Mindful Mining. Department of Metalwork and Jewelry, College of Design of Kookmin University in Seoul

The exhibition title is a metaphor for the creation of a world of its own. Designing artistically means discovering something in nature or in the everyday environment that you usually pay little attention to and then give it a new meaning. The young artists at Kookmin University do nothing else. The procedure is similar to that of a miner when looking for precious ores and minerals. The finds became objects, symbols and finally again part of our world or things.
