— A Physical to Virtual Shift in Jewellery Exhibition Making
I’ve long had an eye on the new and unusual things jewellers begin to fold into their practices, whether that be different methods, materials, or modalities of creating. The “digital” is no exception, especially considering that there is no one way to define what that word means to form givers. It is a relative term that can imply many things, including future-looking making processes where the output is still very much based around the physical outcome. But the term can also define itself as a sort of destination. The conversation gets even more interesting when combining the latter with the idea of the humble jeweller as exhibition maker. Over the past year, the curatorial projects that are usually built for store-fronts, galleries, dancehalls or other makeshift spaces and line the city streets of New York or Munich, have all but disappeared. To my delight, there are a handful of groups who dared to reach the new frontier for artist-run shows: virtual space and the internet.
