Join us for a lecture series with visiting artist, jeweller and teacher, Daniela Malev.
This lecture looks on the subject of connections with the eye of a jeweller, but encourages a broader perspective onto the cosmos of connections surrounding us in daily use objects and also in a wider sense. A connection serves the purpose of making two or more separate details become a part of a bigger union. Connections can be mechanical, chemical, biological, social, philosophical or metaphysical. There are many different types of connections: fixed and mobile, material and immaterial, rational and emotional, reversible and irreversible, direct and indirect, visible and invisible.
In jewellery we work with lots of connections: "hot“ connections like soldering, welding or casting and "cold“ connections using rivets, screws and nails or we can glue or stitch things together; we connect loops into each other, make connections through slots or close necklaces by hook and eye, but there are also contextual or formal aesthetic connections in the composition of jewellery pieces. This lecture is an invitation to consciously look around and find inspiring ways of connections.
This is the final lecture of a two-part series. Open to the public!
Location: The Institute, 1871 Granville St.
