The Once More, With Love exhibition, curated by Suse Scholem and Simon Cottrell opens next week at Studio 20/17 in Sydney.
Suse has put together a great website for the show, that will be updated with images of the pieces in the future. Perhaps more importantly she has put up links to a lot of compelling reading in the Resources section of the site. Here you can read up on the issues to find out why she was so passionate about bringing the Ethical Metalsmiths concept of the Radical Jewelry Makeover to Australia, which culminated in this exhibition.
In keeping with the ideas of the exhibition there is a lecture being given next Tuesday, with the opening celebration to follow on Saturday.
