Museo del Gioiello Future Room

Museo Del Gioiello, Italy

December 2019 - January 2021

Curated by

Olga Noronha

 Human beings have created very contrasting and different ways for celebrating the body and therefore it is crucial to understand the jewelry piece, not only as an adornment or a fashionable accessory, but rather as a niche for political, sociological, scientifical, technological creation. The Future Room has been curated in a sense that it presents a big range of pieces that vary from highly technological items to very traditionally made items of either very mundane and worthless materials or very expensive and luxurious materials. The idea behind this curation was to create a sense of merging and yet define the boundaries and transitions between art, design, science and body modification for different disciplines that are very contrasting and that not always go along.

What will jewellery be like in the future? This room presents overviews and visions of the future through eight contrasting viewpoints that offer jewellery items from different contexts that challenge transitions between different disciplines, from art to body modifications, from design to science. A journey into the future steeped in inspiration, brilliant ideas and suggestions.
