kannie Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Oh dear - where do I start with this?!! I'm currently at university retraining as a jeweller - my second career. And I'm going to a conference in July. I've just received a notification of a project linked with the conference - its a visual art project about jewellery, identity and belonging. They're asking participants to seach for jewellery in a tribal context, and make 7 digital images of 7 pieces of jewellery worn by a group of people (e.g. hairdresser, bikers, housewives, policemen, rich "Ooops, word censored!"es, disco dancers etc). (Their examples not mine) Well it occured to me that we are a 'tribe': a tribe of eglu owners! And we'll be wearing badges, some with our avatars! And these are very much about using a piece of jewellery to signify identity and belonging! It's just what they're looking for: 'record the unusual and idiosyncratic - reaffirm the individual and different'! So would those of you who're going to Burghley on Sunday be up to having your photo taken with your badge on?! If I get 7 images I can submit them and they may be displayed with other similar groups of images in London in July, or possibly used in a book later on... (sorry its long!)

Sheilaz Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 ....what they're looking for: 'record the unusual and idiosyncratic - reaffirm the individual and different'! Oh, yes, that about sums it up! So would those of you who're going to Burghley on Sunday be up to having your photo taken with your badge on?! I don't mind, but it'll only be a pen & paper badge.

kannie Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Just occurred to me that we might want to wear our avatar badges at the get-together this weekend, when I remembered that it's about time I updated this thread! I submitted the tribe photos and they were included in the exhibition, and seen by a small number of international jewellers. I've put a photo of our bit of the exhibition in the photo gallery: 'the omlet tribe'. Unfortunately they didn't put any words up, so my explanatory note wasn't seen, and I don't know what sense people made of our tribe! Anyway, its good to have an exhibition to put on my CV - so thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
