Gioielli in Fermento 2017 Master Collection. Call for artists

The world of jewellery and the world of wine, go together: a declared combination, awarded last December by the Guide of Italian wine Cellars with special recognition to the relevance of this cultural project around wine.
The project, grown over the years as a catalyst of contemporary jewellery experiences at European level and recently presented as a special exhibit at SOFA Chicago and New York, will take place with a two-years program that will alternate the presentation of Master Collection (2017) and the new edition of the contest (2018).
The 2017  exhibition is dedicated to artists selected from all the past editions. Artists who already worked for Gioielli in Fermento are invited to submit a new piece made in dialogue or in evolution with their own previous work made for the competition. 
This exhibit will be called “Gioielli in Fermento - Master Collection” (first 2 weeks in May 2017) and will be held alternating the year of the competition.
 
Next competition will be in May 2018 - it will be announced exactly 12 months earlier, during the Master Collection exhibition opening - addressed to all designers, emerging and established artists and students from academies and institutes of art and design, international faculties and schools of applied arts, jewellery and metalsmithing.
 
The Master Collection, consisting of both new pieces and a selection of the more representative Gioielli in Fermento pieces, will be curated by Eliana Negroni. A new catalogue for a critical acknowledgement of the evolution of the project will be published.
 
Although there is not a specific theme, artists are involved in a project which already hosted a particular aspect of their recent pieces of work. The aim is to display new works to be read as an evolution of each selected artist's research inspired by GIF past editions.
