The shrill chirp of sneakers darting across a gymnasium floor that echoes down the hallway. The smell of freshly waxed floors and old books. The harsh clang of a locker slamming shut, punctuating the silence of an afternoon lull. If you went to public school in North America, these sights, sounds, hi and smells, should be all too familiar. They dredge up feelings of nostalgia and angst for a stage in our lives that’s often messy and transformative. This environment transports us to a time when we’re discovering our identity and formulating a belief system.
JV Collective’s studio is located in the former Edward Bok Vocational High School in South Philadelphia which was decommissioned in 2013. Years later the building has taken on a new life as a space for artists, small businesses, non-profits, and the like. But as we walk to our studio each day we pass by the auditorium, long rows of lockers, and empty trophy cases; vestiges of the buildings past life.
In a nod to this loaded locale, we sought out submissions of necklaces and pendants to be suspended and documented in the hallways, lockers, and classrooms of Bok. Each piece in the exhibition explores the theme of coming of age, formative years, and discovering your identity.
The final selection of jewelry includes broad interpretations of this concept and these ideas and were professionally photographed on location to help capture the ambiance of the environment. This reimagined, virtual version of In-School Suspension includes an online exhibition, a printed zine publication, and more exciting surprises!
