Inner pages of the publication

Contemporary gold- and silversmithing covers a vast spectrum. Increasingly, a bold, (self-)critical and innovative scene is thrusting its way to the fore. The publication Gone Astray guides us beyond familiar paths and rational craftsmanship into this uncharted territory.

Through material experiments and performative stagings, purpose, function and the normative understanding of beauty are being placed on a new footing.
Works by twenty-nine artists are presented in extensive series of images. Essays by the curator Ellen Maurer Zilioli and by the director of Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim, Cornelie Holzach, introduce current developments and locate them within philosophical or sociological trends. Statements by selected artists provide insights into their inner thoughts and the evolution of their objects.
