4 November – 21 December, opening Saturday 4 Nov, 2 pm
‘Proof of Concept’ is an exhibition at DEPOT Artspace , Devenport, Auckland that marks the halfway point in the journey of HANDSHAKE 8; a two-year professional development programme for 11 contemporary jewellers.
The Handshake programme sets the stage for exploration without parameters. The work showcases a diverse group, united by material play and conceptual insight.
The pieces presented as ‘proof of concept’ are an invitation to see ideas, processes, materials and makers very much still in development, and to help shape their future form.

The two-year schedule for HS8 encourages experimentation, feedback, development, and exhibiting, providing graduate artists the chance to hone their practice whilst partaking in masterclasses and workshops with noted international guest coaches. They are then paired with a personal mentor in order to seek feedback and direction in their second year as they work towards a final group exhibition.
