destinationbijoucagnes

Jewellery week in @museesdecagnessurmer France
Semaine du Bijou Contemporain de Cagnes-sur-mer co-founders @isabellebusnel @jriusech @sebastiencarre

During the next edition of @destinationbijoucagnes

During the next edition of @destinationbijoucagnes you will have the opportunity to follow lectures about Contemporary Jewellery by several actors of the field on the morning of June 4 & 5.

The first talk will be given by @jenniferaltmann June 4 from 10:00 to 11:00am

“WHAT IS THAT MADE OF?”

Journalist Jennifer Altmann visits contemporary jewellery artists all over the world. In her talk at Destination Bijou Cagnes-sur-Mer, she will tell the stories of eight jewellers on four continents. All of these artists use humble materials — from horsehair to pencil shavings, from cardboard packaging to coffee lids — to tell a story. Accompanied by images from her studio visits, Jennifer will discuss why these artists choose unconventional and castoff materials, and how they use them to convey meaning.

Find out the full planning of lectures and their topic on our website. All lectures will be given in the 2nd floor of the Grimaldi Castle in @museescagnessurmer

STATEMENT:
Beauty and vulnerability
The subtile shimmer of the sea invites us to enjoy the light and its movement.
But beneath the surface danger lurks, accompanied by a quiet sorrowful memory.
The sea gives and the sea takes away.
