Veda, the godess of beauty has no arms
This is the work of young illustrating artist Veda. They are truly beautiful. They have such a strong femininity, beauty and calmness.
"Veda dibuja desde que tiene memoria. Con el tiempo ha decidido llevar esta pasión al terreno profesional.Autodidacta, se ha especializado en el cuerpo femenino y las formas orgánicas con reminiscencias al Modernismo, el Ukiyo-e y el cómic.Nacida en Barcelona actualmente reside en Berlín."
"Veda draws ever since she can rememeber. With time she has decided to take her passion to a profeessional level. Self taught, she has specialized in the feminin body and organic forms with reminiscence of modernism, the Ukiyo-e and comics. Born in Barcelona, she currently resides in Berlin"

Walking theGrey area
http://www.grayareasymposium.org/blog/
The Otro Diseno Foundation for Cultural Cooperation and Development, the agency Design Flux and Galeria La Refaccionaria, Mexico, are honored to present you our new joint project: Walking the Gray Area.
Walking the Gray Area is a collective exhibition curated by Valeria Siemelink and Andrea Wagner, that brings together 20 Latin American and 20 European jewellery makers and artists who ocationally work with jewellery as a medium, into a dialogue about jewellery, global mobility, contemporary identities and its personal and/or collective implications. The curators of Walking the Gray Area, have each selected 20 artists from their respective continents: Latin America and Europe. Each artist has a unique approach to jewellery: different perspectives of art and jewellery, differnt ideas, different interests, different materials and techniques, different countries. But all artists have one thing in common: like the curators themselves, they have experienced the phenomena of global mobility in one or another way: born in one place, lived, studied, worked in another one.
The artists have randomly paired: one Latin American artist has been coupled with one European artist. Each pair will start a dialogue, through a web blog that has been created for this purpose, in the ways they find interesting or relevant: they are able to exchange conversations, stories, pictures, images and even materials. The dialogue can be verbal, visual of both and will lead to the creation of one body ornament by artist.
We invite you to visit the blog, moderated by the Mexican art critic Jose Manuel Springer, which will walk you through the process of creating an exhibition from the scratch and allow you to interact with the artists and moderator.
The exhibition will be presented within the frame of the symposium Gray Area, Ist Encounter of Contemporary Jewellery between Latin America and Europe, to take place from April 12th to 16th in Mexico City. The opening date of the exhibition, at the fabulous Galeria La Refaccionaria, in Mexico City's historic Centre will be announced in the following months.
We hope that you will enjoy the experience and that you will walk along with us towards this amazing exhibition. Visit the Walking the Gray Area Blog at:

Walking the Gray Area es una exposicion colectiva, curada por Valeria Siemelink y Andrea Wagner, que pone en contacto a 20 artistas y joyeros latinoamericanos y 20 europeos para desarrollar un dialogo sobre joyeria, mobilidad global, indentidades contemporaneas y sus implicaciones tanto colectivas como personales. Cada una de las curadoras de la muestra han seleccionado 20 artistas de sus respectivos continentes: America Latina y Europa. Cada artista tiene un acercamiento muy particular con la joyeria: diferentes perspectivas, diferentes ideas, diferentes intereses, diferentes tecnicas y materiales, diferentes paises. Pero todos estos artistas tienen algo en comun: al igual que las curadoras mismas, todos han experimentado, de una u otra manera, el fenomeno creciente de la mobilidad global: nacidos en un lugar, viviendo, estudiando o trabajando en otro.
Los artistas han sido organizados en parejas creadas al azar: un artista latinoamericano ha sido emparejado con un europeo. Cada pareja iniciara un dialogo, a traves de un blog que ha sido creado con este proposito, de la manera que ellos decidan: a traves del intercambio de textos, imagenes, fotografias, videos e incluso materiales. El dialogo puede llevarse a cabo de manera verbal o visual y resultara en la creacion de un ornamento elaborado por cada uno de los 40 artistas participantes.
Estan coordialmente invitados a visitar este blog, moderado por el critico mexicano Jose Manuel Springer y acompanarnos en el proceso de creacion de una exhibicion e interactuar con los artistas y el moderador.
La exhibicion Walking the Gray Area sera presentada dentro del marco del simposio Area Gris, Ier encunetro de Joyeria Contemporanea entre America Latina y Europa, que se llavara a cabo del 12 al 16 de abril del 2010 en la Ciudad de Mexico. En los meses siguientes les informaremos la fecha exacta de la inauguracion, que tendra lugar en la Galeria La Refacciconaria, en el centro historico de la Ciudad de Mexico.
Esperamos que disfruten la experiencia y que nos acompanen durante el desarrollo the esta fascinante exhibicion. Son bienvenidos a visitar el Blog Walking the Gray Area en:

Zimmerhof jewelry Simposium
Zimmerhof Schmuck Symposium 2009.
From 11. to 14. July, 2009
Zimmerhof is a yearly Reunion of Jewelry makers from all around the world. Three days of wonderful conferences and exchange in a relaxed atmosphere.
This year´s Zimmerhof has "Full of Facets" as Theme. Here the information from the organizers (Herman Hermsen & Sofia Beilharz/ Phylicia Gilijamse/ Maryvonne Wellen):
—With the theme “Full of Facets“ we would like to address to jewellery in all its diversity and richness. The symposium will be characterized by lectures from renomated jewellery artists and well-known designers who are specialized in contemporary jewellery and/or serie-design. Futhermore the program will contain theoretical
controversies and reflections.
New materials, innovative concepts and techniques like 3D modelling, rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing are going to be brought forward though presenting divers projects on this subject. Confrontations, different points of view to jewellery and new interpretations as well as definitions of the term jewellery will be discussed. We will focus on jewellery as an important, independent communication medium at the intersection with contemporary art, fashion and product design.
The program is internationally orientated with speakers from for example; Spain, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria, thereby alumni students from academies though Europe will lecture about their works. According to tradition there will be a possibility for the visitors to present their own works on the jewellery table.
As usual the Zimmerhof Symposium is a place for international encounter, exchange of knowledge, communication, contact and not at least for partying together!

FELIZ DIA DE LOS MUERTITOS!!!
TEXT Taken from Wikipedia:
The Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos in Spanish) is a holiday celebrated mainly in Mexico and by people of Mexican heritage (and others) living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and relatives who have died. The celebration occurs on the 1st and 2nd of November, in connection with the Catholic holy days of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day which take place on those days. Traditions include building private altars honoring the deceased, using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts.
Scholars trace the origins of the modern holiday to indigenous observances dating back thousands of years, and to an Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl (known in English as "The Lady of the Dead").
Similar holidays are celebrated in many parts of the world; for example, it is a public holiday in Brazil, where many Brazilians celebrate by visiting cemeteries and churches. In Spain, there are festivals and parades, and at the end of the day, people gather at cemeteries and pray to their loved ones who have died. Similar observances occur elsewhere in Europe and in the Philippines, and similarly-themed celebrations appear in many Asian and African cultures.
