The 32nd International Jewellery Competition EMPATHY - last month to submit your work
The call for entries for the 32nd International Jewellery Competition EMPATHY, organised by the Gallery of Art in Legnica as part of Legnica Jewellery Festival SILVER 2024, is open until January 20th. The tradition of the competition, dedicated to artists and jewellery designers, dates back to the late 1970s, which makes it one of the oldest initiatives promoting contemporary artistic jewellery in Europe.
Each year, nearly 200 artists from over 30 countries apply to take part in the event. Out of hundreds of submissions, an international jury selects about 30 to 50 objects to form a post-competition exhibition and awards prizes, presented during the culmination of the Festival in May. In the current edition of the competition, the jury will be composed of: prof. Sławomir Fijałkowski, who has supported Legnica SILVER Festival for twenty years, an expert in the field of jewellery and design, head of the Laboratory of Experimental Design at the Faculty of Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk; Mari Ishikawa - artist and visiting professor at Kobe Design University in Japan; Charon Kransen - New York artist, collector and gallerist; Dr Michalina Owczarek-Siwak - Director of the Jewellery Institute at the Władysław Strzemiński Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź and Doreen Timmers - art historian, owner of the Dutch Gallery DOOR.
The current edition of the Competition is held under the topic Empathy, referring to the values of artistic jewellery - not only an adornment of the body, but above all - a work of art. "Art without empathy is not art but production. A creator deprived of empathy is only an egoist or a madman. A non-empathic addressee will not become an open receiver. Every message and every reception will become a separate story, provided they exist in an empathetic universe," say the organisers in their justification of the theme.
Every year the SILVER Festival attracts to Legnica a wide range of artists and lovers of contemporary jewellery. In 2024, the event's programme will feature, among other things, several jewellery exhibitions, showcasing a total of nearly 1,000 works by artists from dozens of countries (including Japan, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Germany) and a popular-science seminar entitled 'Boundaries of Global Art'. A post-competition exhibition of qualified works entitled EMPATHY will be presented at the Art Gallery in Legnica between April & July 2024. The culmination of Legnica SILVER Festival, together with the announcement of the competition winners, will take place on May 10-11, 2024.
