Curated by Kevin Murray<\/strong>, Joyaviva: Live Jewellery from across the Pacific<\/em> is an exhibition of beautiful, potent objects that recover the power of jewellery in our world.<\/p>\n

Made by a new wave of jewellers from Australia, New Zealand and Chile, each of the pieces on display is ‘alive’ as a device for sharing hopes and responding to our fears – ranging from threat of earthquakes to success in a school exam. Created from diverse materials, these objects link people together – transforming private wishes into shared stories.<\/p>\n

Melissa Cameron, Jill Hermans, Caz Guiney, Maryann Talia Pau, Jin ah Jo, Blanche Tilden, Alice Whish <\/strong>(Australia)
\nJacqui Chan, Ilse-Marie Erl, Sarah Read, Gina Ropiha, Areta Wilkinson, Matthew Wilson, Katheryn Yeats<\/strong> (Aotearoa \/\u00a0<\/em>New Zealand)
\nGuillermina Atunez, Francisco Ceppi, Analya Cespedes, Carolina Hornauer, Massiel Mariel, Angela Cura Mendes, Valentina Rosenthal, WALKA STUDIO<\/strong> (Chile)<\/p>\n

UTS GALLERY <\/strong><\/a>
\nLevel 4, Peter Johnson Building, 702 Harris Street, Ultimo, NSW, Australia
\nOpen Monday – Friday 12-6pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joyaviva: Live Jewellery from across the Pacific<\/em> was shown at RMIT in Feb 2012. It will be touring to Objectspace Auckland (NZ), Santiago and Valparaiso (Chile), Jalsuri Foundation (Bolivia) and Mexico City, Mexico
\nJoyaviva <\/em>is a project associated with the Ethical Design Laboratory, a research area of RMIT Centre for Design. Supported by the Council on Australia Latin America Relations and Creative NZ<\/h5>\n

I got to see the first incarnation of the exhibition in Melbourne in February 2012 and I’m actually very interested to see how it comes together in a different venue. The Part B crew and myself<\/a> had a discussion that centred on the perceived robustness of the colouring and display devices in the RMIT gallery. Touring exhibitions are a rare beast, and have very different design parameters to one-off shows, especially if you are keen to keep an exhibition such as this – which has so much ephemera connected to the displays – in line.<\/p>\n

I was actually gifted with one of my own pendants – a Battery Backup piece – when I attended the artist talk for the exhibition back in March. I arrived promptly at 12:55 pm for a session that I soon found out had started 55 minutes earlier. Whoops! In my defense, I was just 2 days off flying to Seattle having packed all of my belongings into a large shipping container in the preceding two days. I wore the work all the way to Seattle, and took it off on my arrival. I now see the piece often, as it lives in my bedroom, but I rarely wear it. It somehow seems tainted with the chaos of that week…<\/p>\n

For more stories about what happened to the pieces we made, please check out our C3 project blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Given my current (lack of) proximity to Sydney I guess I’m going to have to wait for some images or a review to find out what the show looks like now. Might I suggest, if you’re interested, please update me in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
