girls against gold 30:08:09 \| 18.02
Why have these girls declared their aversion to gold? Ten female graduates of the Jewellery and Object Design, Advanced Diploma course from the Design Centre Enmore have united for a second year running to exhibit on a theme, this year being girls against gold. In 2009 the artists are questioning the preciousness of traditional materials commonly used in jewellery. Stimulated by both a contemporary viewpoint on material value as well as a reaction to inflated gold prices they will be exploring materials and ideas not conventionally applied to jewellery. The ten female artists have created an exhibition of quirky, unique and handmade contemporary jewellery and objects aimed to inspire, provoke thoughts, capture the imagination, while exploring the question what makes something precious. Oficial sparkling opening of the exhibition is on Saturday 17th October from 4pm til 6pm, at blank space gallery in Surry Hills. The exhibition will be running daily from Thursday 15th until Wednesday the 28th of October. The participants are: Majella Beck .Jenny Daskalakis, Lisa Furno, Nikki Majajas, Natasha Marcus-Taylor, Jasmine Matus, A Mi Kim, Radka Passianova, Bernadette Trainor, Janis Valdivia An added bonus for gallery visitors will be ten girls in ten days. Each day that the show is running will see one the ten participants staffing the space and available to answer any questions about the works. All are welcome to attend this event, much of the work will be available to purchase and 5% of all sales will be donated to Breast Cancer Australia. www.tenmoregirls.blogspot.com This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body. blank_space 374 Crown St Surry Hills 0431676357 Open Mon Sun 11 - 6 info@blank_space.com.au girls against gold.
