Presentations of Polish artistic jewellery abroad are still quite a rarity. That makes us even more happy with the positive feedback received by "International Interidea" - an exhibition of jewellery and objects by Group Six and Sławomir Fijałkowski, organised in the V&V gallery in Vienna, the place well known to connoisseurs.

RITUAL - 21st International Goldsmithery Art CompetitionWritten by Justyna Teodorczyk
We already know the list of people who have qualified to the 21st International Goldsmithery Art Competition RITUAL. The opening of the exhibition, as well as the announcement of the winners' names and the presentation of awards, which is traditionally the crowning event of the Silver Festival in Legnica which will take place over May 11th and 12th. 
One of contemporary art’s most expensive pieces – the diamond skull by Damien Hirst is no longer the gloomy metaphor of memento Mori from baroque painting. We perceive it exclusively as an aesthetic object, as eccentric glamour. 
Frequently the Dadaist turning of a cognitive context “inside out,” a twisted interpretation of function or a consciously grotesque style become a medium for critical commentary on current sociological issues or a vehicle for messages about socially important processes and phenomena. 
Only a dozen or so years ago we would have said that this historicising design trend was a “good old” style, if it were not for the fact that today this style of design is the “next big thing” throughout the world. 
The consequences of the economic recession have forced us all to become socially responsible. Instead of sponsoring multinationals and paying for their “tags,” we choose products which are the actual result of the work of local artisans and their individual creativity. 
In all areas of design – from architecture, through furniture, cars to interior accessories, there is a marked comeback of angular geometrism – though not in its impersonal modernist version, but in a form which refers to the molecular microstructures formed by nature. 
Lines and colours of industrial products, such as smartphones, MP4s and all sorts of electronic accessories without which we cannot do without that are a primary source of inspiration for lifestyle and fashion designers today. |
