The jewel is an artistic expression, an extension of the body which transforms it into a medium of language. He is a universal form of ornamentation and can be made from shells, stones and bones, as well as metals precious and other items of “value”. Used as a symbol of power, status and identity, or simply social relationship, from antiquity to the present day, it demonstrates the social, political and aesthetic dimension of civilizations. The creation of objects reflects the stories and plurality of traditions, identities, individual and collective cultural references. Governed by these codes creations also deal with social, aesthetic, ethical and bodily issues.
The individual builds his identity, defines himself and affirms his belonging but also his difference in the eyes of others. others. Jewelery is one of the oldest ways to communicate about oneself and to use the resources that nature offer to create heritages, invent forms and develop ideas. The jewel is an object of memory which connects the body to its environment in a determined time and space. It engages the wearer as well as the one who looks at it. Through this exhibition we want to question ourselves on the way in which we have borrowed elements from our entourage to produce tools, symbols and constituents to give meaning to our communicating being. We approach the jewel as an object which questions, which denounces, which testifies, which manifests. Freed from the expected values of preciousness, the jewels on display are a medium of expression, the physical trace of a reflection.
The IDENTITÉ.S exhibition wants to highlight the ability of each artist to express themselves on the subject either as an individual with a personal reflection or as an observer with a broader approach to the human. That's the point between the E and the S which aspires to express these two possible approaches. The subtitle, the manifest jewel, insists on the type of jewel which will be presented, that beyond the decorative or commercial it exists as a communicating object, a support for personal expression.
