Margit Jäschke
Schmuck Museum, Pforzheim
10 December 2022 - 16 April 2023
The artist Margit Jäschke describes herself as a wanderer between art worlds. Transcending the common boundaries of installation, painting, sculpture and art jewellery, she has created a distinctly individual oeuvre. Deliberately blurring the distinction between wearable jewellery and autonomous works of art, she emphasises details that evoke different associations in different viewers.
The jewellery artist describes her approach as follows: “If you ask me about the ‘leitmotif’ running through my work, my main priority is not on ideas, concepts, materials or processes, but I try to be aware of ‘when the moment is right.’” The relevant Greek god Kairos stands for auspicious moments that we ought to seize lest they pass us by.
Born in 1962, Margit Jäschke studied Jewellery Design at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle in the 1980s. She lives and works as an independent artist in Halle (Saale).
The exhibition showcases Margit Jäschke’s multifaceted, multiple award-winning oeuvre created over the course of the past thirty years.
It was previously on view at the GRASSI Museum in Leipzig and will be shown at the Museum of Arts and Crafts Hamburg from November 2023 to April 2024.
