Intro
Contemporary jewellery, in France and abroad, is undergoing a spectacular evolution: in recent years, it has both staked out new territories of experimentation, and claimed a pivotal position between art, design, and traditional craft.
Contemporary jewellery, in France and abroad, is undergoing a spectacular evolution: in recent years, it has both staked out new territories of experimentation and claimed a pivotal position between art, design, and traditional craft.

The selection for this touring show focused on the work of 17 contemporary jewellers - French, or working in France - who together make a convincing case for the vitality of this rather under-exposed part of the European contemporary jewellery community.
It is the first time that such a selection of contemporary French makers is shown abroad.

The production of a bilingual catalogue is central to the project. Its purpose is to provide readers with three different entry points into the work of each exhibitor: a commissioned text and some biographical pieces of information to put it in context, a series of studio photographs showing recent work, and finally, a portrait of the makers wearing one of their pieces by award-winning photographer Elene Usdin.
The catalogue is collated from loose, folded posters: the 17 portraits make up a 5-meter long frieze of this hyper-active community, and is used as part of the exhibition scenography.
