Plattform schmuckkunst

LOCATED IN GRAZ / AUSTRIA

The non-profit association Plattform Schmuckkunst was founded in Graz in September 2019 with the aim of making contemporary jewellery art visible as an independent artistic discipline,
strengthening it, and anchoring it long-term within the cultural life of both the city and the region of Styria. The point of departure is the understanding of jewellery not merely as a decorative object, but as an artistic medium that engages with and transforms societal,personal, and cultural issues.

At the core of the association is the conviction that artistic jewellery is an important part of current art
and design practice, distinguished by conceptual depth, experimental materials,

and body related forms of expression.

Plattform Schmuckkunst offers space for presentation, production, reflection,
and exchange – both for artists and an audience interested in art.

Aus der Natur (From Nature)
At the origins of jewellery, before humankind had mastered the working of metals, jewellery was
made exclusively from natural materials. To this day, organic materials remain important elements
in jewellery design. Motifs inspired by natural materials are also widely used.

Transparent und Opak (Transparent and Opaque)
This theme explores a range of materials that, depending on their condition or treatment, can
appear either transparent or opaque.
The artists approach these themes through a variety of materials and techniques. The aim is to
develop and realise either an individually designed jewellery collection or a substantial jewellery
piece/object inspired by and derived from this theme.
