WEARING CHANGE Villa Bengel - 4th July to October 6th |
|
|
Once again, Not Only Decoration, the not-for-profit artist collective, is putting together a show, this time for an exhibition at our town of origin, Idar-Oberstein at the Villa Bengel from July 4 to October 6. |
|
|
Wearing Change is the 4th installment from Not Only Decoration, showing works that take a fresh view on contemporary jewellery and for this event, NOD is not disappointing. The critical topics covered by this exhibition express varied issues within the fields of social, humanitarian, environmental matters and even those that have a critical view on the jewellery industry itself. |
