SETTINGS & FINDINGS EPISODE N. 2 ECHOES OF A MEAL
Intro:
Mette Saabye, Helen Clara Hemsley, Josefine Rønsholt Smith and Janne Krogh Hansen are literally setting the table in their project Echos of a Meal. Originally intended to be shown during Schmuck 2021 as part of the regularly appearing Polyphonous Events, the collaboration was presented digitally which perhaps allowed more of us a seat at the table to “leave with both (our) minds and bellies full.” Bon Appetit!

Settings & Findings:
Echoes of a Meal: A conversation about contemporary jewellery in the setting of a traditional Danish meal.
The concept of a meal and how it has the ability to echo life around us forms the common foundation for the group’s reflections, and especially focuses on how a meal can bring people together and bolster their sense of community, through close interaction and the exchanging of views and observations.
Echoes of a Meal refers to a traditional Danish table setting with its classic Danish dishes, specific aesthetic and the intensity associated with the togetherness a meal can offer. For us as jewellery makers, the creation of jewellery and the preparation of a meal both share an intense use of the senses, as both a meal and jewellery is produced, and used by the body. The remains of a meal furthermore serve as a memory of the event and are decoded by the senses and create a connection between both time and place. The individual works approach the theme with their own particular use of materials, narrative and form, but ultimately come together to present an extensive menu of considerations and expressions.
