SYM(description)

The symposium is held every two years. Ten international jewellery artists work together for two weeks at the artist studios ("Künstlerwerkstätten") of the City of Erfurt. The symposium is often set up to a theme which can be interpreted freely by the participants. The symposium provides a platform of communication and collaboration between different artist and encourages interdisciplinary broadening of the field. Aim of the two week project are finished jewellery pieces, test pieces, sketches, new concepts, process documentation, perhaps technical innovation and testing new materials. The results of the symposium are exhibited immediately following the symposium. Each symposium is documented by a catalogue.
