Tools of Transformation: Redefining Craft in Contemporary Jewellery. Spotlight Artworks by Klimt02
Published: 13.09.2024
Intelligence, as considered in what appears to be its original form, is the ability to make artificial objects, especially tools for making tools, and to endlessly vary their manufacture.
In L'Évolution créatrice (1907), Henri Bergson reminds us that humans are tool-making animals, much like artists who, in their creative pursuits, reinvent and reinterpret these instruments within their practices.
In this article, Klimt02 presents a selection, almost digressive, of pieces and artists where the exploration of tools and techniques plays a central role in the artistic creation of contemporary jewellery.
