In the artistic practice of the late 20th century, we have started to gain insight into the humbling nature of creative processes. Every creation is a transformation, a becoming, not only of matter, but of the artist as well. We are injected with inspiration through the subject. Matter makes us better. We are constantly becoming, underway to existence as toward a full-grown concept, a finalized form, although not often reached.
So what are we becoming when we create? Is contemporary jewellery a medium that helps us in accomplishing our transformations? Do the materials we use change us? Or do we change materials?
In Fieri is the exact state where being made and becoming tellingly overlap.
On the occasion of the first Brussels Jewellery Week, we invite you to the ever-changing city of Brussels to experience and be part of In Fieri.
 
in fi·​e·​ri | \ ˌin-ˈfē-ə-rē \
1. being in the process of accomplishment; pending
2. beginning to have existence; not yet completely formed

In the heart of the Dansaert district, more than 100 contemporary jewels will be shown during the exhibition IN FIERI. A brooch made of sugar, a necklace made of trash or a torn shirt transformed into a piece of jewellery. You can discover it all at MAD, Home of Creators.
IN FIERI, which in latin means "in the making" refers to the transformation of materials but also to that of the artist. It is the stage where "being made" and "becoming" overlap in a significant way.
