Collective exhibition
Double Yellow Line. Contemporary jewelry about borders: geographical, political, cultural

What is contemporary jewelry? Does it have to be pretty? How can a necklace campaign for saving the ecosystem of Tillamook rainforest an how can a brooch talk about Soviet childhood in Slovakia? All these (and many more) questions are answered in a new exhibition produced by curatorial collective “9 March Project”.

Katia Rabey, Masha Starikova and Alexandra Pavlovskaya, the curators of the project, do everything in their power to prove to russian viewers that conceptual jewelry is an art form no less legitimate than painting or sculpture, its main difference being the fact that jewelry artist’s work can be tried on – literally and metaphorically.

The subject of borders – between countries and cities, but also between identities – is not new for jewelry art, but each artist finds a new way to express themselves through it.

For example, Nga Ching Ko fr om China creates brooches out of three-dimensional piling-up of the words “chinese” – for her it’s a way to reflect upon her identity of a citizen of autonomous Hong-Kong. Dania Chelminsky from Israel creates prickly brooches that refer to Prickly Pear Cactus, a plant that had once migrated to Israel from Mexico, as the artist herself had. Anna Chervonnaya from Russia in one necklace combines floral embroidery and brutal construction referring to a typical kind of concrete fence – her work talks about industrial barriers that were originally conceived to separate us from the mess of constructionб ended up separating us from nature.

Each artist decides for themselves how and wh ere they will cross the double yellow line.

The exhibition is being organized with the support of the Embassy of Israel, Culture Buzz Israel and Mikhail Prokhorov Foundation.
