Sustained showcases selected work by 39 staff and recent graduates of the Central Saint Martins BA Jewellery Design course. Central Saint Martins are delighted to finally return to Vitsœ in Munich following a three-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing from Vitsœ’s inimitable design ethos and reflecting the breadth of enquiry encouraged at Central Saint Martins, Sustained will explore and celebrate the endurance of creativity during the exceptional circumstances of the past few years.
This year, alongside the course team, 2020 graduates Roanne Sanchez-Watts and Jo Harrison-Hall have been invited to guest curate the exhibition. Their curation, bringing together work from the classes of 2020, 2021, and 2022, is informed by questions surrounding both the temporal and functional nature of jewellery and its relationship to ourselves, our cultures and the natural world. The work will be presented on and around the timeless 606 Universal Shelving System, designed by Dieter Rams in 1960 and made by Vitsœ ever since.
The Central Saint Martins BA Jewellery Design course believes in a broad and experimental approach to the subject of contemporary jewellery and is proud to promote an understanding of a wide variety of materials and contexts within the field. Innovation, originality and individual identity are encouraged and developed, and students are supported in recognising and investigating the cultural, social, ethical and environmental issues relevant to jewellery and its manufacture. The graduates from the last three years have shown incredible strength and resilience in navigating through their studies during a worldwide pandemic; their creativity has flourished despite difficult circumstances. The graduate work is shown alongside the work of course staff as equals in a celebration of togetherness and sustained interrogation of the subject of jewellery.
Giles Last, Course Leader of BA Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martins, comments:
It is certainly both a delight and another step forward to be able to return to exhibiting at Munich Jewellery Week in collaboration with Vitsœ. Vitsœ provides a perfect setting and Munich Jewellery Week a terrific context in which to show the broad interpretation of jewellery by our students and our Graduates of 2020, 2021 & 2022, alongside work from the staff team created during or since the pandemic.
Jennie Moncur, Creative Director at Vitsœ, said:
We are delighted to be able to once again welcome Central Saint Martins’ Jewellery department to our Munich shop with an exciting exhibition of work created during a period of restriction. The theory that restraint stimulates creativity is unquestionably evident in the variety of jewellery on show. In addition, the second-year BA students have worked on a project based on the first of Vitsœ’s designer Dieter Rams’s Ten principles for good design, allowing them to explore the principle that Good design is innovative
Open: Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday: 10.00 - 19.00 h.
Friday: 10.00 - 17.00 h.
Sunday: 10.00 - 15.00 h.
