Site Effects

JEWELRY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC

On both sides of the Atlantic Ocean are ‘Western’ cultures. If jewelry is considered a form of communication, do people speak the same language on either side of the Atlantic? Site Effects aims to shed a light on two questions: Have these differences been blurred in our era of globalization or do they still exist? To what extent does one only perceive a difference because knowledge of an artist’s name and location results in cultural stereotyping? The exhibition features work by Kristen Beeler, Sofia Björkman, Caroline Broadhead, Liesbet
Bussche, Thea Clark, Nikki Couppee, Emily Culver, Anja Eichler, Rebekah Frank, Maria Rosa Franzin, Don Friedlich, Sara Gackowska, Lena Grabher, Peter Hoogeboom, Holland Houdek, Anastasia Kandaraki, Anya Kivarkis, Kristiina Laurits, Nanna Melland, Seth Papac, Estela Saez, Sondra Sherman, Marjorie Simon, and Katja Toporski.

Exhibition dates: June 5 - July 10, 2020
