Where else?

Artist list

Bettina Dittlmann, Michael Jank, Carolanne Patterson

Jewelers’ Werk Galerie presents recent work by 3 artists in an exhibition during Munich Jewellery Week. This show is the second edition of one that was exhibited in the gallery in Washington as well as other locations titled “Elsewhere”. The title “Where else?" has ramifications in world politics (as well as show locations,) and can in fact be interpreted as a statement about the spreading tyranny, kleptocracy, injustice and political instability in the world, and where else it might appear.
