on live models, in a setting where men are often seen to congregate. An inner city bar!
The above, and following photographs document the works as worn on the day.
If you make it to the bottom you'll also see a few shots of the event, and of course, the artists.
Thanks for coming along to see our show!

About Part B
Founded in 2009, the Part B collective meets monthly in galleries in and around Melbourne to discuss jewellery and related art exhibitions. Meeting information is distributed to an email list of local jewellers, comprised of students through to established artists. To date around 40 artists have attended at least one meet. The two happenings held over the last two years have drawn their participants from those attendees, as a minimum of a single attendance is a condition of participation.
These jewellery happenings are designed to challenge jewellers and audiences alike, exploring and deconstructing traditional customs of jewellery display in galleries, and the way that this style of presentation influences the viewer's engagement and interaction with jewellery. To participate in this interrogation, artists must have an attendant understanding of current jewellery concerns, in order to question or provoke them in a meaningful way.
With the current popularity of social media and declining local membership of professional bodies (witness the closing of the local Jewellers and Metalsmiths Group of Australia branch), it is interesting that a fledgling group is quietly flourishing, especially given its focus on firsthand experience of exhibited works and face-to-face communication.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I was so surprised to wake up to an inbox full of comments this morning, and chuffed too. Lorena, our crowd-sourcing ethos meant that each maker was required to bring their own jewels, and their own man. Oh, and Ben, cheers back to you too ;)
