“A History of Revolutions”
A Group exhibition of 21 Contemporary Studio Jewelers
as part of the New York Jewelry Week 2023
15 – 17 November 2023
Consulate General of Greece, NYC
21 jewelry artists from Greece and the US unite in one exhibition with unique works inspired by past and present remnants of revolutions across the globe.
Embraced by the ILJM’s historic exhibition “Form Follows Function: 200+200” for the 200 anniversary of the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire (1821-1829), comprising historic applied and decorative arts dating from 1500 – 1900, a supplement of events in a satellite program with educational and creative projects, include the organization of this contemporary studio jewelry show bringing together Greek and US Studio Jewelers presenting their personal message for NYCJW 2023.
This temporary exhibition ends a cycle of events, inextricably linked to the theme of the historical exhibition, but without completing it. Emerging issues that have impacted historical and recent global cultural, aesthetic, and artistic practices have consciously inspired the artists in this exhibition. Participating creators have focused on interpreting understandings of nationhood, tradition, gender, and body to critically center the past with the contemporary moment. The exhibition develops the concept of thinking historically in the present by adopting a working methodology that privileges the role of intuition and incidence.
Contemporary creators are assigned in two directions for their inspiration. Greek studio jewelers are empowered with the dynamism of the Greek revolution of 1821. Inspired by historic mottos, heroes of the revolution, literature that hymns courage and glory, events and traditions, traditional costumes, and jewelry, their work triggers a personal message. Artists from the US have been assigned to respond with a more liberal approach applying to their personal inner search for artistic expression inspired by any revolution that applies to their experience as citizens of a modern society.
Both nationals chose artifacts or social issues following an imaginative journey through history and tradition which leads to the discovery of unique creations. Innovation is demonstrated with the choice of bizarre materials and forms. Large pins and neckpieces, polymorphic body jewelry, vests, table, and small objects are only some types of artistic interest. For their construction obvious or unexpected materials are chosen. Precious metals, paper, textiles, clay, wood, dried fruit, embroidery threads, silk fabrics and even family heirlooms from family chests were opened and utilized. Different materials add to a rich palette of colors expressing revolt, anger, freedom, sadness, or rebirth. Artists follow very diverse paths governed by their educational backgrounds, adding artistic value to the whole of their composition.
Completing 30 years of operation, ILJM continues to aim in preserving and promoting the art of historic and contemporary jewelry and decorative arts. As an international hub the museum remains at the service of the community, supporting education and research, projecting contemporary design, and defending creativity and innovation in our country’s artistic production.

Where is my Point?
Σημάδι στο σύμπαν και Στιγμή στο χρόνο, Άτομο μέσα στο πλήθος, Σπόρος στη γη, ακόμα και Νεύμα από το χάος μπορεί να είναι το Σημείο μου.
Δεν γνωρίζει ούτε το ίδιο τον εαυτό του – πόσο μάλλον εγώ αυτό- .
Κυοφορεί το μηδέν και μετά το άπειρο, αν νεκρωθεί ζωντανεύει, ακατάπαυστα διαστέλλεται- συστέλλεται- στρεβλώνεται, μαγικά αλλάζει μα παραμένει ίδιο, γόνιμο μέσα του κι απ’ έξω στείρο.
Θέλει μονάχα να το αναζητώ, να το βρίσκω κι αυτό να χάνεται, μόνο τότε μπορεί και σημαίνει, κι όταν σημαίνει υπάρχει, κι όταν υπάρχει μιλά, για το πώς το μεγάλο τίποτα μπορεί να γίνει το μικρό πάν, κι αυτή είναι μία αρχή, Ένα, το δικό μου Σημείο.
Μα πού χάθηκε πάλι?

Κόρη, Τόπος - Αρματωσιά Ψυχής
Κόρη είναι τόπος μυστικός, αθέατος μα τόσο οικείος,
τα μάτια μικρά για να τον δουν, τα δάκτυλα λίγα για να τον αγγίξουν.
Πολλοί είν΄ αυτοί που χάνουνε τον δρόμο προς την Κόρη,
πιστεύουνε τους οδηγούς που λένε "Ακούστε εμάς!"
όμως δεν έχουν λέξεις.
Μα όσοι εμπιστεύονται τους άλλους, αυτούς που λένε πως,
"Τον χάρτη μόνο η ψυχή τον ζωγραφίζει,
τον χάρτη τον συμμετρικό του μέσα με το έξω"
αυτοί μονάχα βρίσκονται στην Κόρη.
Κι εκεί, ακούν τα όνειρα της γης λουλουδιασμένης,
τον ήλιο που δεν έδυσε ποτέ εκεί μυρίζουν,
εκεί δροσίζονται από φωτιές,
χαϊδεύονται από άστρα κάλλους
που λάμπουνε απλόχερα για τον αγνό εαυτό τους,
σε ουρανούς καθρέφτες ιριδίζονται,
πολύχρωμοι ξυπνούν στα κύματα αγκαλιές της Κόρης.
Αυτόν τον τόπο αφουγκράσου, τον ουτοπικό,
μετά θα βρεις τον τρόπο πώς,
"Κόρη" να λες όσα δεν θες να χάσεις
κι όσα θα θες να βρεις για να αποκτήσεις ένα,
εσένα.
...κι εκεί θα σχηματίζεσαι ξανά, από την αρχή...
Γι αυτό μη βιάζεσαι, δες την απόλυτη σειρά, τη θεϊκή,
πρώτα ψυχή, καρδιά, κεφάλι, μετά ο άνθρωπος,
μία γραμμή είναι ο δρόμος για την Κόρη, γίνε εσύ ο διαβάτης.
Κι αν λαβωθείς απ' το ά-σχημο
αφού την πανοπλία της ψυχής σου έχεις χάσει,
τότε να πεις την λέξη αυτή, την μαγική,
σκέψου την ή και ψέλλισε την, συλλαβιστά ή φωναχτά,
είναι το ίαμα το μυστικό, το τόσο απλό, το μόνο...
Πες, "ΚΟΡΗ"

Enter a graphic world where art and storytelling collide in the largest exhibition of manga ever to take place outside of Japan.
Manga is a visual narrative art form that has become a multimedia global phenomenon, telling stories with themes from gender to adventure, in real or imagined worlds.
Immersive and playful, the exhibition will explore manga’s global appeal and cultural crossover, showcasing original Japanese manga and its influence across the globe, from anime to ‘cosplay’ dressing up. This influential art form entertains, inspires and challenges – and is brought to life like never before in this ground-breaking exhibition.

New collection by Maria Apostolopoulou designed exclusively for the Museum of Cycladic Art
and the exhibition “Crete. Emerging cities: Aptera ― Eleutherna ― Knossos. Three ancient cities revived”
December 2018 -30 April 2019
and the exhibition “Crete. Emerging cities: Aptera ― Eleutherna ― Knossos. Three ancient cities revived”
December 2018 -30 April 2019
The Museum of Cycladic Art, the Regional Services of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports (Ephorates of Antiquities of Chania, Rethymno, and Herakleion) and the Region of Crete are co-organizing the exhibition entitled “Crete. Emerging cities: Aptera ― Eleutherna ― Knossos. Three ancient cities revived” from 12 December 2018 to 30 April 2019. This is a multi-faceted exhibition with rich audio-visual aids, including screens, maps, and innovative technologies.
The exhibition focuses on three of Crete’s one-hundred cities, according to Homer (hekatompolis), and their common characteristics: their establishment, acme, decline, destruction, abandonment, and demise. Cities with centuries-long history, cities that were abandoned and forgotten, but are also tangible examples of archaeological investigation using similar or different approaches.
The exhibition comprises approximately 500 artefacts dating from the Neolithic (7th-6th millennium BC) to the Byzantine period (8th century AD), some newly discovered, others from old excavations, most of them never presented to the public before: statues, reliefs, figurines, inscriptions, vases, weapons, jewellery, coins, and other artefacts of various materials—limestone, marble, clay, metal (bronze, iron, silver, and gold), faience, glass, ivory, and semi-precious stones. This is the first time that so many artefacts leave the storerooms of the Antiquities Ephorates and display cases of the museums of Crete for a temporary exhibition in Athens.

Satori "Sudden Awakening"
With the exhibition Satori, Eleni Marneri Galerie invite us to awake our expectations and undiscovered emotions. The end of one more year creates the urge for self-awareness. Some circles are being completed in order to open new ones. It is the right moment to listen to ourselves. The japanese term Satori (悟り), that literally means understanding and is defined as a deep and substantial procedure of spiritual enlightenment, became the stimulus for this exhibition. Getting in touch with our inner self, we are immersed in a constant introspection coming closer to the "sudden awakening", as Jack Kerouac refers to his novel "Satori in Paris".
All the gallery space is turned into oikos (house) – the house of soul, that permit ourselves to intuit our profound desires. Twelve designers surrender to a endless flow of creativity and inspiration. Through art they touch their own light and bliss and each creation signifies their personal Satori. Outstanding jewellery, ceramic objects, light installations, visual compositions with fabric warm the atmosphere by illuminating the mind and the spirit. Different materials and techniques result in designs that release movement, energy and power, symbolising the uninterrupted flow of change and progression.
Participant designers: Katerina Anastasiou, Mari Aoyama, Maria Apostolopoulou, Nikos Karakostas, Sissy Koukeri, Maria Mastori, Jeremy May, Melina Polychronopoulou, Elli Sofianopoulou, Joy Stathopoulou, Vasilis Vassiliou and Sofia Zarari.
Opening: November 23rd 2018, 19:00-22:00

Museum of Cycladic Art from 2-11-2017 till 15-4-2018
The Exhibition will be held from November 2017 to April 2018 and will present to the general public extraordinary samples of the ancient coinage, mainly from the Alpha Bank Nuimismatic Collection.
>> The Exhibition theme relates to the diverse references and readings of the symbols depicted on coins, from the late seventh century BC into Roman times. The coin is, first and foremost, man’s basic medium of transaction, the means by which people cover their everyday needs and the State makes payments and honours its monetary obligations.
>> Ancient coins, however, are not merely media of transaction; they are of themselves tangible symbols, symbols that are literally handled, that are read, that are comprehended. That is why the representations they carry provide important information –historical and other– which is linked with the place and the authority that issued the coins.
>> In the eight thematic units of the Exhibition, alongside the exquisite specimens of numismatic art a selection of other objects (statues, reliefs, vases, figurines, inscriptions) from museums in Greece and abroad will be displayed, the iconography and the references of which document scientifically the images imprinted on the coin flans.

Art Jewellery Exhibition
EVERYTHING FLOWS?
Will we see dreams? Will there be water? Will wounds heal? What will joy be like? Will days succeed nights? Will there still be questions?
“Everything flows”, the renowned philosophical saying by Heraclitus, is also converted into a question, in order to articulate contemporary anxieties, fears and concerns.
Will jewellery, as the protector of the soul, manage to reassure us?
Thirteen jewellery designers from the J.A.W. jewellery art workers group and a video artist pose questions using the discourse of creative jewellery and the image, update what has so far gone unchallenged, challenging the era of neo-absurdism.
Will there be answers?
Participants include the Jewellery Art Workers: Maria Apostolopoulou, Achilleas Georgiadis, Stella Deligianni, Artemis Zafrana, Iosif Iosifidis, Nikos Karakostas,, Apostolos Klitsiotis, Vally Kontidis, Mary Margoni, Sarina Beza, Sofia Papalexiou, Maria Psarianou, - D’Olium (Sofia Bahlava-Vassilis Stamoulis) and the video artist Theofanis Konstantinou

Maria Apostolopoulou designs "Gods" collection inspired by the emblems and symbols of the Greek gods and goddesses, exclusively for the "Defining Beauty" exhibition at the British Museum
Focusing on the human body, this major exhibition allows visitors to experience the brilliance and diversity of ancient Greek art.
For centuries the ancient Greeks experimented with ways of representing the human body, both as an object of beauty and a bearer of meaning.
The remarkable works of art in the exhibition ranges from abstract simplicity of prehistoric figurines to breathtaking realism in the age of Alexander the Great. These works continued to inspire artists for hundreds of years, giving form to thought and shaping our own perceptions of ourselves.
'The chief forms of beauty are order, symmetry and clear delineation’ – Aristotle
'In portraying ideal types of beauty... you bring together from many models the most beautiful features of each' – Socrates

HYGIEIA -NEW JEWELLERY AND OBJECT COLLECTION FOR THE CYCLADIC ART MUSEUM
HYGIEIA. Health, Illness, Treatment from Homer to Galen
from 19/11/2014 until 31/5/2015
How did ancient Greeks care for their nutrition and bodies? How did they address the issue of public health? What would an athlete do if he got injured 2.500 years ago? Were there any surgical tools? How did they use opium and other pharmaceutical substances and herbs?
From the dawn of its existence, humanity has strived to improve all aspects of living conditions. Achieving and maintaining good health, seeking to understand the causes of diseases and, mainly, searching for solutions to fight and treat illnesses have been a primary concern and interest throughout all periods of civilization.
The Museum of Cycladic Art presents the major archaeological exhibition Hygieia: Health, Illness and Treatment from Homer to Galen, focusing on the universal subject of Health, providing an overview of the evolution of ancient medical practices: the transition from magico-religious healing practices to rational, scientific medicine. The exhibition presents approximately 300 artifacts with the participation of 41 international museums, including the Louvre, the British Museum, the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, the Musei Capitolini.
Our earliest literary sources for the history of Greek medicine are the epic works of Homer which clearly reveal that the Greeks of the Heroic Age linked sickness and disease with the supernatural, regarding them as manifestations of the wrath of the gods. To appease the gods, they employed prayers, purifications, animal sacrifices etc. Even the idea of health (Hygieia) was personified as a wonderful goddess usually accompanied by a snake, the symbol of therapy.
By the late 6th century BC, however, philosophy came to exercise a powerful influence upon the development of medicine. Hippocrates and the classical Greeks were the first to evolve rational systems of medicine free from magical and religious elements, realizing that maintaining good health and fighting disease depend on natural causes.

"SNAKE" sealstone ring from Hygieia collection
Asklepios, the son of Apollo and Koronis, was the Greek god of healing. He is shown leaning on a stick with a snake, coiled around it. The snake, being a symbol of renewal because of its ability to change its skin, became the god’s sacred animal.

Ποια είναι τα αόρατα νησιά? Οι αθέατες όψεις του πραγματικού, οι αθέατες όψεις των άλλων, των εαυτών μας, αλλά και οι αθέατες όψεις του χρόνου που άλλοτε σκεπάζει και άλλοτε αποκαλύπτει η πάχνη του.
Ίσως το θέμα να είναι τελικά ο τρόπος με τον οποίο μας αποκαλύπτονται οι αθέατες όψεις, «ανάμεσα από τις γραμμές», μια υπόθεση που σχετίζεται με την τέχνη, αλλά όχι μόνο...
Έργα χώρου, βίντεο, ζωγραφικής, διάδρασης, κείμενα αλλά και δράσεις που θα ανακοινωθούν περισσότερο ή λιγότερο εγκαίρως.

Μετά την επιτυχημένη αρχή της 1ης Εαρινής Σύναξης 2013, η Σχολή Αργυροχρυσοχοΐας Στεμνίτσας και η Στέγη Αργυροχρυσοχοΐας Στεμνίτσας, υπό την αιγίδα του Δήμου Γορτυνίας, διοργανώνουν τη 2η Εαρινή Σύναξη Αργυροχρυσοχόων, από τις 2 έως τις 11 Μαΐου 2014, στη Στεμνίτσα Αρκαδίας. Περιλαμβάνει εξειδικευμένα σεμινάρια από επαγγελματίες του χώρου προς μαθητές, αποφοίτους και εκπαιδευτικούς Σχολών Αργυροχρυσοχοΐας.
Σε μια εποχή που η μαθητεία –μέσω της αγοράς εργασίας- δίπλα σε παλιούς αριστοτέχνες μαστόρους, αλλά και σε νέους εξειδικευμένους αργυροχρυσοχόους γίνεται όλο και πιο δύσκολη, η Εαρινή Σύναξη Αργυροχρυσοχόων επιχειρεί να μεταδώσει τη γνώση χωρίς «κρυφά» σημεία, να φέρει σε επαφή τη νέα γενιά αργυροχρυσοχόων με την παλαιότερη και, εν τέλει, να δημιουργήσει τις κατάλληλες συνθήκες για μια νέα ελληνική αργυροχρυσοχοΐα, όπου η σύγχρονη αντίληψη του design θα συνδυάζεται με την αρτιότητα παλαιών τεχνικών.
Η διοργάνωση εκφράζει, με την ευκαιρία αυτή, θερμές ευχαριστίες προς όλους τους συμμετέχοντες δασκάλους που με την αφιλοκερδή τους συμμετοχή στηρίζουν το παραπάνω όραμα.

Glyptography jewellery by the prominent Greek designers of Cosmochaos studio, are now being presented at the British Museum shop.
The British Museum through its shop promotes to the international public works by contemporary artists inspired by the history and art of ancient civilizations. Amongst them as of May 2013 Greek jewelry by COSMOCHAOS design studio.
Cosmochaos designs and creates jewelry since 1994, focusing on the revival of the ancient art of Glyptography, the art of carving and engraving of precious stones which flourished in prehistoric and classical Greece. Through "The Glyptic collection", it contributes to help maintain and evolve this fine art which is disappearing.
With raw material such as silver and rock crystal, the clear and colorless variety of the mineral quartz (Quartz), the eminent designers of Cosmochaos studio, Maria Apostolopoulou and Nikos Karakostas, develop specific, multilevel techniques interweaving ancient Glyptography with contemporary design.
Archetypal symbols, images inspired by the universe, nature, the laws of harmony and randomness of chaos, hand carved on gemstones by diamond.
Jewelry reinvents its primal symbolist dimension and Modern Greek jewelry acquires the position it deserves in the international scene.
Tα γλυπτικά κοσμήματα των διακεκριμένων Ελλήνων σχεδιαστών κοσμημάτων του Cosmochaos studio, στο πωλητήριο του Βρετανικού μουσείου.
Το Βρετανικό μουσείο μέσα από το πωλητήριο του προωθεί στο διεθνές κοινό δουλειές σύγχρονων καλλιτεχνών με σημαντικό έργο εμπνευσμένο από την ιστορία και την τέχνη των αρχαίων πολιτισμών. Ανάμεσα τους από Μάιο του 2013 βρίσκονται και τα κοσμήματα των Ελλήνων σχεδιαστών του COSMOCHAOS jewellery design studio.
Το Cosmochaos σχεδιάζει και δημιουργεί κοσμήματα από το 1994, εστιάζοντας στην αναβίωση της αρχαίας τέχνης της γλυπτογραφίας ή σφραγιδογλυφίας, δηλαδή την τέχνη της γλυπτικής και χάραξης των πολύτιμων λίθων που άνθισε στην προιστορική και κλασσική Ελλάδα. Μέσα από τη συλλογή του "Τhe Glyptic collection" , συμβάλλει στη διάσωση και σύγχρονη εξέλιξη της υψηλής αυτής τέχνης που τείνει να εξαφανιστεί.
Με πρώτες ύλες το ασήμι και την Ορεία Κρύσταλλο, δηλαδή τη διάφανη και άχρωμη ποικιλία του ορυκτού χαλαζία (Quartz ), οι διακεκριμένοι σχεδιαστές του Cosmochaos studio, Μαρία Αποστολοπούλου και Νίκος Καρακώστας, μέσα από τη γλυπτογραφική τους συλλογή αναπτύσσουν ιδιαίτερες, πολυεπίπεδες τεχνικές συνυφαίνοντας την αρχαία γλυπτογραφία με το σύγχρονο design. Αρχετυπικές εσώγλυφες παραστάσεις- σύμβολα , εικόνες εμπνευσμένες από το σύμπαν, τη φύση, τους νόμους της αρμονίας και την τυχαιότητα του χάους, χαράσσονται με το χέρι πάνω σε πολύτιμους λίθους, με μοναδικό εργαλείο το σκληρότερο υλικό της φύσης , το διαμάντι.
Το κόσμημα επανεφευρίσκει την συμβολιστική του διάσταση και η σύγχρονη Ελληνική κοσμηματοποιΐα τοποθετείται στη θέση που της αξίζει μέσα στην διεθνή σκηνή.

ART BANK
Friday 2 & Saturday 3 December,
16:00-21:00
Diplareios, Ground Floor
Currency and exchange value are historically linked to economic phenomena, people’s psychology, state power and art. The production of currency by active artists brings the artwork closer to the public, outside of conventional exhibition spaces.
The artists of Art Bank, having worked feverishly for two years under adverse conditions (weather, financial, emotional ones and others), managed to produce currency/art works, presented and exchanged within the 3rd Athens Biennale. At the same time, there will be a call for artists, businesses, professionals and individuals to participate in the exchange network of Art Bank.
During the operation of the bank in MONODROME, there will be a screening of the video: "Art Bank: Art against the brutality/opposite of power", by Theofanis Konstantinou
Participants: Anastasia Kapiniari, Aphrodite Goula , Aphrodite Karamanli, Yiannis Antonopoulos, Despina Pantazi, Diamantis Staggidis, Dyonisia Michali, Eleni Polychronatou, Ellie Chousou, Kimon Aksaopoulos, COSMOCHAOS, Litsa Mousouli, Maria Apostolopoulou, Maria Doukaki, Maria Liakou, Marios Paschalis, Betty Tsigarida, Fotini Aleksopoulou

"DRAMA AND THE JEWELLER"
exhibition
Michael Cacoyiannis Foundation
17-29 November 2011
When the art of drama meets the art of jewellery, then…
The lights go down, the time ‘s moviola starts to move backwards,
fire heats up silver, gemstones are polished and gold is forged,
while black and white pictures reel frame-by-frame through the jeweller's imagination...
From “Electra” to “Evdokia”, from “Stella" to “Antigone”, from “Iphigenia” and the “Brides” to Marika in “Rembetiko”, these symbolic, archetypical, fatal women become muses and source of inspiration for the creator-enchanter of the earth's precious materials.
The J.A.W. (Jewellery Art Workers) group create jewels to ornament unforgettable interpretations of female characters that lit up the dark rooms.
Drama and jewellery, form and performance become raw material in the hands of the 20 jewel creators of the J.A.W. group, who trace in their unique way the history of Greek cinema.
With the participation of : Achilleas Georgiadis, Afroditi Goula, Stella Deligiani, Artemis Zafrana, Thomas Thomidis, Iosif Iosifidis, Vally Kontidis, Apostolos Klitsiotis, Katerina Malami, Mary Margoni - Yiannis Mandylakis, Sarina Beza, Fotini Nikolaidou, Nikos Papadopoulos, Sofia Papalexiou, Maria Psarianou, COSMOCHAOS Maria Apostolopoulou - Nikos Karakostas , D¨OLIUM Sofia Bachlava - Vasilis Stamoulis, and the visual and video artist Theofanis Konstantinou.
Lighting: Ilias Eliezer

Cecil Thomas (1885-1976) was one of England's most noted sculptors. He was also a medallist, a seal and gem engraver, that carved and engraved gem materials in intaglio, cameo and miniature sculpture.
His student and heir, Nick Kielty-Lambrinides(1920-2004) was half Greek , he became a master Gem engraver in his own right and founded a School of Glyptic Arts in Athens , aiming to revive the art of Glyptography.
The 20th -21st century history of European Glyptography was presented at Royal Society of British Sculptors in May 2008 . Passing from Cecil Thomas to Nick Kielty -Lambrinides , the contemporary history of glyptography is continuing and written by his own students , that had been formed into a group in 1994 called Cosmochaos ,based in Greece but exhibiting throughout Europe, carring on Thomas's and Lambrinides's tradition of excellence and inventiveness. Cosmochaos (now teachers in their own right) , set the rules of Modern Glyptography.
A series of lectures by Dr. Emmanuel Minne , Dr Harris Livas and Cosmochaos ,held at RBSS.
An exhibition of historic pieces made by Cecil Thomas and Nick Kielty- Lambrinides ,besides Contamporary Glyptographical pieces made by Cosmochaos studio ,gave a chance to the audience to see at close hand a number of examples of important Gem Engraving works.
