"Identity and Responsibillity of Applied Art"
On the way to developing a theory of jewellery ‘SchmuckDenken’ is an attempt to reflect on what jewellery is. It concerns an interdisciplinary approach which extends beyond the respective categories of art or craft, applied or free: the exploration of what jewellery means – not what it looks like.
In 2005 some initial intellectual approaches were developed in an interdisciplinary discourse between ethnologists, philosophers, cultural researchers and natural scientists. In 2006 the discussion concerned the works and activities of conceptual jewellery artists, in order to address the complex relationship between beauty and uniformity in 2007. After the debate on the meaning of ornamentation for jewellery in 2008, ‘SchmuckDenken’ 2009 focused on jewellery as an object. Finally, 2010 reflected on aspects of globalisation with an eye to the European conception of art in the context of oriental-islamic tradition.
The 7th ‘SchmuckDenken’ will strike a balance between the symposia to date and identify the initial contours of a theory of jewellery. At the same time, possible parameters for strategies for action for an autonomous creative practice of applied art in the conflicting demands of craft, design and fine art will be developed. As a result, the focus this year will be on the artistic identity of jewellery creators and their social role and responsibility.
‘ThinkingJewellery’ is a project of the city of Idar- Oberstein and the University of Applied Sciences Trier, Department of Gemstone and Jewellery Design in Idar-Oberstein in cooperation with: Gesellschaft für Goldschmiedekunst e.V. Hanau Forum für Schmuck und Design e.V. Bonn ARNOLDSCHE Verlagsanstalt Stuttgart
Curator: Wilhelm Lindemann, City of Idar-Oberstein in cooperation with Ute Eitzenhöfer and Theo Smeets, Trier University of Applied Sciences Patron: Doris Ahnen, minister of education, science, youth and culture, Rheinland-Pfalz.
