Sculptural headpieces by @miastraka and garments by @jessica.winchcombe.jewellery form the core of the performance, activating alumni works through choreographed movement by six performers.
This dynamic, artist‑led intervention offers an alternative to static display and highlights the vitality of contemporary practice from Aotearoa New Zealand.

Artq.Collection interview
Interview: Antonia Boyle on Her Creative Pursuits and Ambitions in the Art Industry
You have been creating jewellery for the Company of Strangers, how has this
shaped your career as an artist? What have you learned from the experience?
I have been working with Company of Strangers for a few years now. Manufacturing their jewellery has taught me the value of my eye for detail. When producing jewellery for stores consistency is key and so the details really make a difference in the end product and the overall cohesive look of the collection that ends up in the stores. It has also taught me about communication, when working with a business producing work that has their name on it it’s important to me that they feel the work I produce accurately portrays their brand.

Carolin Denton interview for ‘KLIMT02’
Isolation and Global Sameness. About Critique. Interview with Peter Deckers
Klimt02 has started a discussion about critique and shows various perceptions. We have been choosing different interview partners from the field of art and design. Working in art and design might seem like a wonderfully idyllic and relaxed career choice, where you have the pure freedom to let your creative juices flow. Each of them represents a unique view and gives us an overview of their own experiences. This is the third interview of seven.

vivien Atkinson, performing at the Stanley Street gallery
NZ jewellery artists remind us to play with complexity while pushing the boundaries of the worn object every which way.
New Zealand jewellery artists continue to produce work that is intellectually strong, materially curious and playful. In April, Stanley Street Gallery, Sydney, once again facilitated a significant number of these artists in the 2018 Australian show of the HANDSHAKE Project – SUPER POSITIONS.

Super Positions
Super positions in NZ contemporary jewellery; a handshake to the 21st Sydney Biennale.
“The ability to put objects on our body makes us different to the next person. It is the thing that makes us human, it is the thing that has connected all civilisations since Superposition waves began when one cave woman found a thing with a hole in it, stuck her finger in it and called it a ring”. (Sharon Fitness).

HANDSHAKE 4 – POLARITY exhibition overview video
Handshake 4 – Polarity from The Wallace Arts Channel on Vimeo.
Polarity is the last exhibition of the Handshake project’s 4th iteration.
The twelve Handshake 4 artists explore the opposing and complementary powers of light and dark by employing considered lighting and display techniques.
These jewellers exhibit work that questions the essential dualities within all of us. They do that in two polarised rooms at the Corban Arts Estate.

snip….As a matter of fact, the Handshake project—a mentoring project with young mentees from New Zealand and tutors from all over the world and the brainchild of Peter Deckers—was one of the very few innovative projects that participated in Munich. It was innovative because of the collaboration between mentees and mentors via Internet, Skype, and blogs, and also because the final show involved some work that was made on the spot or was open ended…..end snip

Artq.Collection interview
Interview: Antonia Boyle on Her Creative Pursuits and Ambitions in the Art Industry
You have been creating jewellery for the Company of Strangers, how has this
shaped your career as an artist? What have you learned from the experience?
I have been working with Company of Strangers for a few years now. Manufacturing their jewellery has taught me the value of my eye for detail. When producing jewellery for stores consistency is key and so the details really make a difference in the end product and the overall cohesive look of the collection that ends up in the stores. It has also taught me about communication, when working with a business producing work that has their name on it it’s important to me that they feel the work I produce accurately portrays their brand.

Carolin Denton interview for ‘KLIMT02’
Isolation and Global Sameness. About Critique. Interview with Peter Deckers
Klimt02 has started a discussion about critique and shows various perceptions. We have been choosing different interview partners from the field of art and design. Working in art and design might seem like a wonderfully idyllic and relaxed career choice, where you have the pure freedom to let your creative juices flow. Each of them represents a unique view and gives us an overview of their own experiences. This is the third interview of seven.

vivien Atkinson, performing at the Stanley Street gallery
NZ jewellery artists remind us to play with complexity while pushing the boundaries of the worn object every which way.
New Zealand jewellery artists continue to produce work that is intellectually strong, materially curious and playful. In April, Stanley Street Gallery, Sydney, once again facilitated a significant number of these artists in the 2018 Australian show of the HANDSHAKE Project – SUPER POSITIONS.

Super Positions
Super positions in NZ contemporary jewellery; a handshake to the 21st Sydney Biennale.
“The ability to put objects on our body makes us different to the next person. It is the thing that makes us human, it is the thing that has connected all civilisations since Superposition waves began when one cave woman found a thing with a hole in it, stuck her finger in it and called it a ring”. (Sharon Fitness).

Handshake 4 – Polarity from The Wallace Arts Channel on Vimeo.
Polarity is the last exhibition of the Handshake project’s 4th iteration.
The twelve Handshake 4 artists explore the opposing and complementary powers of light and dark by employing considered lighting and display techniques.
These jewellers exhibit work that questions the essential dualities within all of us. They do that in two polarised rooms at the Corban Arts Estate.

THE GOLDEN STANDARD OF SCHMUCKASHAU
snip….As a matter of fact, the Handshake project—a mentoring project with young mentees from New Zealand and tutors from all over the world and the brainchild of Peter Deckers—was one of the very few innovative projects that participated in Munich. It was innovative because of the collaboration between mentees and mentors via Internet, Skype, and blogs, and also because the final show involved some work that was made on the spot or was open ended…..end snip

Retrospect pays respect to New Zealand contemporary jeweller, Peter Deckers
“The works in Retrospect present a magnificent survey of current contemporary jewellery practice,” says curator Jo Mears, “The exhibition pays homage to and ‘gives back’ to Peter Deckers, a mentor who has created many opportunities for new and established artists to exhibit in major public shows.”
