\"\"<\/a>October, Wednesday, at 5.30 pm the Museum of Applied Arts and Design of the LNMA opens the biggest contemporary jewellery event in Lithuania \u2013 the 7th International Biennial of\u202fContemporary Jewellery and Metal Art <\/span>METALLOphone: Don\u2019t Tell Me Stories!<\/span><\/i> The Biennial is accompanied by two solo exhibitions: <\/span>Oh, My<\/span><\/i> by <\/span>Egl\u0117 \u010c\u0117jauskait\u0117-Gintal\u0117 at the <\/span>Museum of Applied Arts and Design, and <\/span>Silent Reverie<\/span><\/i> by Julia Obermaier<\/span> at the gallery Vilnensis. The exhibitions at the museum are on through 28 February, 2025, <\/span>Silent Reverie <\/span><\/i>runs through 6 December, 2025.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, subtle bridges of jewellery have been crafted by the curator Dr Jurgita Ludavi\u010dien\u0117: resting on the piles of several exhibitions, they connect Lithuania with the world. The artwork of Lithuanian jewellers showcased as part of the ongoing Season of Lithuania in France tell the story of independent Lithuania and the world outlook of Lithuanians whereas in Vilnius, the opening biennial <\/span>METALLOphone,\u202finvites to experience the world and art of the artists from 30 countries. It is enthusing that the Museum of Applied Arts and Design again becomes a vibrant, brimming with resourcefulness international stage for the art of jewellery,\u201d Dr Ar\u016bnas Gel\u016bnas, director general of the LNMA says.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe biennial <\/span>METALLOphone is a very important occasion to enlighten Lithuanian audience on the art of jewellery and metal by bringing into focus its unique beauty. It is an opportunity to see the work of the leading representatives from other countries, the Lithuanian jewellery and metal artists get chance to see themselves in an international context. This edition, the second time in the history of the event, is expanded by solo exhibitions of one Lithuanian and one foreign artist. The theme of the event \u201cdon\u2019t tell me stories\u201d is a provocation to the artists and viewers alike, inviting to speak about the uniqueness of jewellery,\u201d curator of biennial Jurgita <\/span>Ludavi\u010dien\u0117 speaks about the vision of the event.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One hundred-thirty artists who tell things that matter<\/h6>\n

Quoting the curator, at the times of a surge of story-telling, pieces of jewellery art can get to the essence without words: \u201cStory-telling is often excessive, enforced, artificial, it ruins and strangle \u2013 while jewellery has so many things that exist outsides stories, and create value and experience on their own. Minerals and stones, materials that require human body and human touch, forms natural and designed catch the eye and ask for no explanation, they are perceived without words. How vast is the difference between providing a context enhancing perception and artificial narratives that entangle like strings of empty words.\u201d Pieces of jewellery transport meaning by images, objects, by different kinds of material. The artists who present their artwork, are indirectly arguing, teasing, also in hope also that the viewers will read their works as their own stories.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 7th International Biennial of\u202fContemporary Jewellery and Metal Art <\/span>METALLOphone: Don\u2019t Tell Me Stories!<\/span><\/i> encourages 130 artists from 30 countries to tell us only the things of substance \u2013 things beyond words. The provocations by the artists and the biennial will invite the audience to experience and feel their art, instead of trying to understanding it.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WOW moments in Egl\u0117 \u010c\u0117jauskait\u0117-Gintal\u0117\u2019s jewellery pieces\u00a0\u00a0<\/h6>\n

Together with <\/span>7th International Biennial of\u202fContemporary Jewellery and Metal Art METALLOphone, the Museum of Applied Arts and Design of the LNMA hosts and opens<\/span> a solo exhibit <\/span>Oh, My<\/span><\/i> by the jewellery artist Egl\u0117 \u010c\u0117jauskait\u0117-Gintal\u0117. The female artist\u2019s signature style is usually recognized by subtle Samogitian narratives \u201ctold\u201d by objects for the body, by Samogitian words, as well as ancient articles-turned-into ornaments, but <\/span>Ujei<\/span><\/i> reveals a new facet of her art.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThose who assume they know Egl\u0117\u2019s artwork will be surprised. Her most recent pieces have no narrative or poetic dimension \u2013 but the excitement of discovery and playfulness,\u201d curator Ludavi\u010dien\u0117 explains.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe artist\u2019s jewellery captures the process and life, it is about having fun with materials, and the awe of the bottomless metamorphoses of shapes. It can be best expressed by the Samogitian word \u201cujei\u201d \u2013 \u201cOh, My\u201d.\u00a0 One short word stands for numerous stories one can leave untold.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The artist has held 20 solo exhibitions in Lithuania, Finland, the UK, Ukraine, and Japan, and has participated in over 100 group exhibitions in Europe and beyond. The works of the internationally established artist are featured in the collections of the Lithuanian National Museum of Art and have been presented to the Royal Family of Spain and the Emperor of Japan on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Virtuoso craftsmanship of Julia Obermaier\u00a0<\/h6>\n

From 30 October the gallery Vilnensis hosts an exhibition <\/span>Silent Reverie<\/span><\/i> featuring the artwork of <\/span>Julia<\/span> Obermaier, German jewellery artist and winner of international jewellery competitions. Gemstones are her material of choice. According to the exhibition curator Ludavi\u010dien\u0117, her artistic manner is possibly influenced by her studies at the Department of Idar-Oberstein (University of Applied Sciences in Trier) famed by its unique in the world courses in gemstone and jewellery.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, Obermaier\u2019s objects conceptually are rather distanced from traditional ornaments even though we can see nothing radical in terms of form. Formally loyal to the tradition, Obermaier is guided by her intuition, hers is a tender touch. She does not seek to shock or surprize, but evoke something semi-forgotten. For instance, erasers \u2013 something commonplace during school years, are transformed by the artist and cause a quiet explosion in our consciousness, when we find out they are made of stone. They are jewellery objects that demonstrate the artist\u2019s virtuoso skills,\u201d Jurgita Ludavi\u010dien\u0117, curator of the exhibition, says.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
