Ferenczy Museum Centre, ArtMill, Szentendre.
Date: 31 August – 1 September 2024.
We aim to create an international cultural and scientific event in Szentendre, the city of arts in Hungary, where eminent speakers will share their knowledge, experiences and research results presenting the latest trends in the conference programme, while the exhibition series will present fresh, modern contemporary approaches to jewellery design.
It is important to create new values and synergies in this project, building a deeper connection between personal ways and modern art, while exploiting the potential of technology and the use of new materials in the creative process.
The event is divided into three parts: the presentation of artworks through cross-border processes, the scientific conference, and the artistic-scientific workshop. These elements complement each other, creating synergy by linking artworks, science, and art.
It’s important for us that this project fosters new values and synergies, allowing us to forge deeper connections between our own design concepts and the current trends in contemporary jewelry design.
The event aims to deepen awareness of the intertwining of individual ways, traditions and contemporary art and to showcase the personal creative processes that create new meaning and beauty in this dialogue that spans centuries.
International Synergies in contemporary narrative jewellery
Roundtable discussion
A summary of the conference will be published, and available online.
An electronic synopsis of the collections of the Exhibition will be produced.
This programme is only for the artists selected for the exhibition.
On the second day, we are organising a session work with the participation of expert members of the jury.
In this process, in addition to artistic expressions, we equally utilize the results of modern sciences, their tools, and the methods of group dynamics.
The aim is to provide an opportunity for exhibiting and aspiring artists to collaborate with expert jury members and other artists in a creative design process. During the workshop, participants had the opportunity to develop new concepts collectively, which they could then further develop individually in the future. The resulting artworks will be continuously published on our media platforms.
This initiative is part of an exciting team/community development experiment, in which diversity and various international experiences and practices can come together, leading to deep planning processes.
For this process, we will use both the results of modern science, and its tools for group dynamics, in addition to artistic formulations.
All of this creates opportunities to build a deeper connection with our cultural heritage and identity while opening new avenues for artistic creativity, also taking advantage of the synergies of international collaboration.
