Museum of Applied Arts and Design of the LNMA invites to the opening of an exhibition of contemporary Latvian jewellery, Touch- sensitive<\/i>. The exhibition tells stories of people and their adornments, and of the artists who have designed these pieces. On display are the jewellery collections by the members of the Latvian Jewellery Art Association together with the portraits of their models selected by the artists. The exhibition will be on at the museum until 30 June.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhibition bringing together the strongest jewellery artists in Latvia is the first such scale event of Latvian jewellery in Lithuania since the reestablishment of independence. In Latvia it received a very positive reception and we are happy to present it abroad,\u201d says Ginta Grube, jewellery artist and co-curator of the exhibition, also a member of the Latvian Jewellery Art Association Board.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA piece of jewellery is a tiny miracle that contains the code of the artist\u2019s biggest secret: their uniqueness, search for individuality and discoveries, memories and dreams. This is what the narratives in the Latvian jewellery exhibition <\/span>Touch-sensitive <\/span><\/i>are about,\u201d D\u017eiuljeta \u017diug\u017edien\u0117, director of the Museum of Applied Arts and Design, says.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The relationship of the jewellery pieces and their owners\u00a0\u00a0<\/h6>\n

We can touch and be touched physically or spiritually. It is this subtle exchange of energy going on between people. There is a unique history behind each of the jewellery pieces, it reflects the experience and emotions of the artist on the way from the conception of an idea to its realization. When this new piece meets its owner, the story goes on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition shows jewellery collections produced by 23 members of the Latvian Jewellery Art Association alongside with the portraits of their models selected by the artists. The ornaments were created for doctors, teachers, students, family and colleagues, finally, some of them are artists\u2019 own. By telling their compelling stories, the wearers of these jewellery pieces have voiced their thoughts and feelings, they answered the artists\u2019 questions. These sound recordings with their answers reveal interesting, often unexpected, perspective on the relationship of the jewellery and their owners, reflecting also different aspects in a person.\u00a0 The space of the exhibition is filled with voices, which before were less familiar, unknow or are by someone who did not have any voice. Part of these insights are reflected in the exhibition catalogue.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This exhibition is an opportunity to discover or rediscover the enchanting power of jewellery, its traditional, modern and state-of-the-art forms of it, the diversity of materials and jewellery crafting techniques.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition <\/span>Touch-sensitive <\/span><\/i>presented in the spring of 2024 in Riga by the Decorative Arts and Design Museum of the Latvian National Museum of Art has become a splendid example of fruitful collaboration between the artists and the museum and won the prestigious award by the Latvian public media A Kilogramme of Culture 2024. This spring the visitors to the Lithuanian museums can discover in greater detail the contemporary Latvian jewellery art.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition <\/span><\/b>Touch-sensitive<\/span><\/i><\/b> is open for visitors from 11 April through 30 June at the Museum of Applied Arts and Design of the LNMA (Arsenalo St 3-A, Vilnius)\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
