2010 Exhibition in Print - Call for Related Work
Neo-Palatial: Objects of Virtue and Vice
Guest Curator, Garth Clark
Throughout history, metalsmiths have sought commissions from the palace to create objet de virtue, extravagant works that challenge the limitation of technique, scale, and sometimes even good taste. Such objects are designed to take center stage, serving as the focal point of parlors, entrance halls, courtyards, or, later in the 19th-century, as “exposition vases” at World Fairs. They were a little brash, deliberately exaggerated, and virtuosic or at least rapturous in their use of metals, lest they disappoint their patrons and noble guests. Over time, these patrons have changed from princes and warlords, to collectors and museums. For the 2010 “Exhibition in Print,” published by Metalsmith magazine, guest curator Garth Clark is seeking examples of giant “exposition vases,” canonical candlesticks, and jewelry on steroids, in an exploration of the brilliance and decadence of this metalsmithing genre. For consideration, please send Web links or no more than three image files to garthclark@me.com. Deadline for submission, March 15, 2010.
