As a response to an open call for an exhibition about the relationship between jewelry and pornography, each member of A5 created a piece of jewelry and a photograph that illustrated his or her personal relationship to the idea of pornography in contemporary culture

The first public presentation of the group A5 was done through an exhibition at Konstfack University, the place where the three artists met. As a display method, A5 filled simple canvas tubes each with 85 kilograms of sand, establishing a sense of danger as well as serenity that activiated the jewelry pieces that adorned each element.

Every year an artist is invited to make pieces of jewelry for the graduating class of Interior Architechture at Konstfack University. For this assignment A5 generated a series of unique objects by swapping pieces and freely working on each others projects, ultimately creating a unified series of works as gifts for the graduating students. The pieces were then photographed on the the then president of Konstfack University Dr. Ivar Björkman.

OPEN SOURCE JEWELRY

14/08/2017

OPEN CALL

A5 would like to formally invite you to submit a CAD model for our new project – OPEN SOURCE JEWELRY (OSJ) that will be exhibited at the 6th European Triennial of Contemporary Jewelry as a collaborative A5 project.

 

Dead line for submitting Cad files for the 6th European Triennial of Contemporary Jewelry is Friday the 18th of August. Submit your files to OPENSOURCE@AFIVE.SE

 

OSJ is project that deals with the idea of the digital asset as a fluid form of creativity. Files of any size and complexity can be shared and manipulated, eliminating geographical boundaries. OSJ is about the understanding of the internet as its own territory for the freedom of sharing ideas. Scale and volume are nonexistant in the digital realm – CAD models are not limited by resolution – the printing process determines the fidelity of any given model as well as its material characteristics. OSJ seeks to create a level field of understanding by representing each unique model in standard PLA plastic, in a maximum scale of 100 x 100 x 100 mm.

A5 is in the process of creating a new project that deals with the idea of 3d digital assets and online sharing culture. We’re looking to create a library of digital models that will be printed and displayed at a variety of exhibitions and locations.

We are looking to create a model library from just about anyone who has a digital 3d asset. – ANYTHING GOES.

Your model will be printed in plastic and displayed in a the traveling exhibition the 6th European Triennal of Contemporary Jewellery in Mons Belgium.

Requirements:

– A solid 3d model in STL format
– Your name (or avatar, or alias, or whatever) and your geographic location

By submitting your model you agree to allow A5 to manipulate your model and and use it as we see fit in a professional context. As implied by the title, we’re looking to create a culture of sharing within the field of craft and applied art.

PLEASE SHARE THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED

A5 was formed in 2008 with the idea of connecting three artists whom shared a similar vision. Annika Pettersson, Romina Fuentes, and Adam Grinovich met while studying at the Adellab/metalformgivning department at Konstfack University. Each member maintains a career as a professional artist in the field of contemporary jewelry. A5 has since served as a forum for creative discussion and international cross-disciplinary collaboration.

 

A5 has worked on a variety of projects with the main goal of establishing connections with as many diverse fields as possible. It is extremely important for A5 to promote work to a large audience, collectively and individually we feed off of the viewpoint of the viewer, the relationship between objects, images, and individuals.
