Join curator Sasha Nixon (MA ’18) for a tour of the exhibition A View from the Jeweler’s Bench: Ancient Treasures, Contemporary Statements. The show explores how contemporary jewelry makers are drawing from antique forms and techniques to create modern works of art. Our Gallery presents the exhibition at a time when art and academic institutions are increasingly focused on contemporary art jewelry, and in a moment when ancient jewelry has become a prevalent source of inspiration for contemporary jewelry artists.
Sasha Nixon is a curator, jewelry historian, and practicing metalsmith. She received her MA from Bard Graduate Center in May of 2018, where her qualifying paper was selected as the outstanding exhibition QP and chosen for presentation by the faculty.
Thursday, February 14, 12:15–1:15 pm
18 West 86th Street, Lobby
RSVP: laura.minsky@bgc.bard.edu
