Handshake in Hamilton presents a diverse range of contemporary jewellery from the Handshake 6 cohort alongside paintings by Hannah Ireland.
The exhibition name, Handshake in Hamilton, is of course first and foremost an extension of the group’s name. Simultaneously however it has assumed further significance in the context of Covid-19 as the age-old germ-ridden handshake is traded for a less deadly elbow-bump.
Handshake in Hamilton lands at an interesting time when many are craving interaction and engagement following prolonged isolation. Most people enjoy communicating with others, and although language might be the first method to come to mind, visual communication preludes language in most instances. Contemporary jewellery is then of course the perfect extension and communicator of identity.
Jewellers participating in the exhibition are: Amelia Rothwell, Aphra Cheesman, Fran Leitch, Jack Hadley, Macarena Bernal, Mia Straka, Michelle Wilkinson, Nikki Perry, Nina van Duijnhoven, Simon Swale and Susan Videler.
Hannah Ireland’s portraits will occupy the walls during Handshake in Hamilton. Through her research and practice, Ireland examines the performative aspect of social interaction including the various versions of oneself we present in different circumstances. Ireland contributes seven sitters to Handshake in Hamilton, they pose behind glass, yet feel like mirrors, inviting adornment.
Handshake in Hamilton will take place at Weasel Gallery which is located in Kirikiriroa (Hamilton) from the 8th of July through until the 1st of August. The opening will take place on the 10th of July from 4pm-6pm (all are welcome).
The exhibition will be viewable through Weasel Gallery’s website (www.weaselgallery.com), or to request a catalogue please email Laree at contact@weaselgallery.com. Weasel Gallery is open Wednesday – Friday, 11am – 4pm, and Saturday from 11am – 3pm.
