Ornamentation is an exhibition that introduces 14 jewelry artists who each express originality through new and different materials. In addition to the existing works introduced in the  Chiwoo Newsletter, new works from the artists are exhibited at Ornamentation. The artists’ honest thoughts and concerns on their artworks are also shown through their interviews conducted for the show.

Contemporary jewelry is often thought of as small decorations adorning the human body. It enables visual self-expression, stimulation of human sensibilities, and communication with others. The exhibition hopes to not only show the panorama of Korean contemporary jewelry’s present day, but also provide a chance for people less familiar with contemporary jewelry to enjoy its charming side.
