Concurrent with Ornamenta 2024 in Pforzheim and the Northern Black Forest, the Jewellery Museum will be staging two parallel exhibitions under the motto of »all cleared out«: one put together by visitors and another onefeaturing individual artistic positions.
In the Historical Collection room, visitors and groups assembled by cooperation partners from educational and sociocultural institutions will have an opportunity to slip into the role of curators and compose an exhibition themselves – including jewellery they will have made themselves in workshops, where they can explore and experiment to allow their creativity to unfold, and discover the collection anew.
In the Modern Collection area, the internationally esteemed jewellery artist Sam Tho Duong, who lives in Pforzheim, will be showcasing his own work in dialogue with objects created by ten jewellery designer friends of his, as well as some of the museum’s modern collection.
Both themes revolve around genuine values, symbolic meaning, and feelings or longings. Pieces of jewellery may be regarded as luxury objects, but they radiate a special aura that they derive from the ideas people associate with them. In collaboration with all those involved, the Jewellery Museum will be spotlighting what they consider valuable.
