Different Tempers: Jewelry and Blacksmithing

Jul 6, 2010 - Sep 18, 2010

@ UNT Art Gallery — Art Building
Curated by Suzanne Ramljak and organized by The Center for Craft, Creativity and Design, a regional center of the University of North Carolina

Different Tempers explores the distinctions and commonalities between jewelry and blacksmithing, two realms of metalsmithing that rarely interact despite their shared medium, including 40 objects by 14 national artists. Together these objects reveal the engaging range of work arising from both the jeweler's bench and the blacksmith's forge, spanning wearable ornament to large-scale sculpture. The full spectrum of metals will be represented, including gold, platinum, fine and sterling silver, pewter, iron, and stainless and mild steel, in combination with other materials such as optical lenses, nail polish, and hair. At UNT, the exhibition will be accompanied by academic and public programs exploring the methodologies and the state of craft criticism. Look for program information soon!
