Voile!! Joaillerie Par Mazlo.
Such an elegant gallery,I enjoyed an excellent and enlightening discussion with Celine Robin Author jewellery. Par Mazlo is unique as it is not a dealer gallery as such but instead holds selected and curated exhibitions for international jewellery. This decision marks the deliberate and passionate goal of raising the level of Author jewellery in Paris. The term author jewellery defines and describes a unique ownership according to Robin, when the Author/Maker the sees the process through from inception to creation thus leaving the imprint of the psyche in the work for the final encounter with the viewer.
Robin believes Parisians struggle with semantics, and expressed that the term joaillerie already focuses on precision and staging also France is overwhelmed with big jewellery Houses and in this way often the contemporary jewellery is confined to and labled as Costume. (this was something i had noticed at MAD where works like a stuffed animal necklace of Lisa Walkers had been labeled as costume jewellery). So french are not so open to blurring the boundaries and combining the disciplines that are pulling jewellery into the art realm. Robin believes that the problem with definition is not with institutions but that it is the responsibility of the curator to accurately define and bring professionalism to the field. later in conversation I mentioned how in NZ makers often have a bread and butter line to which Robin commented that this is not helpful to the author jewellers cause, Stating that here the responsibility is with The Artist as making to make money will equal a loss of credibility for the maker, and in the end collectors need to see art not a consumable.
