Performance Lecture Wed 2 September, 6-7pm
Limited space, bookings essential mail@annaschwartzgallery.com

Jewellery talks for people: it has a unique capacity to attract, deflect, evoke, provoke, guard, reveal, seduce, in other words to perform for people. When gifted, jewellery acts between people, it builds connections and forges alliances.

UNcommon Moments explores those moments in life where jewellery is not normally gifted but could become a voice for caring about people. It will attempt to understand the changing ways in which people communicate, and how the language of jewellery could bring a different attention to life changing experiences. The accompanying performance lecture will expand on this exhibition concept, and hopefully draw out different ways of thinking about how jewellery contributes to our lives.
