Signature Style

Featuring the work of some of Melbourne’s most exciting artists and jewellery practitioners, Signature Style is a significant addition to the emerging discourse around collaboration and contemporary craft.

Opening       6pm Thursday 7 March 2013
Showing        8 March – 27 April 2013

Signature Style is a major group exhibition exploring models of collaborative practice in contemporary jewellery. Featuring the work of some of Melbourne’s most exciting artists and jewellery practitioners Signature Style will be a significant addition to the emerging discourse around collaboration and contemporary craft. Collaboration poses a very different method of working – by its very nature, collaboration eschews individual artistic identity in favour of some kind of ‘third’ position. Signature Style will examine new methodologies of working and ‘work’, thinking through the potentials of collaboration within craft and design.
