FOR PROGRAMME CLICK BELOW
Organised by the Françoise van den Bosch Foundation in collaboration with Atelier Ted Noten and Gert Staal.
About:
The symposium is the finnisage of the exhibition
Tedwalk. During the tea break you will have the opportunity to watch the show (again).
The symposium deals with the question how jewellery can find a broader and different public. Ted Noten is an example of an artist who is very successful with this. What kind of strategies are possible: should we place our hope in artfairs (PAN, Tefaf), or auctions (Damien Hirst showed us the way, and some designers as well, but how many artists are actually capable of matching that, and should jewellery go this way), or do we need to develop more initiatives outside the museum, gallery, fair, and how do we do that? And who is thinking about good serial jewellery, fashion jewellery, accessories, who is looking for cooperation with fashion houses, other disciplines, fine artists, designers?
