A TALE OF MULTIPLE WORLDS. SYNTHESIS POSSIBILITIES ON COLOURS AND PRECIOUSNESS - 13 Nov 2024 - 23 Dec 2024

A Tale of Multiple Worlds. Synthesis Possibilities on Colours and Preciousness.
Thirty-five pieces, seven shades, and five jewellery authors Sara Barbanti, Gigi Mariani, Itto Mishima, Fumiki Taguchi, Yoko Takirai and Pietro Pellitteri, challenging themselves with the theme of colour and its creative potential: this is the new edition of the exhibition A Tale of Multiple Worlds. Synthesis and Possibilities on Colours and Preciousness going to be hosted and displayed at Hannah Gallery Barcelona.

For this exhibition project, the artists were kindly asked to create seven new pieces based on shades primarily studied by the Greek philosopher Aristotle and then scientifically explained by Isaac Newton.

The colours display the stories, the curiosity, and the memory, and “A Tale of Multiple Worlds” aims to emphasize the synthesis and the possibilities provided by colours in a group of artist jewellers who did not use pigments/colours in their artistic practice or who used their potential marginally.

Colours (and specifically the seven Aristotelian following shades: WHITE – RED - BLACK – BLUE- YELLOW- GREEN- VIOLET) have been part of humankind since the beginning.

Colours (and specifically the seven Aristotelian following shades: WHITE – RED - BLACK – BLUE- YELLOW- GREEN- VIOLET) have been part of humankind since the beginning.
As jewellery, they convey any sort of message; as jewellery, colours are related to the body, power, religion, art, love, life, and death.
As jewellery, colours are connected to social history, anthropology, science, religion, politics, art.
As jewellery, they are connected to the significance we give to artifacts.
As jewellery, colours are both metaphors and messages.
Art, jewels, and colours are full of stories and leitmotiv: they are stories, memories, and journeys
 
As a result, The Blue Room becomes both the hub and the catalyst for a new dialogue among the artists (colours have different meanings in different cultures) where the personal artist practice is solicited and challenged. On the other hand, Hannah Gallery Barcelona becomes a resonating chamber sharing the dialogues, the counterpoints, the synthesis, and the possibilities as concentric circles in radiant lines.

The Blue Room MANIFESTO
Inspired by Catherine de Vivonne, The Blue Room project aims to open a metaphorical yet tangible room where artistic disciplines dialogue. A catalyst for new curatorial projects in the field of contemporary jewellery art. A different space aimed to build bridges among artistic practices and share different artistic languages.
The Blue Room is meant to be a hub for brilliant conversations in and for contemporary jewelry.
The Blue Room is a project founded and curated by Nichka Marobin, art historian and independent curator, and founder of the blogazette The Morning Bark.

The Waiting Room: introduction and inspiration
In one of his letters, the French poet Malherbe refers that by the year 1613 Catherine de Vivonne, Marquise de Rambouillet (1588-1665) already was receiving her close friends at the famous Chambre Bleue-The Blue Room. The Marquise, who was tired and ill at ease by the court life at the Louvre Royal Palace, decided to withdraw herself from public life by opening the most intimate of the rooms: her bedroom. Thus, to have good and honest conversations and far from the "rude" atmosphere at the Louvre, she distanced herself from mundanity. In her palace in rue Saint-Thomas-Du-Louvre, where the rooms were surrounded by a lovely light and the air perfumed as an eternal spring, she received her friends (most of them women) in her notorious Chambre Bleue/The Blue Room entirely decorated of blue brocade interwoven with silver and gold threads. In her bedroom, the precise place where she received her guests was the ruelle - a space between the bed and the wall- where she entertained her selected visitors and guests. The amusements, the brilliant conversations, and the great art of entertainment were a “must” at the Hôtel de Rambouillet: the language was curated and polite, and soon, the Blue Room was the place nobody could miss the visit (..but only if invited).
Far from the historical facts, Catherine de Vivonne De Rambouillet was the author of a revolution. Distancing herself from the Royal Palace to open her bedroom marked the beginning of the long tradition of the French salons where novelists, philosophers, and artists had conversations that gave birth to Enlightenment; by opening her bedroom, she transformed the “alcove” in a social, prestigious and virtuous place.

Trenta-cinc peces, set tonalitats i cinc autors de joieria, Sara Barbanti, Gigi Mariani, Itto Mishima, Fumiki Taguchi, Yoko Takirai i Pietro Pellitteri, s’enfronten al tema del color i el seu potencial creatiu: aquesta és la nova edició de l’exposició A Tale of Multiple Worlds. Synthesis and Possibilities on Colours and Preciousness, que es presentarà a la Hannah Gallery Barcelona.

Per a aquest projecte d’exposició, es va demanar amablement als artistes que creessin set noves peces basades en tonalitats estudiades principalment pel filòsof grec Aristòtil i després explicades científicament per Isaac Newton.

Els colors mostren les històries, la curiositat i la memòria, i A Tale of Multiple Worlds pretén emfatitzar la síntesi i les possibilitats que ofereixen els colors en un grup d’artistes joiers que no utilitzaven pigments/colors en la seva pràctica artística o que ho feien de manera marginal.

Els colors (i específicament les set tonalitats aristotèliques següents: BLANC – VERMELL - NEGRE – BLAU - GROC - VERD - VIOLETA) han format part de la humanitat des del començament. Com a joies, transmeten tot tipus de missatges; com a joies, els colors estan relacionats amb el cos, el poder, la religió, l’art, l’amor, la vida i la mort. Com a joies, els colors es connecten amb la història social, l’antropologia, la ciència, la religió, la política, l’art. Com a joies, estan vinculats al significat que donem als artefactes. Com a joies, els colors són tant metàfores com missatges. L’art, les joies i els colors estan plens d’històries i leitmotiv: són històries, records i viatges.
Com a resultat, The Blue Room esdevé tant el centre com el catalitzador d’un nou diàleg entre els artistes (els colors tenen diferents significats en diferents cultures) on la pràctica personal de l’artista és sol·licitada i desafiat. D’altra banda, la Hannah Gallery Barcelona es converteix en una cambra de ressonància compartint els diàlegs, els contrapunts, la síntesi i les possibilitats com cercles concèntrics en línies radiants.

MANIFEST The Blue Room
Inspirat per Catherine de Vivonne, el projecte The Blue Room pretén obrir una sala metafòrica però tangible on dialoguin disciplines artístiques. Un catalitzador per a nous projectes curatorials en el camp de l’art de la joieria contemporània. Un espai diferent destinat a construir ponts entre pràctiques artístiques i compartir diferents llenguatges artístics.
The Blue Room està destinat a ser un centre per a converses brillants en i per a la joieria contemporània. The Blue Room és un projecte fundat i comissariat per Nichka Marobin, historiadora de l’art i comissària independent, i fundadora del blogazette The Morning Bark.

The Waiting Room: introducció i inspiració
En una de les seves cartes, el poeta francès Malherbe esmenta que l’any 1613 Catherine de Vivonne, marquesa de Rambouillet (1588-1665) ja rebia els seus amics íntims a la famosa Chambre Bleue - The Blue Room. La marquesa, cansada i incòmoda amb la vida cortesana al Palau Reial del Louvre, va decidir apartar-se de la vida pública obrint l’espai més íntim de tots: la seva pròpia habitació. Així, per tenir converses bones i honestes lluny de l’ambient "groller" del Louvre, es va allunyar de la mundanitat. Al seu palau al carrer Saint-Thomas-Du-Louvre, on les habitacions estaven envoltades d’una llum encantadora i l’aire perfumat com una primavera eterna, rebia els seus amics (la majoria dones) a la seva notòria Chambre Bleue, decorada completament amb brocat blau teixit amb fils de plata i or. A la seva habitació, el lloc precís on rebia els seus convidats era la ruelle - un espai entre el llit i la paret - on entretenia els seus visitants seleccionats. Les diversions, les converses brillants i el gran art de l’entreteniment eren imprescindibles a l’Hôtel de Rambouillet: el llenguatge era curat i educat, i aviat, The Blue Room es va convertir en el lloc que ningú es volia perdre (..però només si estava convidat). Lluny dels fets històrics, Catherine de Vivonne de Rambouillet va ser l’autora d’una revolució. Allunyar-se del Palau Reial per obrir la seva habitació va marcar l’inici de la llarga tradició dels salons francesos, on novel·listes, filòsofs i artistes van tenir converses que van donar lloc a la Il·lustració; en obrir la seva habitació, va transformar l’"alcova" en un lloc social, prestigiós i virtuós
