Artist list
Wouters Hendrix, Lien Hereijgers, Rembrandt Jordan, Dimitar Stankov, Nico Taeymans, Dries Van Noten, Daisy Verheyden, Peter Vermandere, Anne Zellien
Dirk Schrijvers' collection is highly personal and often conceptual in nature. He collects jewellery that touches him emotionally; for him, a piece of jewellery does not have to be merely beautiful or wearable. His favourite items are brooches of an experimental nature; he sees them as sculptures in miniature. Not only the colour, but also the shape and the materials play an important part in his selection process.
The jewellery itself reflects a variety of themes and highlights the layered nature of the collection. In addition, the jewellery designers Rembrandt Jordan, Dimitar Stankov, Peter Vermandere, and Nadine Wijnants will be explaining their work and their special connection to the collector in more depth in a number of filmed interviews (viewable at the exhibition).
Dates and hours:
25 October 2024 - 21 April 2025, 10.00-18.00 h.

Activities:
- Exhibition catalogue: the exhibition Pinned! Contemporary Antwerp Jewellery is using greater than life-size images to display the impressive jewellery collection held by art collector Dirk Schrijvers. 200 pieces of jewellery that offer a unique insight into creations largely made in Antwerp by more than 60 designers over the past 25 years.
- Create our own brooch: a crafting table in the exhibition itself, using recycled DIVA brochures. Fun for all ages!
- Exhibition tours + a special edition of de Gouden Straatjes tour featuring several jewellery designers whose work is displayed in the exhibition.
- Workshops in november for beginners where they can create their own brooch, ring, or earring at DIVA’s atelier.
- Search for artist publications: There is no strict definition of an artist publication, as long as it is made by an artist. This can be a full-fledged book, a portfolio, a final project, or even a brochure. We will organize a presentation of these in the spring of 2025 in the reading room.

Discover the conceptual thinking behind the exhibited designs and the creative process of jewelry design.
