Engaging with Jewellery is to engage in a constant process in which the unknown, ambiguous and enigmatic are allowed. Future Making operates between yesterday, today and tomorrow, crafting in the moment after »now«. What does this mean for our work and our acountability?

Insights to current work in the MA Design & Future Making and BA Jewellery programs.

kapsjuːl MA Design & Future Making
Bo Zhang. MADFM, Scavenger
Embracing the scavenger as an essential actor in the circular system of life and sustainability leads to a new approach to material and jewellery.
Xiaomeng Zhang, MADFM, Animinanimate
Exploring inherent characteristics of ceramic materials and processes to discover and illuminate how and when objects have souls.
Sabrina Buendgens, Exthinktion
Playfully and unexpectedly raising our awareness of the impact of lost biodiversity, it‘s relation to our food systems and ultimately on us.
Chun Tong, Co-Evolution 4.0
If human hair, nails, and sweat participate as materials in the construction of our environment, do our bodies extend outward?

kapsjuːl BA Jewellery
Lifu Zhou, Generative Handcraft
A dialog between the virtual and the physical world through the interplay of craftsmanship with parametric design, tapioca-based bio-plastic and 3d printing.
David Saavedra, Meta Morphosis
Organic and inorganic substances transform into fantastical creatures. Some search the heat of humans, further developing their appendages to attach to their new hosts.

kapsjuːl Precarious Equillibrium
The moment when equilibrium tips. Or the fleeting instance when the precarious comes into balance. The state of being that accompanies us more and more in life. We explore the creative potential of glass – a material that lives from precarious equilibria in itself, in it‘s working process and in combination with other materials. Various students.

Aperitif – every day at 17:00
The exhibition wil be accompanied by playful interactive aperitives. A project by first year jewellery students
