The starting point is the human body, which is seen as a connection between the outer and the inner world of the individual – this concept characterizes the creative approach of \u00c4dellab, the jewelry department at Konstfack Stockholm, University College of Arts, Crafts and Design.

On the basis of the existing Dept. of Metals, \u00c4dellab was founded in 2004 by Dutch jewelry artist Ruudt Peters and has since 2006 been emphatically influenced by Danish jewelry artist Karen Pontoppidan, who is head of \u00c4dellab by now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

The department\u2019s methodology cuts across both geographical borders and artistic ideas. \u00c4dellab has made a name for itself with a decidedly contemporary approach that explores the possibilities afforded by the medium of jewelry as an important and independent form of expression today. A person\u2019s own ideas, observations, fascinations and obsessions can just as much be lent form as can emotions, issues of identity or interpersonal debate.

Karen Pontoppidan comments: \u201cThe final-year projects undertaken by exam students are not a matter of fulfilling an educational task, but demonstrate the individual need for expression that spawns creation. The artistic expression and therefore the work of the graduates cannot therefore be understood only in terms of intrinsic logic or the wish to understand the existence of the state of things. The work was created because an artist, a human being with experiences, feelings, dreams and failures, wanted the pieces to be.\u201d<\/strong>

The exhibition is being held on the occasion of the Schmuck (Jewelry) show at the Internationale Handwerksmesse. Under the direction of Professor Karen Pontoppidan \u00c4dellab is presenting a selection of final-year projects from the last five years at Die Neue Sammlung \u2013 The International Design Museum Munich.
