KLIMT02 2025. Community, Criteria and Contemporary Art Jewellery




From Information to Knowledge in a Cultural Ecosystem



1. What Klimt02 Is. A Cultural Infrastructure

Klimt02 is a cultural infrastructure built with a clear position: contemporary jewellery is not a niche product nor a decorative extension of fashion, but a fully-fledged artistic discipline that requires structure, continuity, and professional criteria.

At the core of Klimt02 lies a principle that defines everything we do: selection is not a technical act, but a cultural one. Klimt02 does not operate as an open aggregator. It works through editorial criteria and a transversal curatorial approach across all its content, artworks, artists, institutions, texts, events, and educational initiatives. Not everything is published. Not everything belongs. Visibility is a responsibility.

This curatorial stance allows Klimt02 to move beyond accumulation and become a meaningful framework for the field. By structuring, contextualising, and connecting information, the platform transforms content into knowledge. And knowledge is what builds legitimacy, professional trust, and cultural continuity.

In 2025, Klimt02 continues to function as an independent, community-supported project. What follows is not merely a report of metrics, but a portrait of an ecosystem: audience, content, and community working together to strengthen contemporary art jewellery as a cultural field.

    975 additional entries including events, jewellers, galleries, institutions, articles, interviews, publications, selections, and courses.

These figures reflect not only growth, but consolidation: an international presence sustained by editorial structure and an increasingly professionalised community.





3. Audience & Visibility - Relevance Over Reach

Klimt02 addresses a specific ecosystem: jewellers, designers, galleries, educators, schools, museums, foundations, curators, researchers, and specialised media. This is not an accidental profile; it is the result of editorial choices and long-term positioning.

The platform prioritises relevance over volume. Rather than seeking indiscriminate visibility, Klimt02 cultivates sustained engagement, repeated visits, and a relationship of trust with readers who actively shape the field. Its geographic stability across key cultural centres in Europe, North America, and Asia reflects consolidation: Klimt02 is present where contemporary art jewellery is produced, discussed, taught, and exhibited.

In 2025, Klimt02 remains a reference point not because it reaches everyone, but because it reaches those who give structure, meaning, and continuity to the discipline.





4. Content as Infrastructure. From Platform to Living Archive

Klimt02 functions as a living archive: a structured, searchable, and continuously evolving repository of contemporary jewellery practice.

With more than 70,000 artworks indexed, alongside thousands of entries dedicated to institutions, schools, museums, events, publications, articles, and interviews, the platform provides more than documentation, it builds context. Content is not accumulated randomly, it is selected, organised, and connected within a coherent framework.

In 2025, content development was guided by structure rather than volume:
  • A stronger presence of critical writing and in-depth interviews.
  • Expanded documentation of institutions, museums, and educational centres.
  • Continued mapping of artists, exhibitions, and international initiatives.
     
This approach transforms information into knowledge. What is structured becomes legible. What is contextualised becomes meaningful. Klimt02 thus operates as an infrastructure for research, education, and professional practice—preserving memory while actively shaping the present of the field.





5. Community as Structure. A Project Sustained from Within

Klimt02 exists because of its community. In 2025, 137 new members joined the platform, while 75% of existing members renewed their commitment. The network now spans 48 countries, reflecting both international reach and cultural diversity.

This community is the structural foundation of the project. Klimt02 is sustained by the contributions of its members and by partnerships with advertisers who share the platform’s values. This model guarantees independence, coherence, and long-term sustainability.

Rather than relying on external capital or algorithm-driven visibility, Klimt02 is built from within the field it serves. Members, institutions, and partners are not users or targets, they are participants in a shared cultural infrastructure.

Membership in Klimt02 is not a transactional service. It is an act of belonging to a collective project.





6. Editorial Criteria. From Information to Knowledge

At the heart of Klimt02 lies a clear editorial position: curation is not optional, it is the foundation of cultural credibility.

Every section of the platform is shaped by criteria, selection, and contextualisation. Klimt02 does not function as an open repository. This curatorial approach extends across artworks, artists, institutions, educational initiatives, and critical texts. Not everything is included. Visibility is granted through relevance, not through noise.

In a global digital environment saturated with information, the role of a platform is not merely to publish, but to give form to meaning. When information is structured and contextualised, it becomes knowledge. When knowledge circulates within a professional community, it generates trust, between creators, institutions, collectors, and the broader cultural field.





7. The Market as a Cultural Agora

Klimt02 conceives the market as a cultural agora: a professional environment where artistic practice, discourse, and visibility intersect.

For advertisers, institutions, and sponsors, the platform offers more than reach. It offers context. Visibility on Klimt02 is embedded within an editorial ecosystem defined by criteria, continuity, and professional trust.

This model redefines the relationship between culture and market. Rather than reducing artistic production to products, Klimt02 fosters an environment where value emerges from knowledge, quality, and shared standards.





8. 2025 in Context. From Expansion to Density

The year 2025 marks a phase of consolidation. Growth continues, but with increasing emphasis on structure, depth, and professional coherence. Content development privileges context over accumulation. Community expansion extends geographically while reinforcing internal standards.

This evolution reflects a shift: from expansion in scale to density of meaning. Klimt02 does not seek to become louder. It seeks to become clearer.





9. Looking Ahead. Building an Ecosystem with Structure

The next phase of Klimt02 is oriented towards strengthening the platform as a long-term cultural and professional infrastructure.

Key directions include:
  • A new platform with enhanced usability, technological capacity, and integrated services.
  • Deeper articulation between archive, education, institutions, and community.
  • Reinforcement of the member network as the core of sustainability.
  • Strategic collaborations aligned with Klimt02’s values.
The objective is not acceleration, but durability.





10. Why Klimt02 Exists. Building Trust Through Culture

Klimt02 exists to provide criteria, structure, and a shared professional language for contemporary art jewellery. It needs spaces where information becomes knowledge, where knowledge generates trust, and where trust sustains both artistic practice and cultural exchange.

Supported by its members and partners, Klimt02 operates as a collective infrastructure. It does not merely reflect the field—it shapes the conditions under which the field can exist.

To be part of Klimt02 is not only to communicate.
It is to take part in the construction of a discipline.
