Open call for established and emerging artists and designers, to present a work of experimental jewellery, still unreleased.
Theme of the competition:
Fermento!
AGING and EVOLUTION
Affinamento ed evoluzione
For 10 years, the main focus of the competition has been inspired by the chemical phenomenon of fermentation as the metaphor underlining the evolutionary aspect of contemporary experimental jewellery, which represents a crossroads between individual research paths and international collective atmospheres. A piece of jewellery is the result of a pure fermenting process.
The
general context of the project Gioielli in Fermento, as it to say about
the term fermentation, ideally refers to a suitably “transformed”
result, an art jewellery piece, which constitutes the outcome of the
research itself, linked to phases of preparation, experimentation,
quality determination.
Apart from the chemical phenomenon, which has a precise role in the
world of wine, over the years we have tried to investigate this concept
more and more by putting it in relation with the world of contemporary
body ornaments.
At the turn of the X Edition, the theme, from fermentation, leads to Aging and Evolution with the purpose of communicating something even more accomplished and beyond the inherent state of maturation.
The winning work will express a singular creative energy, that original individuality of research studio jewellery that represents the idea of contemporary fermento (restlessness, excitement, trepidation, upheaval …) through the maturity of the path, experienced by its author.
Deadline: 23.2.2020
