„OVERLAP“

zeitgenössische Schmuckkunst in Kooperation mit AGC - Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo

Where forms, ideas, and lives meet. Jewellery as a space of connection, dialogue, and coexistence - personal, social, or cultural. Layers touch, merge, and resonate, inviting reflection on intersections, shared experiences, and the subtle poetry of coming together.
The theme for this open call invites contemporary jewellery artists to explore intersections connections, and shared experiences through contemporary jewellery that engages with the body. Jewellery can serve as a site where materials, forms, and ideas meet, coexist, and interact, creating a dialogue between wearability, concept, and narrative. “Overlap” can be interpreted on many levels: personal, social, political, or cultural. In this exhibition, the theme also reflects the collaboration between two associations, AGC – Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo and Plattform Schmuckkunst, highlighting points of convergence, mutual inspiration, and sharedconcerns. Artists are encouraged to investigate questions such as: How can jewellery tell a story on meeting points between cultures, ideas, or perspectives? How do lives, stories, or spaces intersect and resonate? Can materials, shapes, or forms suggest coexistence, tension, or harmony? We welcome conceptual and narrative approaches that push the boundaries of contemporary jewellery, inviting the viewer to consider overlapping layers of meaning, identity, and experience. Through this lens, “Overlap” becomes not only a visual or formal exploration but also a reflection on connection, collaboration, and the subtle ways in which elements, physical, social, or symbolic, intersect.
