2006 - and some hot SA jewellers

THE YEAR WAS 2006 An exhibition of 100 jewellery pieces made in 2006 19th – 30th June 2012 CELEBRATION DRINKS - Saturday 23rd June 4-6pm 2006. It was a common year that started on a Sunday. John Howard was PM and Pluto was no longer classified as a planet. It is often bandied about that art is a reflection of our society; intrigued, we set out to find what 2006 might have looked like in terms of contemporary jewellery. 100 jewellers from across the globe have been invited to present one piece of jewellery they made 6 years ago. Presented as a salon hang, this exhibition will showcase an incredibly diverse array of jewellery and will give an overall snapshot of what these jewellers were thinking, making and the materials they were using all those years ago in 2006.

20 YEARS: Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection of contemporary Australian jewellery

Alice says : Hello jewelies,

The Art Gallery of South Australia has opened a new exhibition in Gallery 19A 20 YEARS: Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection of contemporary Australian jewellery. For the first time the complete collection is on display and is a marvelous record of contemporary jewellery. This free exhibition runs until mid-September. Go have a look. Then go have a look again. And again...  Alice x

from AGSA website:

Rhianon Vernon-Roberts at work in her Sydney studio, 1989


The Gallery’s collection of contemporary Australian jewellery is being exhibited in its glorious entirety, for the very first time.

The Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection, established in late 1991, consists of more than one hundred items of jewellery by fifty-five innovative contemporary jewellers, making it one of the most important collections of its type in Australia. The collection promotes one-off, experimental studio jewellery developed for exhibition. From precious materials to found forms, the jewellery in the exhibition highlights the capacity of artists to push material and conceptual boundaries.

The Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection was established and is actively supported by Dr. Jane and Prof. Barrie Vernon-Roberts AO in memory of their daughter and talented jeweller, Rhianon (1964–1990).
