Handwerk
gallery
Where did jewellery begin? The current exhibition "Jewellery all along the line" shows how the origins of jewellery - a string - developed into a wide variety of meanings and forms, continued in an unbroken line through the history of humankind and is still valid today. We follow this line and show the origin of the string as a jewellery object through to contemporary examples by international goldsmiths. The Galerie Handwerk in Munich is the cultural institution of the Chamber of Crafts for Munich and Upper Bavaria. It is part of the department for the fostering of handicraft in Bavaria and was founded in 1968. It is the task of the Galerie Handwerk to communicate the quality and sustainability of the arts and crafts to a wide audience.

Academy of Fine Arts Munich
The aim of the jewelry class in Munich is to offer freedom to examine jewelry and equipment. Creating freedom for students means bringing awareness to existing limitations that exist both inside and outside the jewelry sector. In addition to ethical or physical ones, there are also less tangible limitations on jewelry that are determined by society. In collaboration with the students, these limitations, traditions and existing power structures can be examined and/or challenged, and what is taken for granted can be examined.

Galleries
Scheytt Gallery
Jewellery is not meant for the showcase, jewellery should be worn. Bringing both together under one roof, the special pieces of jewellery and the special people who make "their" favourite piece shine, that was the vision when we founded our gallery for jewellery and art. Since 2016, we have been showcasing a unique selection of wearable, high-quality and unusual jewellery from over 70 renowned studios and workshops. The range is complemented by changing exhibitions of contemporary art.
Maurer Zilioli
Gallery
JASMINE MATZAKOV THE LORE OF SINNERS, CUNTS AND WHORES Jasmin Matzakow's most recent works - majestic and monumental, sensual and provocative at the same time - are reminiscent of archetypal cultic body ornaments. They lead us into another world in which the feminine itself corresponded to a mythological dimension. Matzakov wants to transport us into this atmosphere. Goddesses, high priestesses, wise women and female primal emotions are evoked here. Innovative, archaic, even solemn harmony and splendour thus come into force, which are vividly manifested in Jasmin Matzakow's quasi "heroic" necklace. February 27 – March 3, 2024 Amalienstr. 21 80333 Munich Opening hours: Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun 11 a.m. – 6 p.m Soft opening: Tuesday, February 27th, 5 p.m. – 8 p.m
Gallery
Quittenbaum
Quittenbaum Gallery is dedicating a survey exhibition to the artist couple Margit Hart and Fritz Maierhofer with works from 1970 to the present day. Maierhofer came to free jewelry art at the end of the 1960s, creating trendy works in tune with the times. Margit Hart found inspiration for enamel brooch objects in the USA. The juxtaposition creates an exciting understanding of the subtleties of their artistic concepts. Both delve into new materials and new techniques to create conceptually innovative yet wearable jewelry and wall objects. Quittenbaum Gallery represents contemporary artists who work across borders.
