New Schmuck2 publication "HOCHsitzen" is out!
HOCHsitzen / Schmuck2
The project HOCHsitzen
is a contribution by Schmuck2 to the current debate on the role
of the exhibition-space/studio/space for jewelry artists, artists,
and designers.
This publication brings together the HOCHsitz Atelier—designed
by the radical contemporary designer Martí Guixe (ES/DE)—as
well as an interview project conducted over the internet with
Marti Guixe (ES/GER), BLESS (FR/GER), Ingrid de Coster/Verzameld
Werk (BE), Ulrike Solbrig/UNWETTER (GER), Yuka Oyama (GER/JP)
and Päivi Ernkvist (SE).

Schmuck2 _ You have already designed jewelry, jewelry displays,
and—with the HOCHsitz—a jewelry studio. We found a
quote by you: "Property turned from blessing (Segen) to curse
(Fluch) and is an obstacle to our need for mobility and flexibility."
How would you define jewelry then? Is it an ultimately useless
property?
Martí Guixé _ I did … I think in a way
everything became jewelry and that damaged the classical jewelry
based on the standard ring, necklace, and bracelet. Now a mobile
phone has the same purpose as a watch, or plastic surgery on a
breast is equal to a necklace. Therefore I would expand the definition
of jewelry to other fields; and only if jewelry designers free
themselves from the handiwork processes, and from material, then
they can expand into other fields. . . .
