AGC | ACJ touring exhibition showing work from two organisations and 50 international jewellers.
The Association for Contemporary Jewellery (ACJ) in the UK is working with its Italian equivalent l’Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo (AGC) on a two-country touring exhibition opening on 7 November 2019, running to the end of 2020. 25 makers have been selected from each organisation, and work is coming from jewellers based in Japan, Korea, Australia, USA, US Virgin Islands and several European countries, as well as Italy and the UK.
A fantastic selection of work on the theme of connections, be they physical, emotional, ephemeral, ethereal or connections as a technical jewellery term.
