Schmuck 2011 in Munich

Today was the most exiting day ever.
Finally,  we were accomplished one of a purpose of the trip, which we were given a chance to see the most biggest jewellery xhibition and fair in Europe during the international trade fair. I was overwhelmed by the different kinds of catagories to look at such as techonology, fashion, textile, objects, glass, traditional and contemporary jewellery, exhibition for jewellery and objects; Talante and Schmuck. It was very big and lot more atmospheric than any other fairs that I have experienced before. There were lot more varieties to look at in designs, artworks, also as in presentation of the works, and the great thing about is to meet people and artists from different world, has created a big space of atmosphere of communication and relationship between the audience.
The exhibition 'Talante' was really impressive performance of contemporary jewellery artworks as well as in texile, ceramics and object by young designers and artists. Most of the works were made very highly standered  but what I was little bit unsure about was that the exhibition itselfe was quit uncomfortable, because of the fact that the works were locked up by the window like museum of histtory. I may have wrong impression, and may be it has to be displayed like that but for me, compare to other works like textile, it was very easy to look at closer AND there was no restriction on by moving boday to see its work, whereas jewelleries were obstructed by the window, making difficult to observe. Why not open the window and present pieces to the audience in more clear way and also to give more freedom on its pieces to speak insead of staying inside of box? Do they afraid of their pieces to be fully exposed by the audience?
The exhibition wasn't innovative enought than I thought, but most of the pieces were innovative in design as well as in utilisation in range of techniques and materials to enhance the quality of the pieces.

After the fair, we visited The Gallium Treasure of Obsertraum. I wasn't sure whether the work was made to be look like treasure or it should be the actual treasure. Also, it was sad that we couldn't get a chance to read description about its work and treasure, because everything was in German. It was difficult to understand or could not understand the actual pieces and history of the treasure which was really shame.

I am really looking forward to see other schmuck exhibition and artists work and I hopefully get inpired by them.
