Caroline Broadhead at CODA Museum

The oeuvre of visual artist Caroline Broadhead is not only wide-ranging and diverse but also symbolises an important development in the perception and presentation of jewellery art in the Netherlands. Trained as a precious metal forger, she initially makes jewellery that enters into contact and interacts with the body. The jewellery quickly transforms into larger objects that cover parts of the body and have movement and interaction as their subject. The collaboration with dancers lead to designs used in dance performances. Themes of subsequent works are shadows, reflections and a person’s intangible boundaries. The exhibition in CODA Museum shows work from the past forty years and gives an overview of Broadhead’s multifaceted oeuvre through spatial sculptures and installations, photography, jewellery and textile objects.
