What is Kickstarter 1. Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative projects. We’re a home for everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of projects, big and small, that are brought to life through the direct support of people like you. 2. The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have complete control over and responsibility for their projects. 3. Project creators set a funding goal and deadline. 4. Backers are supporting projects to help them come to life, not to profit financially. 5. Mozart, Beethoven, Whitman, Twain, and other artists funded works in similar ways — not just with help from large patrons, but by soliciting money from smaller patrons, often called subscribers. 6. It’s supporting their dream to create something that they want to see exist in the world. 7. We’re an independent company of 81 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Ruudt Peters Art Jewellery Historia del vestuario: Inaugurar Nada más bello que el vestuario de las películas del canal TCM, donde aparece una joven Sophia Loren en el antiguo Egipto o una perfecta Tippi Hedren dirigida por Hitchcock. Vestuario complejo, lleno de detalles, que nos deja imaginando la realidad del revestimiento de otras épocas: ¿Qué contextos habrán generado que sean esas las formas y no otras?. Con esta interrogante decidimos inaugurar este recorrido – “viaje” basado en una observación retrospectiva a través de la Historia del Vestuario, para identificar así el origen y la data de muchos de los estilos – aspectos que hoy nos revisten, revisando nombres, materiales, cortes, tallas y texturas. Comencemos el trayecto: Hay tres fundamentos generales, que “hacen ser” al revestimiento humano. Estos son observados en orden cronológico: a. b. c. La necesidad como origen del primer vestario: En las zonas menos gélidas, el taparrabo fue el revestimiento común: los hombres la pasaban por entre sus piernas y la ataban a la cintura.

Walking the Gray Area Footnotes of a Stead Valeria Vallarta Siemelink So what we are really doing when we walk through the city is thinking, and thinking in such a way that our thoughts compose a journey, and this journey is no more or less than the steps we have taken, so that, in the end, we might safely say that we have been in a journey, and even if we do not leave our room, it has been journey, and we might safely say that we have been somewhere, even if we don’t know where it is. Paul Auster The work of Estela Saez has repeatedly turned to the intermingling, even reciprocity, between identity-construction and physical space (land-home-shelter) and its contingent shaping of memory and time. Former collections of the Spanish jewellery artist bearing titles such as Terra, Goodbye Nest and Recovered Connections, document her preoccupation with reconciling mobility and belonging and alternate conceptual and material references to earth and sky, tradition and modernity, permanence and ephemerality.

On Curating Unexpected Pleasures-The Art and Design of Contemporary Jewellery: Susan Cohn in conversation | Art Jewelry Forum Design Museum, London, England December 5, 2012 – March 3, 2013 National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia April 20 – August 26, 2012 Susan Cohn has a longstanding career working across the art-craft-design divide. Ben Lignel: What did you learn during this experience? Susan Cohn: The first “lesson” I learned from the project is that really not many people in the world know about contemporary jewelry. The second and probably most important thing I got out of this project is an overview of the field. How did you select the work for the show? Susan Cohn: I really wanted a democratic form of application process. I received a total of 553 submissions, featuring roughly 2500 pieces, and did a first selection of the work based on the following criteria. During this first phase, I would put potential themes next to each submission. Obviously, during this second stage, I was accountable both to the field at large and to the exhibition and how it made sense as a show. London was different.
