SODAwise

header_eng.jpg

As part of the SODAwise discussion series, SODA continues to bring together creative souls from different disciplines and careers to share and discuss various topics.

SODA will be entertained by the presence of Margit Hart and Fritz Maierhofer – two prominent names in Contemporary Art Jewellery – on Tuesday, June 14 at 18:00. Our two main speakers from Austria will discuss and share their knowledge and experiences and present examples of their artwork in the discussion titled “Nature and Structure”.

This discussion was prepared with the valuable contributions of the two pioneers of contemporary art jewellery in Turkey, Ela Cindoruk and Nazan Pak.

We look forward to seeing you with us.

The discussion will be held with a limited number of seats. Please call 0212 231 8988 or email soda@sodaistanbul.com to make a reservation.

MARGIT HART
A graduate of State University of New York and someone who has participated in many important exhibitons and fairs, what matters most for Margit Hart is that people can wear her jewelry art. Her primary concern resides not so much in creating an item of jewelry or merely depicting forms and shapes than in exploring the relationship – and interplay – between the human body, jewelry and the environment.

FRITZ MAIERHOFER
Fritz Maierhofer’s work exists in a world that is vibrant and diverse. He is not the kind of artist who, having come across a successful idea, gladly replicates it ad infinitum. Improving and developing his work since the 1950’s, he is constantly discovering new materials, absorbing new inspiration into his work.

Fritz Maierhofer - Jewellery & More

“The first comprehensive monograph surveying the work of Fritz Maierhofer, one of Austria’s leading contemporary jewellery artists, colour illustrations as well as texts by specialists in the field provide insights into Maierhofer’s innovative work from the 1960s to the present, which is characterised by unusual material combinations and an avant-garde understanding of jewellery.”–BOOK JACKET.

Gabriela Koschatzky-Elias writes absorbingly on the life and work of Fritz Maierhofer, one of the most important contemporary Austrian jewellery artists, whose international career took off in late-1960s London. Under the sway of that throbbing city, he had arrived at a conception of jewellery and a language of forms that were distinctively his own. Maierhofer places jewellery on an equal footing with painting, sculpture and architecture. What is crucial to him is the artistic intention rather than the market value of the materials used. Maierhofer keeps coming up with new statements - using acrylic glass and precious metals in the 1970s, pewter and gold in the 1980s and, in the 1990s, aluminium, steel and computer technology while his most recent work features the new material CORIAN®. A new publication in our Art Jewellery Series, this is the first comprehensive monograph surveying Fritz Maierhofer’s work from the 1960s to the present. With superlative colour illustrations and texts by a group of distinguished specialists in the field (including Ralph Turner and Graziella Folchini Grassetto).
Text in German and English.
