\u201eThe intention of the exhibition is to document all significant achievements in the field of contemporary amber: art, craft and design, with a particular emphasis on quality. This is evidenced not only by the careful selection of exhibits, but also by the unique nature of the carefully designed exhibition\u201d - this is how the exhibition was announced by its curator, Prof. S\u0142awomir Fija\u0142kowski of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gda\u0144sk. And this is what we find it to be: the 400 square metre exhibition features over 300 exhibits on loan from museum and private collections, which comprehensively \u201etell\u201d the story of amber: from the time of its creation to the present, from natural lumps of amber and inclusions immortalised in it, through exclusive craftsmanship and innovative design, to contemporary art and successful marriages of amber and fashion. These slogans include jewellery that showcases natural amber as well as intricate sculptures and high-end jewellery and works that have been awarded in prestigious competitions, as well as unique pieces exposing unusual materials and techniques.<\/p>\n
Their creators are the best Polish artists, designers and craftsmen - those who specialise in working with amber, but also those who use it occasionally (and to good effect). Several dozen artists, including Pawe\u0142 Kaczy\u0144ski, have been invited to present their works at the exhibition, Marek Mikicki<\/a>, Wojciech Kalandyk (Art7)<\/a>, S&A, Jacek Ostrowski<\/a>, Przemyslaw Kus<\/a>, Aleksander Gliwinski<\/a>, Dariusz Zara\u0144ski<\/a> and many others who, in a unique, individual way, contribute to building the Polish amber brand around the world, as well as the brand of the city of Gdansk - the World Capital of Amber.<\/p>\n The idea of the exhibition \u201eBaltic Amber. Tradition and Innovation\u201d was not coincidentally born in Gdansk, as it is here that the greatest number of amber initiatives have \u201ealways\u201d been born and continue to be born. Several of them - those undertaken over the last few years - accompany this exhibition. These include. Trend Book 2017+<\/a> (since 2010), 2nd Gdansk Baltic Amber Biennale<\/a>, the international amber workshop (2010-2016), the Amber Look Fashion and Amber Gala (since 1992) and the projects of the Association of Goldsmiths (\u201eOur Amber\u201d<\/a>).<\/p>\n The exhibition, which opened on 10 July, is already regarded as the most interesting, comprehensive and best arranged temporary presentation devoted to Baltic amber.<\/p>\n The exhibition \u201eBaltic Amber. Tradition and Innovation\u201d With contemporary Polish amber jewellery it is a bit like with Father Christmas: many people talk about it, but few have seen it. Now everyone can see it and believe it: at the European Solidarity Centre in Gdansk, the exhibition \u201eBaltic Amber. Tradition and Innovation\u201d, presenting various aspects of amber - with a special focus on contemporary art. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":17385,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"slim_seo":{"title":"Wszystko, co chcieliby\u015bcie wiedzie\u0107 o bursztynie\u2026 jest w ECS! - Amber Portal","description":"Contemporary Polish amber jewellery is a bit like Father Christmas: many people talk about it, but few have seen it.
