TALENTE’14 Nominees

Judith Bloedjes • POETIC CERAMICS

Jewellery Exhibition at CODA Museum Apeldoorn 28.02—20.06.2021

Monumental, round shapes of creamy white Limoges porcelain, framed by flattened silver. Judith Bloedjes’ jewellery and objects strike the spectator with their stilled, sober visual language and colours, and high artistic quality. Each piece of jewellery reflects her love of beauty, form, detail, craft and material. From 28 February to 20 June 2021, CODA Museum presents Judith Bloedjes’ jewellery in the exhibition Poetic Ceramics. A book of the same title accompanies the exhibition.

Munich Jewellery Week 2021 at your door ✨🗞✨

As we face the uncertainties of the current situation and try to counterbalance the overflow of digital content that came as a result, Current Obsession invites artists and independent curators to build exhibitions on the pages of the Current Obsession Paper just as they would in a space in Munich.

Together with our vibrant international community, CO creates a beautiful printed publication in place of our usual in-person programming, and delivers it to the doorsteps of visitors who aren’t able to travel to Munich this year.
Expect tons of beautiful images, staged exhibition environments, rendered digital jewels, fictional stories and more!

Deadline for submissions is 1 February 2021.

“For the past 5 years I was and still am a jury member at Talente, the international competition for young talent no older than 33. It is quite remarkable to be seen as a young talent at that age, having regard to the fact that students graduating are getting younger and younger. During these years I have seen some exceptional and intriguing work, which shows that craft nowadays is more than just good handwork and skills.

It is about innovative techniques, social and sustainable context. It is about objects of desire and tradition, about products or concepts that raise questions. And above all it is about storytelling and authorship.”
