SILVER LINING - FRIENDLY TAKEOVER AT SPECTA GALLERY - Friday 12 - 16 June 2024:
SILVER LINING presents selected works within jewelery art and corpus objects as well as mixtures thereof. The works represent a further development, unique transformation or paraphrase of classical design within these genres. Beyond their threads to traditional craft and design, the works offer reflective layers and new perspectives on today's society.
SILVER LINING shows works from 15 Danish and internationally recognized artists, each of whom explores and challenges the norms within the jewelery and corpus discipline. The selected works consist mainly, but not exclusively, of silver. The title SILVER LINING refers to the artists' brilliant works that point to future possibilities within their field.
“I believe that the jewelery and corpus genres have enormous artistic value and potential. With SPACIOUS COPENHAGEN, I am concerned with exploring their artistic space of possibility in a multidisciplinary landscape.” Annette Dam

2020:
Werke und Tage/Works and Days, at the Staatliche Antikensammlungen, contrasts contemporary Danish jewelry from the Danish Arts Foundation’s collection with ancient works of art from the Munich collections, linking together past and present and attesting to how the universal practice of adorning oneself has characterized humankind through every era. The Jewellery Collection of the Danish Arts Foundation carries a message on the democratization of art. Any Danish citizen may borrow a piece of jewelry from the collection if they have an active role in an official event. When they wear the jewelry, they not only adorn themselves with work by one of Denmark’s best jewelers; they convey art to everyone—in this case, even beyond Denmark’s borders. This exhibition’s dialogue between ancient jewelry and art jewelry breaks down boundaries of time and geography and helps to create new, powerful relationships. This is precisely the focal point for the Danish-German Cultural Friendship Year 2020, which anchors the show. Catalog courtesy of co-curators Florian Knauß and Mette Saabye and the Antikensammlung.
