This exhibition showcases contemporary jewelry created by students from the K.O.V. Studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. The project, titled 'Inspired by Architecture,' features pieces designed as responses to famous architects and their buildings, exploring themes of material, scale, and form.
The K.O.V. Studio, part of Prague's Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, presents an exhibition project titled "Inspired by Architecture." This exhibition features contemporary jewelry created by students during the 2020/2021 academic year, a period marked by lockdown challenges that necessitated innovative approaches and unconventional materials. The project was guided by two semestral assignments: first, designing a door handle inspired by a famous architect's building, and second, creating a doll house. This exhibition delves into the intricate relationship between jewelry design and architecture, exploring how architectural forms, structures, and spatial concepts can be translated into wearable art. The texts accompanying the exhibition highlight the notion that jewelry is an 'intimate architecture for the landscape of the human body,' demanding discipline, concentration, and mastery of details. It serves as a training ground for spatial and formal orientation, mirroring architectural principles in smaller scales. The works demonstrate a critical examination of material possibilities and limitations, pushing beyond traditional skills to test ideas through different mediums.
Admission to the exhibition is free.
