May 21st, leaving evidence of their passage by way of the photo shooting which will be setup on the opening day, Sunday April 10th 2016, from 4:30 pm until 7:30 pm. In this occasion, visitors attending the exhibition will be able to wear some of the exhibited jewellery and be" immortalized", interacting in an entertaining way with works of un-conventional jewellery coming from different parts of the world: Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Finland, Greece, Israel, Russia, Korea, Colombia, Venezuela and Chile.

Paola Volpi, in collaboration with Nahye Ko, will exhibit at the “21st Century. Design After Design” - XXI Esposizione Internazionale della Triennale di Milano, from April 2^nd 2016.
Over the past few years, Creativity has increasingly oriented its research towards new languages, in line with current trends, at an international level. A research geared on identifying emotional objects defined by quality, experimentation and innovation. Exhibited are high level works where the jewel becomes the protagonist: sculpture/objects distinguished by full and concurrently fine volumes, enhanced by colours and transparencies. Resins, silicone, porcelain, silver, lacquers, metal meshes and wood are the materials that give life to these fashion jewels.
The contemporary jewel is an artefact often made with materials not bound to traditional jewellery making. It is a sculpture object which re-defines the surrounding space and becomes a jewel when it is being worn.

The pictures of the photo shooting will be made by the photographer Elisa Perotti and will be given as a present in web-format to those who want to be portrayed. The exhibition will show actual collections, on display and for sale.

This proposal is in line with Creativity’s choice of creating a network that extends beyond the local boundaries, from a viewpoint of exchange given by the ongoing collaboration between artists, artisans and the gallery. Thanks to the many years of experience in the field, Creativity has become a landmark in terms of cutting edge contemporary jewellery. With this in mind, the choice was made to give continuity to the international contest of contemporary jewellery: “Creativity Contest – the Posing Jewel”, thereby creating its second edition.

For the past 15 years Creativity Oggetti has been aiming its spotlights on artists and designers whose research is focussed on creating handmade masterpieces and defining a personal artistic language. Creativity and Research in the Applied Arts are the main features of its propositions, and in these years the close collaboration with artists and designers exhibiting in the gallery has given birth to themed exhibitions resulting in the creation of both single pieces and whole collections.
