'COLLECTABLES AND CURIOSITIES'
A group exhibition by ACJ Northern Ireland
Kilkenny: 6th June to 29th July 2023
This exhibition showcases contemporary statement pieces of jewellery and silversmithing under the theme of “Collectable and Curious”, two words that can describe our history and obsession with adornment and objects.
The Narratives of culture, character and context along with the precision of hand making skills are embedded in the jewellery that we might consider to be “collectable”, yet the collectable must also challenge technical thought, provoke individual and subjective ideas and so too be “curious” in nature.
