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.
