An interview with artist, Silke Spitzer and curator, Katherina Perlongo
I think we all took our turns daydreaming of travel, escape and joy during this past year. For some of us, the confines of our environments during the pandemic really challenged our imaginations and increased our desire for adventure. For others, this at-home, adventurous spirit was nothing new: for years, Silke Spitzer has been making the most of her immediate surroundings and harvesting the materials within her reach for her multidisciplinary jewellery and object-based works. Friend and curator Katherina Perlongo took notice, and together they created a project to celebrate just that for the in print version of MJW2021. I speak to them about their working relationship, what drew Katherina to Silke’s work, and both of their creative practices – a combination which is sure to leave you wanting more.
