Lavian says: "This exhibition delves into the complex and deeply personal relationship between individuals and their bodies, emphasizing the fundamental right to autonomy and self-determination about the choices they make regarding it.

This principle recognizes that each person has the right to make decisions about their body without external interference or judgment. It encompasses a wide range of personal choices, including but not limited to reproductive health, medical procedures, physical appearance, and lifestyle choices."

Da sempre appassionata di gioielli, il mio primo percorso è stato imparare a costruirli, in bottega, a crearli "ad Personam" sempre rispettando i canoni classici; la natura mia fonte di ispirazione, le emozioni che portano a rappresentare un oggetto da custodire ogni giorno addosso,come simbolo di appartennza ma anche come oggetto apotropaico.

Dal 15 Aprile al 27 Maggio 2023 è in programma presso la Galerie LA Joaillerie par Mazlo a Parigi in Francia la mostra di gioielli contemporanei #Tarot a cura di Céline Robin.

#Tarot /Tarocchi: questo il titolo sfida scelto dalla galleria LA joaillerie par Mazlo per la sua prossima mostra collettiva in due sessioni, la cui prima parte si aprirà appunto il 15 aprile, 2023.

Un modo per racchiudere in una formula lapidaria questo consistente fenomeno di appropriazione di questa fonte secolare di immagini e simboli da parte degli artisti e più in generale della cultura popolare, nondimeno oggi attraverso i social network.
In passato, Dali, Niki de Saint Phalle, Brauner, Breton, Ernst, Masson hanno già attinto alla fonte dei Tarocchi per far parlare questo “io”, evocato da Italo Calvino nel suo Castello dei destini incrociati allorchè scrive: "... Ci è sembrato che con questa carta volesse dire ‘io’ e che si stesse preparando a raccontarci la sua storia." Ancora oggi, molti pittori, artisti visivi, designer e architetti seguono questo prestigioso retaggio.

Combinando gioielleria contemporanea e progetto, #Tarot è una mostra interdisciplinare articolata attorno ai Tarocchi appositamente disegnati dall’autore orafo Robert Mazlo, per portare alla luce la geometria nascosta di queste immagini.
La presentazione di questo lavoro grafico, che avrà luogo a settembre, è preceduto dalla presentazione della sua serie di gioielli basata sui 22 arcani maggiori: "Usati tradizionalmente come strumento di predizione del futuro, i Tarocchi hanno avuto origine in Oriente, da dove furono importati dai Crociati durante il Medioevo. Sono stati gli artisti del Rinascimento italiano che per primi ne hanno fissato l'immaginario per come lo conosciamo oggi. Da allora, queste figure enigmatiche hanno colonizzato la nostra immaginazione. Il formato nomade della carta, un medium popolare per eccellenza, ha largamente contribuito alla loro diffusione iconografica che continua a pervadere la produzione artistica contemporanea. “È questo il Grand Imagier che ho voluto omaggiare in questo corpo di 22 "sculture da indossare", liberamente ispirate agli arcani maggiori dei Tarocchi” [R.Mazlo].

Per l'occasione l’artista orafo ha coinvolto oltre 40 artisti internazionali di gioielli contemporanei, invitandoli a interpretare una carta assegnata a sorte. La individuazione degli artisti è stata fatta in accordo con i valori sostenuti dalla galleria LA joaillerie par Mazlo e il Robert Mazlo Endowment Fund for Art and Contemporary Jewellery: ogni partecipante deve essere sia lo spirito che la mano dietro a un’opera unica non riproducibile. Questa selezione eclettica intende onorare i talenti emergenti, gli artisti affermati e i maestri indiscussi, siano essi rappresentativi del genere narrativo o dell’approccio minimalista.

Brasile

Ana Calbucci production is always linked to who she was - a woman, from South America, with European ancestors, who lives in one of the largest cities of the world, in a country with enormous social and racial inequalities. This is the country of the largest equatorial rainforest in Earth. Forest that is being devastated under our eyes.
So as a Brazilian poet says, she is a true “walking metamorphosis” in this cauldron of complexities that she lives. Sometimes her work is very intimate and very personal, and sometimes it overflows in a social and ecological questioning inherent to this universe that she belongs to.

S.Korea

Artist Ji Young Kim has been steadily exploring the form of kinetic elements through the "Back of the Moon" exhibition name over the past few years. Answering the question of her formative start, she said she paid attention to the use of Korean words as 'full' or 'filling' to instead of ‘wear’ when it describing the act of putting on jewelry.

"I thought this was an important revelation of inner consciousness. Jewelry not only fills what can be seen, but it may also be something important that fills up the void in the heart. I completed the form of the jewelry with a side that is not visible and little pieces that move. By revealing the hidden makes another kind of fulfillment. "

The departure of these narratives is in the form of unpredictable front and back in 2018, indistinguishable front and back in 2019, interior and exterior hidden movements in 2020, the emptiness in 2021, and it is published as a "cup" that fills and expands the story as the 'space' between the lines of extinction and creation in 2022.

-Invisible Device-
When do invisible devices become meaningful? An object that looks like a simple sculpture shows its identity with a human's touch and prepares to meet the body.

 In occasione di Schmuck 2023 a Monaco (D) e nell'ambito della Munich Jewellery Week si terrà la mostra "Converging Nodes: The Invisible Object" presso la Werkschau-Galerie für Objekte Bilder a Monaco da 9 al 12 marzo.

Gli artisti che fanno parte della mostra sono la nostra socia AGC Letizia Maggio, Raquel Bessudo e Renee Harari Masri.

 "L’affnità elettiva e intellettiva tra Letizia Maggio e Raquel Bessudo ormai è conosciuta." dice Ilaria Ruggiero nel suo raccontare e cercare di spiegare la mostra che porterà alla luce le opere di Letizia Maggio, Raquel Bessudo e le fotografie di un'artista messicana Renee Harari Masri.

My passion for jewelry making begun unexpectedly. It was like all of a sudden, after a life long full of educated words, I finally learned to talk. No boundaries, no misconceptions, just the purity of the concept, articulated meticulously in each object.
Jewellery is like a language to me, a means to very personally articulate a meaning, to unveil a deeper truth and to walk around wearing it, in plain sight. It is like wearing your inside out as truthfully as it gets. My inspiration comes from the hidden inner form of things, hence I try to see that shape that yearns to come forth, that shape that unravels best the narrative of the piece.
I find the ability of these objects to embody warmth, feelings, desires and to adorn so personally the one wearer that chooses them, deeply mesmerizing. It is the symbiotic merge between the jewel and its owner that fascinates me. The individuality of this symbiosis. Its uniqueness.

The contemporary field of jewelry, which is based on the classic field, accords the artisan's extensive freedom with regard to the techniques and materials he uses. In addition to the historical baggage that the jewel carries, the contemporary jewel is designed, among others, to defy and raise questions about the accepted status and beauty markers as well as a way to express a message, an idea, even a protest, thereby expanding a craft into an art form.

For me, the field of contemporary jewelry allows me to touch on issues that concern me in the course of my life, things, and issues that I am interested in responding to. I create with materials that are around me, which are available to me and violate my thoughts; that being said, slowly, in recent years, my heart and hands have fallen in love with Copper and its ability to receive and respond. I work mainly with techniques that combine hammers. In addition, I have specialized in various techniques for creating patinas on metal for the past eight years.
