<p><br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-4" style="color: #3366ff;">gar·nish</span><br/> <span class="font-size-4" style="color: #3366ff;">ˈgärniSH/</span><br/> <br/> A garnish can be anything from an adornment that adds or enhances the body (human or animal) to a functional or nonfunctional object that decorates and spices up a room. This exhibition will ask viewers and participants to examine the idea of a garnish made by 2 different subsets of makers who have come together to create an embellishment that satisfies both. We are looking for an element of surprise in the resulting work. Display of humor is encouraged.<br/> <br/> <br/> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Verb</span><br/> 1. To provide or supply with something ornamental; adorn; decorate.<br/> 2. To provide (a food) with something that adds flavor, decorative color, etc.<br/> 3. Law<br/> a. to attach (as money due or property belonging to a debtor) by garnishment; garnishee.<br/> b. to summon in, so as to take part in litigation already pending between others.<br/> <br/> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Noun</span><br/> 4. Something placed around or on a food or in a beverage to add flavor, decorative color, etc.<br/> 5. Adornment or decoration.<br/> 6. Chiefly British: a fee formerly demanded of a new convict or worker by the warden, boss, or fellow prisoners or workers.<br/> <br/> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Origin</span><br/> Middle English (in the sense ‘equip, arm’): from Old French garnir, probably of Germanic origin and related to warn. Sense 1 of the verb dates from the late 17th century. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>2. What are we looking for?</strong></span><br/> <span style="color: #ff0000;">Metalsmith and jewelry artists are asked to form two-person working partnerships. </span></p>
<p><br/> <span style="color: #ff0000;">Each pairing should consist of a maker who self-describes as “traditional,” the other self-describing as using nontraditional materials and/or decidedly current techniques. In essence: 2 diverse approaches should be clearly evident in the resulting work.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Some artists may find it difficult to fit their work within a predefined category, in those cases we suggest they aim to cooperate with an artist whose material choices are <strong>decidedly different</strong> from their own, i.e. someone works in metals mostly, how about teaming up with an artist who works with fibers predominantly, enamels - CAD, functional - nonfunctional... The combination possibilities are endless if you are open to new possibilities and experiences.</span> <br/></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">While the exhibition organizers have <span><span class="UFICommentBody"><span><span><span>their own opinions on what they feel classifies as "traditional" or nontraditional, other people view things differently, some of our opinions may match up, and some not. In the end it's not the organizers' call to put work into categories. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span><span><span>We hope that folks will genuinely stretch themselves to pick a partner whose work is outside their own comfort zone, someone</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> they would typically never consider working with (simply based on the differences listed above) under any other circumstances. As an example: Brigitte</span> <span>(classically trained goldsmith) and Rachel (maker of strange mixed media adornments) will also collaboratively create a piece as an example of a possible partnership. They are excited about the opportunity and you can follow their progress along in this blog once they get started.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><br/> <br/> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">3. Documentation</span></strong><br/> An important part of any collaboration is the communication/work phase itself. The organizers are interested to receive a joint statement from the makers as to how the collaborative process worked out. If there is enough room at the exhibition locale, that information will accompany the exhibited pieces.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">4. How to find a partner:</span></strong><br/> This is meant to be a FUN project. If you ever wanted to work with someone whose work is completely different from yours: This is your chance !<br/> <br/> <strong>Option 1:</strong> Artists are invited to self-select their partners based on prior knowledge and interest. <br/> <br/> <strong>Option 2:</strong> Artists can register with the exhibition organizers and be paired with someone who works on the opposite end of the making spectrum. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>5. Exhibition Details:</strong></span><br/> <br/> <strong>a. Core Group</strong><br/> The Core Exhibition Group will travel to every exhibiting venue.<br/> <br/> Core Group Jurors:<br/> Brigitte Martin and Rachel Timmins<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <strong>b.

Craftsmanship, dedication to the concept of the show, diversity, intrigue, and interpretation of the call will be considered.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>6. ELIGIBILITY</strong></span><br/> This exhibition is an open call to all metals and/or jewelry artists.
