Weg = Ziel
Weg=Ziel is an exhibition dialogue between Izabella Petrut, Lilian Mattuschka and Michelle Kraemer. In this exhibition, the 3 artists reflect on the commonalities of their work, the individual approaches and their process-oriented ways to the final piece. All 3 artists use jewellery as an impulse to think and create art. The working process is their guideline, both in the exhibition concept as well as in the individual artwork.

Update: the exhibition has been extended until the end of August.
For this exhibition I created a series of pieces of jewelry that explore Zhuangzi’s butterfly dream. With the use of two AR (augmented reality) tools, I assign each of these jewelry pieces the capacity to self-reflect and to have, similar to Zhuangzi, a dream about being a butterfly.
The visitors of the exhibition who want to experience the AR side of the pieces will need a mobile phone with internet connection, and the mobile app Artivive (free app for both IOS and Android).

Art Jewelry and Wearable Art by Izabella Petrut
Izabella Petrut is an artist and designer who hand-makes each ring, necklace, brooch and pair of earrings herself, in her studio in Vienna, Austria. Izabella likes to experiment with a plethora of materials like silver, gold, iron, brass, pigments, epoxy resin, pretious and natural stones, textile, paper, food, toys, ready mades, roller skates and many more. In her work, she likes to take advantage of the serendipity and the beauty of what every moment can bring into the aesthetic of a piece of wearable sculpture, therefore, each of her pieces are unique and tells a story.
Jewelry is more than diamond rings.
Art Jewelry is just one of the many identities of the jewelry discipline. When wearing a piece of wearable art, you are part of a bigger conversation. It is a conversation that discusses politics, raises issues, annoys and disturbs, or brings laughter and smiles. Thus, Art Jewelry makes you an actor on the every day scene of performance, happening, culture, sculpture, fashion and street style.
Art jewelry is a lot of things. It is a conversation starter, and a heart igniter. It is also a constant reminder of our own passions, hopes, worries and fears. It is meant to bring art out of the museums and galleries, into the street. It brings together a very special and experimental type of craft, and an artistic approach in terms of a certain level of autonomy, conceptual charge and accurate positioning in the contemporary art and social discourse.
