Are you a creator active in the field of Contemporary Jewelry?

Is jewelry a source of inspiration for you,

an occasion and reason for creative expression, or your passion?

Do you want to promote it as an art form?

As a means of commentary and personal statement?

As a research tool?

Do you want to educate the public by presenting your unique point of view,

and learn from this interaction?

Let's co-create the supporting environment. 

​

 

The initials JELO6 are an abbreviation of the description:

JEWELRY + OBJECTS + our 6 SENSES.

​

More on the vision and statement of JELO6, you will find on our page titled MANIFESTO.

 

The JELO6 PROJECT aims, through collective action, to highlight and promote Contemporary Jewelry, both in Greece and Abroad, enhancing awareness and the exchange of views, while at the same time hoping to consolidate a dialogue between Greek and international designers /makers or entities active in the field of Contemporary Jewelry.

​

In particular, it aims to:
– Inform and familiarize the public with issues related to Contemporary Jewelry as a form of art and as a means of creative expression.
– support the individual creators as well as the creative groups of the field.
– offer a platform that allows for the gathering, meeting and collaboration of all interested parties (artists, galleries, collectors, museums, or other institutions that promote arts and culture, etc.) through communication and networking.

- PEACEFUL ACTIVISM

​

JELO6 PROJECT is organized by UNI.VERSUS ART ROOM and Niki Stylianou, co-Founder of the Anticlastics Team and Athens Jewelry Week festival.

​

• TARGET AUDIENCE:

JELO6 PROJECT is addressed to jewelry schools, independent designers/makers, groups, and galleries from all over the world, that consider jewelry as an art form and that through their personal work and action try to expand the boundaries of and enrich the field of Contemporary Jewelry. JELO6 is open to proposals for solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, external actions, performances, workshops, talks, etc. There are no restrictions regarding the material, size, or form of the works to be presented. However, the conceptual background of the proposals submitted needs to address the subjects of: jewelry, the human body, the dimensions of space and time, as well as the senses that we have developed in order to perceive these.

​

PLEASE NOTE: Established companies or brands cannot take part in the event.

​

As the goal of the event is to present to the wider public the specificities, diversity, and artistic dimension of Contemporary Jewelry, special attention will be given to proposals that underline the multidimensional character of contemporary artistic creativity in the specific field, while focusing on its ideology and its aesthetics.

​

Artists, groups, galleries, or schools who decide to apply must be prepared to bring their work in person and join us at the opening.
