UNIVERSITY NEWS LAST UPDATED : 31 AUGUST 2017
Birmingham City University’s School of Jewellery is pleased to present Informed Chaos, an exhibition of jewellery and objects from the graduating students of the MA Jewellery, Silversmithing, and Related Products, now known as MA Jewellery and Related Projects.
The show, held at Birmingham School of Art on Margaret St, will run from 2 – 10 of September with a private view and opening reception on the evening of 1 September. The exhibition showcases the work of 39 international students, each creating a new series for their final major work.
Course Director Professor Jivan Astfalck said of the exhibition:
Each collection represents a year-long exploration into material, form, colour, and technique, resulting in a diverse assortment of unique and unconventional works, as each student pursues their own line of investigation.
These outcomes range from kinetic, mechanical rings that move with the body, or soft felt pieces made to look like stone, to chubby, silversmithed objects drooping over ledges. Others have taken mundane materials such as feathers and paint and transformed them into intriguing wearables, one even cultivating and harvesting materials from their own personal herd of silk worms.
Informed Chaos will run from 2 -10 September. The artists will be present at the private view and opening reception on the evening of September 1, starting at 6pm.
Exhibition opening hours are 10 am to 4 pm at BirminghamSchool of Art, Margaret St, Birmingham, B3 3BX.
