All memberships lapse on 30 June, so you'll need to remember to renew your membership in a timely manor.  Exhibition Synopsis
This JMGQ membership exhibition is thematically focused on the concept of tools, exploring the conceptual breadth and layers of meaning that operate within this theme for contemporary jewellers, metalsmiths and small objects practitioners. Essential to any artisan's practice, tools provide an interesting and reflexive conceptual point of entry into contemporary jewellery and small objects practices. While traditional tools and their use remain an essential part of a contemporary J&SO artist's training, working within an artistic context can lead to the development of ingenious applications for processes and unexpected uses of materials. The rise of 3D printing technologies and lasercutting devices mean contemporary jewellers are now incorporating these modern mass-production tools into their work as well. Furthermore, jewellery itself can be understood as a kind of tool within the act of adornment. The way wearable artworks function to articulate ideas related to the status and identity of their wearer is fertile territory within the premise of this exhibition, particularly when the potential to relate these ideas back to the making processes is considered. With these ideas in mind, what does it mean to work in a bespoke, hand-made way in the face of the widespread uptake of modern technologies? What is the place of these new technologies within the modern jeweller's bench? With the increase in cheaply available mass-manufactured jewellery, what is the role of hand-crafted contemporary jewellery in design? And how does a jeweller’s relationship to their tools, whatever they may be, influence the works they create? Exhibition details POP Gallery, Brisbane, October 18 – 29 2017 Exhibition will be available to tour Australian venues from 2018-2019.
