JEWEL AND MEMORY: PAST PRESENT

2015

The relationships between jewel and memory provide a double seduction: one of the jewels as an object that triggers wishes, and another of memory as a nowadays theme. Our contemporary in which the desire for the new (quickly replaceable) contrasts with the need to expand resources to keep in memory an incredible profusion of information and images. The conference proposes a reflection on that context, using the idea of the jewel as an object of memory.

PERSPECTIVES OF CONTEMPORARY JEWELRY

2014

Under the name 'Contemporary Jewellery' countless contents are articulated and projected on jewellery’s production nowadays. In this talk we seek to bring to the surface the origin and extent of these multiple concepts that are often crossed by art speeches and also the extolling the crafts. The presentation also discusses the detachment of precious materiality, the interests of the market and flows of fashion, building transverse modes to think and produce jewellery.

BUT WHAT IS DESIGN AFTER ALL?

2011

Since the university, every designer faces this question that sometimes lasts a lifetime. The history of design continues to be redefined from its origin and, if we want to quickly close the matter, we can say that there is no definitive answer. We must consider history, memory and society as constructions that are continually shaped, transformed and reabsorbed. That converge all settings and design concepts as temporary and, therefore, more interesting to think about.

A WISH COLLECTION

2009

Jewel and desire are things that, in common sense, easily produce a judgment, perhaps a prejudice. In front of moral values, these topics are classified as of minor concern in front of what is really important in life. However, here the jewel will be understood as a discursive platform, and the wishes mobilized by it - power, status, seduction, affection, expression - will be treated as elements capable of telling us a lot about the people and society that produced and used them.
