kultS - Die Schmuckausstellung in der Werkatatt

Invitation to “kultS – jewellery exhibition in the workshop”

Exhibition

The "kults - jewellry exhibition in the workshop" is looking for the innovative goldsmiths and artists with the high quality of the goldsmiths works for the exhibition from October 20th to December 1st, 2012 in Berlin, Germany.

The purpose of the exhibition is to present the old goldsmith tradition and ist newest innovations of creativity and technique of goldsmiths and artists to public. The "kults" deepens the knowledge about jewel and its preparation on one hand as an artistic creation with the individual thoughts and ideas and on the other hand as an artistic creation with the historical and social backgrounds. The "kults" presents an opportunity to intercultural communication between the artists and goldsmiths. It broadens the appreciations of the art of jewellery and brings the appreciations of functions of the business culture in the goldsmith field in different cultures to public notice.

The first step to fulfil our program has been taken in the last eight years. The goldsmith master Norbert Selbiger and the academic of culture Tarja Eklund had a pleasure to invite artists of the goldsmith field, to the "kults - jewellery exhibition in the workshop" in Berlin. In five weeks about 400 visitors delighted us with their interest for the goldsmith art from Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Sweden.

"kults - jewellery exhibition in the workshop" will celebrate the opening with a long "Open Workshop - Weekend". On October 20th to 31st the exhibition will be open for the visitors from 10 am to 6 pm. The Weekend special is the open door to the workshop. Interested visitors get to know methods and techniques of the preparation of jewellery under the guidance of goldsmiths. During this time discussions about jewellery are possible between goldsmiths and visitors. We would be proud to introduce You to our guests on this weekend. The exhibition continues until December 1st on common opening hours of our shop.
