THREE RENOWNED JEWELLERY DESIGNERS SET UP NEW MASTER’S DEGREE PROGRAMME
Gijs Bakker, Ruudt Peters and Ted Noten represent 50 years of contemporary Dutch jewellery design at its very best. Together with art historian and jewellery specialist Liesbeth den Besten they joined forces. With the generous support of their colleagues in PXL-MAD School of Arts Hasselt, they have set up a new masterclass programme: MASieraad Hasselt-Amsterdam. The study programme seeks to upgrade and innovate education and restore the Netherlands’ reputation for conceptually driven jewellery design.
The two-year course will result in a master’s degree*. Education will take place in Hasselt, where MASieraad operates as part of the PXL-MAD School of Arts. PXL-MAD has state of the art work stations and ample student lodgings. Artists and designers such as Nedda El-Asmar and David Huycke teach jewellery design at PXL-MAD. Special lectures and workshops will be scheduled in Amsterdam, where the four initiators have their studios and connections are easily made with curators, collectors, museums and galleries.
Gijs Bakker, Ruudt Peters, Ted Noten and Liesbeth Den Besten are actively involved as teachers at MASieraad Hasselt-Amsterdam and bring their own expertise to the lecture hall and studio. Bakker focusses on the conceptual approach and the inherent urgency of design. Peters mentors students in their search for a personal visual language by making, discovering and reflecting. And Noten teaches them to invigorate jewellery design with the power to comment on socio-political issues and conventions. Den Besten introduces them to the interdisciplinary study of worldwide jewellery design, its history, meaning and use.
The new programme’s name is in Dutch for a reason. The term sieraad implies much more than decorative and monetary value. Sieraad’s meaning transcends this, being closer to ‘adornment’ and expressing value in a less material way. MASieraad cherishes the term sieraad as a badge of honour because of its relevance to contemporary design in the broadest possible sense.
MASieraad takes a broad view of jewellery design and is explicitly open to students with bachelor’s degrees in a variety of fields. The first year of the programme has three themes, inspired by topical issues and initiated by Gijs Bakker, Ruudt Peters and Ted Noten.
The second year is dedicated to a Master project and thesis.
MASieraad builds on the partnership the four initiators forged in 2015 which led to the temporary master’s programme Challenging Jewellery at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam from 2018–2020. This program was facilitated by BLESS.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
MASieraad Hasselt-Amsterdam starts in September 2021 and can accommodate 12 students. For more information see: www.masieraad.com.
*MASieraad Hasselt-Amsterdam is an integrated programme of the Master in Visual Arts specialization Jewellery Design, Gold and Silversmithing of PXL-MAD School of Arts and the post-graduate programme MAStudio.
GIJS BAKKER is an all-round designer and one of the pioneers of contemporary jewellery design. He was among the first to make jewellery about individuals and the human body. His international breakthrough came in the 1960s designing aluminium jewellery.
• Bakker co-founded Dutch design collective Droog and Chi ha paura...? the foundation for conceptual jewellery design.
He has taught for over 40 years and was head of the masters course at the Design Academy Eindhoven.
RUUDT PETERS is a visual artist with a strong focus on jewellery design. His work revolves around themes of alchemy, sexuality, religion and spirituality. His range of expression is extraordinary and he often creates variations within a series of designs. • Peters’ work is part of many international museum collections including the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. He teaches at the Rietveld Academy (Amsterdam), Ädellab Konstfack (Stockholm) and at Alchimia (Florence).

as the wider context of product design. Challenging conventions and processes of habituation,
the familiar and the unusual are underlying, recurring themes in
his work. • Noten won the Herbert Hoffmann Preis in 1998 and his work has been shown at Schmuck, the world’s oldest exhibition of contemporary jewellery. He has taught masterclasses at the Design Academy Eindhoven since 2007. In 2012 Noten was elected Dutch artist of the year.

Galeria Tereza Seabra presents:
Lisa Walker
“Lisa says”
7 November 2021 to 5 December 2021
"Overcoming prejudiced barriers associated with any material or technique, Lisa Walker reflects in her work a constant concern with the meaning of contemporary jewelry, incessantly questioning what is a precious object. The diversity of the materials used in an iconoclastic and irreverent way, which at first may come across as a disparate assemblage, is in fact a thorough selection from which emerges an approach to multiple forms of art and cultures. In spite of her unmistakable aesthetics, Walker reinvents herself at each new step of her work, surprising us at every moment with innovative and pertinent proposals. Her work is represented in the most prestigious private collections and in numerous public institutions."

Topiary Circus, new collection by Brooke Marks-Swanson
Dates : November 6 to 28, 2020
Opening receptions: Friday, November 6 , 4 to 8pm + Saturday, November 7, 1 to 5pm
On reservation only.
Montreal, October 18, 2020 – From the 6th to the 28th of November 2020, Galerie Noel Guyomarc'h will present two simultaneous exhibitions. On the one hand, Paysage de l'intime, an exhibition conceived by curators and artists Marie-Eve G. Castonguay and Catherine Granche, and on the other hand, Topiary Circus by American artist Brooke Marks-Swanson.
Paysage de l'intime brings together the work of eight artists from across Canada: Bridget Catchpole (BC), Marie-Eve G. Castonguay (QC), Catherine Granche (QC), Clarissa Long (BC), K. Claire MacDonald (NS), Pamela Ritchie (NS), Catherine Sheedy (QC) and Kye-Yeon Son (NS). This exhibition explores the relationship to landscape and nature, a recurring theme in visual arts and contemporary craft practices. A source of inspiration, our surrounding environment leads us to questions of provenance, environmental impacts and power relations between humans and nature. As a medium to be transformed, the landscape and its elements become raw materials used as a means of expression.
The landscape awakens a sense of belonging, cultural identity, and sometimes even nostalgia. Its influence can be addressed through a direct or dreamlike contact. Inspired by its modification or its alternation through human intervention, landscape as a subject allows for the interpretation of evocative and meaningful forms and materials, and for social and environmental questions. Nature and its landscapes are markers in time, like beacons that situate us in society and in the world, as well as in our own individual journey.
We depend on our environment just like it depends on us, from being shaped, manipulated and conditioned by our activities, our rituals and our fantasies. Like talismans looking to immortalize fragments of places, the pieces presented in the exhibition commemorate, poetically and enigmatically, the intimate story of various landscapes and various minds.
First presented during DesignTO at Toronto's Abbozzo Gallery, in January, then at Galerie Lewis in Quebec City, the exhibition will be in its third iteration.
Brooke Marks-Swanson introduces her latest body of work, Topiary Circus. Always inspired by her immediate environment and daily life, Marks-Swanson translates her own observations or obsessions through an approach to jewellery that combines metalsmithing with textile construction. This new series is a response to the upheavals caused by the pandemic, a desire to translate anxiety and fear while seeking an escape through the ritual of creation. She draws her inspiration from topiary art, which involves patience, meticulousness, and a close interaction with nature's fluctuations, resulting in an eclectic combination of geometric shapes, not without recalling the chaos in which we are living at the moment. This series of colourful and flamboyant works cleverly combines rigour and frivolity and, by means of a visual reference to circus through shapes and colours, offers a brighter vision of the period we are going through.
Brooke Marks-Swanson lives and works in South Bend, Indiana, in the Midwestern United States. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois (MFA 2003) and Indiana University (BFA 1999). Her work has been shown in over 100 juried and invitational exhibitions and has been included in various publications over the past decade. The Muzeum Walbrzychu (Poland), the Sparta Teapot Museum of Craft and Design (North Carolina) and the Museum of Contemporary Craft (Oregon) are among the museum institutions that include Mars-Swanson's work in their collections.
