The current exhibition at Gallery Beyond in Antwerp (BE) is curated by Christian Hoedl. He invited five jewellery designers and two photographers to participate in the exhibition. Participating jewellers: Anne Eichenbach, Alexander Blank, Paul Adie, Adam Grinovich, Florian Milker. Participating photographers: Daniel Mayer & Victor Darmont. There is a very interesting interaction between the photos and the jewellery, even though there is no jewellery in any of the pictures. I thought that the people in the pictures looked like the people who could be wearing the jewellery in the expo. In the pictures by Victor Darmont you can see young guys photographed in their own habitat. They really match well with the works by Alexander Blank, as he is often inspired by street art. The pieces by Adam Grinovich really look very impressive in real life! The amount of detail on every side of his pieces is truly overwhelming. The contrast between his work and that of Anne Eichenbach and Florian Milker creates a tension that proves the curators feeling in mixing different designers. All of the jewellery is presented in small groups with pieces of all the designers next to each other. It is really fascinating how cohesive the exhibition looks. 07/05-24/07/2017 Gallery Beyond Sint Jorispoort 27 2000 Antwerp Belgium www.facebook.com/events/1396821577051907/ Gallery Beyond will also be participating in Kunst Rai Amsterdam, an art fair showing the contemporary art of about 60 galleries including Dutch jewellery galleries RA, Marzee and Rob Koudijs

'Your eyes burn like wild fire' LOVE PASSION OBSESSION DEATH Curated by Jan Van Woensel This is an annual exhibition organized by Vonk; an organization that provides workspaces for artists from different disciplines. Painters, sculptors, jewellers, photographers... can rent a space at different locations in Genk and Hasselt (BE) at very affordable prices. This year they invited curator Jan Van Woensel to create the exhibition. He used work of all the artists who rent a space and also invited other (international) artists. This way he created a very interesting and dynamic expo with a very interesting dialogue between a lot of different art forms. The show is presented in an abandoned monastery, a beautiful location with a lot of character. On the downside, it created a big challenge to present the art; a lot of different rooms and a lot of cleaning and paintwork. He and the artists succeeded in presenting the pieces in a way that the location doesn't overpower the art. List of participating artists: Anti-Anti, Michelle Breemersch, Johan Bruninx, Clarisse Bruynbroeck, Sandra Buyck, Katrien Claes, Christine Clinckx, Liesbeth Cox, Lisse Declercq, Bart Deglin, Margo Devoldere, Els De Ceuster, Flo De Nyn, Nele De Vrij, Lin Gerritse, Sara Greet Gilis, Joke Hansen, Juan Harnie, Jerry Heymans, GV's Junkband, Brecht Koelman, France Lejeune, Katie Metcalfe, Marnik Neven, Gianluca Nobile, Kumi Oguro, Öznur Öztürk, Daniela Piano, Billie Pollet, Rogier Rensen, Sarah Reynders, Tif Robinette, Cult of Slaves, Stefanie Schaut, Tieke Scheerlinck, Ruby Solon, Marit Staes, Machteld Steukers, Bob Szantyr, Shana Teugels, Louise Thesaus, Lore Van Duppen, Djara Van Hove, Anke Verret, Yannick Wijnants An expo worth visiting! 24-28/05/2017 13h-17h Regina Mundi monastery Kloosterhof 2 3600 Genk, Belgium Future crafts is an expo in Bruges (BE) organized by Handmade In Brugge at The Makersrepubliek and is curated by Kristel Peters and Mathilde Vandenbussche. The themes of the exhibition are the use of sustainable materials and new techniques. There is work on show by designers from different disciplines, but I'm going to highlight the two jewellery designers: Billie Van Nieuwenhuyzen and Margot Declerck. They both are young, Belgian designers who did their masters at the PXL/MAD University in Hasselt, Belgium. Their work fits perfectly within the themes of the expo. Billie uses old cable waste which she melts and weaves to create wearable contemporary jewellery for her 'Edelplast' project. The collection exists of a variety of patterns and colours depending on how she cuts and melts the cables. Margot uses empty glass bottles to create a series of brooches and necklaces. She cuts the glass in different angles and fills up the negative space with plastics to create a colourful collection called 'The spoon as an elemental form'. On 10 May they will also organize a workshop on upcycling as part of the expo. Participating designers: Sep Verboom, Thomas Lommée, Haspenwood, RE-DO, Atelier Nauwau, Edelplast, Exclusive Drums, David Hakkens, Designers in Residence Kortrijk, Atelier Jaques, Margot Declerck, Kristel Peters. 15/04-14/07/2017 De Makersrepubliek, Brugge, Belgium. www.handmadeinbrugge.be/Future-Crafts |
