Findings
"Findings" places some of Manon van Kouswijk's recent works in the context of a series of tracings that she has made for this book from a large collection of photographs. They trace the typology of bead necklaces and brooch motifs, historical and contemporary examples of jewellery worn and on display and other situations in which jewellery has a presence.In a series of short texts Benjamin Lignel responds to the ideas and methodologies that underpin the works and the traced images.
Art Jewelry Forum's Best of Interviews
AJF is proud to present 'AJF Best of Interviews': the selection comprises a selection of 20 interviews that together provide insights into contemporary jewelry's backstage: teachers, makers, curators, collectors, designers and dealers discuss how they do it, why they do it, and occasionally, with whom they do it. We are particularly happy to present two unpublished interviews, conducted specially for this publication: Dorothea Prühl - showcased this year in the Klassiker der Moderne exhibition and the Handwerksmesse - answers the questions of Benedikt Fischer and Iris Eichenberg; Matthew Friday and Kerianne Quick, meanwhile, discuss their Affective craft Manifesto with Benjamin Lignel. With...

Collaboration Through Craft
Offering a challenging new argument for the collaborative power of craft, this ground-breaking volume analyses the philosophies, politics and practicalities of collaborative craft work. The book is accessibly organised into four sections covering the cooperation and compromises required by the collaborative process; the potential of recent technological advances for the field of craft; the implications of cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural collaborations for authority and ownership; and the impact of crafted collaborations on the institutions where we work, learn and teach. With cutting-edge essays by established makers and artists such as Allison Smith (US) and Brass Art (UK), curator Lesley Millar, textile designer Trish Belford and distinguished thinker Glenn Adamson, Collaborating Through Craft will be essential reading for students, artists, makers, curators and scholars across a number of fields.
Shows and Tales
The challenge of showing contemporary jewelry - under the pressure of creative competition, institutional inertia, and claims of curatorial legitimacy by non-affiliated curators - has given rise to a bubbling exhibition landscape, with amateurs and professionals playing musical chairs to a very D.I.Y. score. Artists mount their own exhibitions. Museums invite amateurs to curate shows from their collection, and visitors to handle work. Collectors issue exhibition lists and detailed press releases. Meanwhile, the trend towards ever more experimental scenographies continues, with set-ups that never cease to negotiate with our expectations: works are shown on plinths, window sills, chairs, table...
On and Off
State secretary Madeline Albright is famous for inviting world leaders to "read her pins": these pins provided running commentaries - in turn trenchant or compassionate - on the geopolitical situation and hand, and have become textbook example of jewelry's agency in the public arena. Jewelry will meddle in human affairs. It will bear witness to transfers of authority, seal alliances, stand proud over your scholastic achievements or discreetly signals that, no, not tonight, thank you very much. And of course, human affairs will inform the conception, intended use and abuse of jewelry: contemporary makers, in particular, are defined by the range and inclusiveness of their cultural baggage.This...
Ida Applebroog
Did you know that Ida Applebroog has been monitoring your home for the last 25 years? Whilst you were at it, thinking no decent citizen would peer in through lowered curtains at your version of domestic bliss, Applebroog was freeze-framing your scenes for posterity (yours, not hers). Show and tell seems to be the driving element behind her late-blooming career; variously labeled as a social voyeurist and a commentator, she is most aptly described as a willing witness of the way things work in that mini-theater of cruelty called life. Though her work is featured in the permanent collections of major international institutions, Applebroog's work has not received the public attention it deserves, a situation which this monograph means to remedy.
