Diese Haptik versuche ich meinen Schmuckst\u00fccken zu geben.<br \/>\nSodass derjenige der meine Schmuckst\u00fccke mit sich tr\u00e4gt immer dar\u00fcber streichen kann.<br \/>\nEine haptische Erinnerung so zu sagen.<br \/>\nMeine Arbeiten haben immer mehrere Dimensionen.<br \/>\nEine Form und Oberfl\u00e4che, und ein verstecktes Innenleben.<br \/>\nUnd diese verborgenen Teile sind nur zu erahnen.

Art simply must be acquired!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"font-family: Apercu, monospace;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">And the Slavik Gallery has been successful in this respect too for the past 25 years: even in economically challenging times it demonstrates its presence and perseverance in the exciting and not-always easy domain of contemporary jewellery art.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"font-family: Apercu, monospace;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There would be no anniversary and definitely no anniversary celebrations if Renate Slavik and her team had not constantly mustered the enthusiasm, joy and expert knowledge to convey information about jewellery art, uncovered artistic innovations and promoted or sometimes provoked the ever growing number of artists working for the gallery.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"font-family: Apercu, monospace;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Even the architectural aspect of the Slavik Gallery is something special. The rooms were designed by the Hoke brothers, architect Edmund and sculptor Thomas, in 1990. The objective was to create a setting in aesthetic harmony with the selected objets d\u2019art, combined with a high degree of functionality and timelessness, which one can, even a quarter of a century later, still recognize as being more than a success.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"font-family: Apercu, monospace;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Furthermore, the Slavik Gallery is a frequently visited place where architects derive inspiration and can learn: it is illustrated in various booklets on architecture and guides of Vienna. Thus we are dealing at once with an accessible objet d\u2019art, a discernible museum of art jewellery and a gallery with unique pieces of jewellery on display.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"font-family: Apercu, monospace;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">And, of course, the Slavik Gallery would be unthinkable without its artists, representing the DNA, the creative foundation of this gallery.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"font-family: Apercu, monospace;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The Slavik Gallery and its artists, and vice versa &#8212; the artists and their gallery &#8212; are complementary, interdependent and for 25 years have made the Slavik Gallery what it is today: a wonderful, inspiring, distinctive place, which will continue, as we all very much hope and wish, to be able to focus on artistic developments in the next 25 years!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><em><span style=\"font-family: Apercu, monospace;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">-Dr. Heike Welz, extract from the interviews of the artists on March 12<sup>th<\/sup>, 2016<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1474&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1475&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1463083310691{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Schmuckgespr\u00e4ch am 9.April 2016 mit Gerti Machacek und Letizia Plankensteiner<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Gerti Machacek<\/strong> sieht ihre plastischen Schmuckst\u00fccke als Erinnerungs- und Identifikationsobjekte. <strong>Letizia Plankensteiner <\/strong>bevorzugt das Material Gold, das sie in fantastischer Formenvielfalt zu spannenden Ringkompositionen verarbeitet.<\/p>\n<p>Beiden K\u00fcnstlerinnen ist der skulpturale Umgang mit den bevorzugten Werkstoffen Gold und Silber gemeinsam.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1476&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1477&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;10202&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] PETRA ZIMMERMANN the fascination of the hybrid artist talk on Saturday, 23 Nov 2019 at 3 p.m. moderation: Claudia Lehner-Jobst Petra Zimmermann collects bags and purses from the 19th century made of chain fabric.
