"TOOLS FOR DESIRE"
curated by Sophie Hanagart and matt lambert
WEBSITE IN PROGRESS...
come back soon for all infos and registering!
Desire is a word describing a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. Together we meet to wander in our stories and narratives of why we make and what it is we desire, and dream. So often when we present there is a locating of the object as the work. But what if we reposition the work as a material or a tool? Material or tool as something metaphorical, physical, and as concepts to think with. What then do these tools do? What do they make or why have they been made? Together we meet to explore broader contexts and to unpack motivations, drives and desires and what role the objects we make play on our individual paths that we could call the work.
Tools for Desire, brings together a constellation of beings connected by having practices that grapple with the relationship of body and object. Motivated by the desire to build kinship, we tend a space to share what paths we create when wandering with desire, creating faint marks on the earth of where we and others have been. Gathering together a constellation of invited presenters and an open invitation to attend a collective is formed. We have and will together cross borders of geography, histories, languages and perspectives. Meeting for a brief privileged moment we wander together. In wandering we may arrive at the same place, and together we share how we got here and where we want to go. Going beyond the formalities of lecture presentations, to speak with each other and share our paths over meals, coffee breaks and dancing. A space and time to glean from each other's stories.

BIO (Temporary text from: https://visitalta.no/)
“On a small hill overlooking the Kautokeino River, lies the life work of Frank and Regine Juhls. Since 1959, they have built what is today referred to as an oasis on the Finnmarksvidda. In the 1950s, Kautokeino was an isolated society where the traditional Sami way of life was strong. Regine came to Kautokeino and Finnmark to experience the hard and real life through a winter. That was not the case.She worked as a maid for a reindeer herding family and on the plateau she met the Danish adventurer Frank Juhls. This was the start of a love story of the rare…
Not long after the cabin was built, Frank undertook to repair the jewelry of the locals...The Sami came to Frank with the jewelery and with a silversmith in the village they could make jewelery to their own taste. The building itself has developed over the decades. For every decade there has been a new room… At the bottom of the gallery you will find Regine steadily and constantly in the height. Here she works with her life’s work, which is constantly getting new facets. Her husband Frank passed away in 2020, but the gallery and the art live on in the gallery on the plateau.”

@studioyukaoyama
BIO
Yuka Oyama’s artistic practice encompasses wearable sculptures, jewellery, public interventions and performance. Yuka explores the implications of worn personal items for the (re)construction of individual identities. She examines how things that people carry with them for years become part of their extended self, as well as tools to create an alternative, continuous home, especially for those who live nomadic lives. She employs methods of field research such as object-based interviews and experimental performances with human-thing hybrid costumes.
Oyama studied jewellery and light metals at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence (USA), Jewellery at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under Prof. Otto Künzli, and Fine Art under Prof. Asta Gröting. She received her doctorate in artistic research at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in Norway in 2017 with the title The Stubborn Life of Objects (2012-2017). In the artistic research, she investigated how personal objects carry imagined, active, and dynamic inner forces and how these can be made accessible through worn sculptures. Since 2003, Oyama’s work has been presented in numerous international exhibitions, including the Marta Herford Museum, The Dowse Art Museum in Wellington (New Zealand), the Pratt Manhattan Gallery in New York, the SPACES Gallery in Cleveland, the Bellerive Museum in Zurich and the House of World Cultures in Berlin. She leads Jewellery and Sculpture at Burg Giebichenstein Academy of Art and Design Halle.

BIO
Daniel Ramos Obregón is a Colombian artist, designer, drag performer, and educator currently based in Stockholm. His works often inquire about notions of human existence, specifically in contemporary society, such as the construction of the self in terms of identity, gender, and race, and the relation between mind and body, the spiritual and the material. His practice is rooted in thinking through making—in a wide range of media such as jewelry, ceramics, and leather—to create highly narrative objects and wearable art.
His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally in events such as Munich Jewellery Week, the Latinamerican Contemporary Jewelry Biennial, the Lisbon Jewellery Biennial, and the Venice Design Biennale, as well as in museums and galleries like Liljevalchs Konsthall (SWE), De Kerk–Museum Arnhem (NL), the Buenos Aires National Museum for Decorative Arts (ARG), Bayerischer Kunstgewerbeverein (GER), among others. He was a finalist in the accessory category at International Talent Support (2014) and has been nominated three times to the “Premio Lápiz de Acero” in 2015 and 2023.
Daniel graduated with a BA in Design from Universidad de los Andes in 2011—where he later worked as a professor for over 8 years—and an MA in Fashion Artefact from the London College of Fashion in 2014. He also studied in the Research Lab Craft program at Konstfack in 2024.

BIO: Neke Moa is tākata whenua (indigenous, māori) from Aotearoa/NZ. She creates adornment and objects. She has exhibited locally and internationally, was part of the Handshake project from 2010 to 2024, most recently awarded the Herbert Hofman prize in 2023, teaches and makes from her home in Ōtaki.
Neke Moa’s practice seeks to promote Hauora (health and sustainability) by deepening connections between people, tōhunga (knowledge holders), and atua (deities). Using materials from the environment, and drawing on customary and contemporary processes, she works to make mātauranga Māori (knowledge) and pūrākau (stories) newly accessible. Her work explores our connections within the spaces of the seen and unseen, the place where wairua (spirituality) resides and creativity is sourced.
“Through collaboration, building and maintaining relationships and a constant curiosity I am able to sustain an art practice that continues to evolve.”

BIO
Picking cherries, planting potatoes in Jersey and working in the vineyards was a real joy for Monika Brugger. The jewel returned when she had finished her Wanderjahre.
She was sometimes mistaken for a Swiss, yet she was born in Germany and looked out of the window at Switzerland, and today she claims France as her adopted home and jewellery as her Heimat. She lives between two languages. which is sometimes difficult and sometimes a real joy. Which is sometimes difficult and sometimes a real joy. She questions words even more, their meanings, their sounds, and she has fun with happy slips of the tongue. This is where she discovers her mother tongue most pertinently, and where she has chosen to explore the semantic repertoire available to jewellery and body adornment in her adopted language.

Friends of the Jewellery Symposium
2024, the non-profit association "Förderkreis Schmucksymposium e.V." is being founded so that the organizing volunteers can now prevent possible problems with liability and insurance and stabilise financing somewhat.
Membership
The membership fee is 10€/year for individuals and 100€ for institutions/companies and will be debited before the annual symposium date. Individual members may receive a discount in the amount of the membership fee on the participation fee of the symposium taking place in the respective calendar year.
History of the Symposium
Haxthäuser Hof Jewellery Symposium = former Zimmerhof Jewellery Symposium = former Haldenhof Meeting
Haldenhof
The first meeting at Haus Haldenhof was held in 1967. Back then, about 20 representatives of the jewellery scene gathered in this converted farmhouse in Wissgoldingen near Schwäbisch Gmünd to talk about and discuss jewellery and related themes. What started as a modest get-together developed over the course of the past few decades into an international forum that attracts about 100 people from all over the world every year to exchange their thoughts and ideas in lectures and discussions, to present jewellery, establish contacts and generally get to know each other.
The participants include representatives of all fields related to jewellery, such as goldsmiths, trainees, university students, designers, jewellery manufacturers, gallerists, and many more. Due to the attendants’ international origins, the lectures are held in English nowadays.
The symposium could be held at its original place until Haus Haldenhof’s owner passed away in 1995. Hence, a new venue had to be found for the 1996 meeting.
Zimmerhof
Thanks to the support of Yvonne von Racknitz - a trained jeweller at the vocational school in Pforzheim - the von Racknitz family’s estate in Bad Rappenau the Zimmerhof Farm could be rented as a new meeting place. Very improvised at first, it developed under the carefull management of Ulrich Haas into a venue which proved to be an cosy setting for the three-day symposium thanks to its special atmosphere. Unfortunately Yvonne von Racknitz passed away in December 2018; the Zimmerhof estate was sold by the von Racknitz family after the 2019 Symposium.
Haxthäuser Hof
(HERE A SHORT TEXT ON THE SET-UP AT HHH)
Thriving on more than 50 years of tradition, the Jewellery Symposium is independent of any established institution, association or other type of organization and is conducted by volonteers.
At the end of each symposium, the organizing team selects the curators for the following year, who then, with a lot of commitment and dedication, put together yet another interesting programme which they will host and moderate. Beverages and meals are provided by a kitchen helpers team that is renew each year.
Previous programmes
Unfortunately there is no complete archive of all the 50+ issues of this symposium. The information we have on the previous symposia will be made available here gradually.
2024 ‘The Empathy of Objects’
In the 2024 symposium, we will explore the evolving status of material culture in society, crafts, and the arts, influenced by a "Material Turn" and "New Materialism." The study and production of objects, once overshadowed by a focus on the mind, now considers the 'agency' and 'obstinacy' of things, as well as their narratology and intrinsic 'thingness.'
In the discussion of jewelry as a body-related object, the idea of empathic engagement with material things is emphasized. Jewelry serves as a prime example of how objects and bodies interact, recognizing and relating to each other. This interaction allows for a shared experience of emotions, transforming individual suffering into a collective one. Thus, in a mutual exchange, jewelry exemplifies the possibility of objects being part of an empathic process, fostering a community of compassion through the physical connection. This approach highlights a vision where empathy extends beyond human interaction to include the material world, suggesting a broader, more inclusive ethic of shared experience.

2023 - Eloquent Hands
by Kim Buck and Josephine Winter
The practice of making is a joy and a privilege that we have, and it gives us the ability to express our ideas, feelings and opinions through jewellery or other objects. It’s a practice of making well, repeating, improving, iterating – to find the form, material or concept that expresses precisely what we intend. We use our hands to touch the material, we hold the tools or press the keys, we handle the objects and by doing so we read the objects with our senses, and we keep working until it is just right. We are using our formal knowledge and our tacit knowledge to ´speak jewellery´. This goes for jewellery making, object making and other strands of making – we are involved in a process of working through concrete or meta material striving to find the right balance of `matters` to accomplish eloquence. The options are unlimited - decision making and the editing of material with our hands is what this symposium is about.

2022 - Follow Your Bliss
By Claudia Hoppe and David Huycke
For the artist and designer there is no other way than to follow one’s passion – since without passion you can’t make it anywhere. At the same time, there is also something like reality. Getting somewhere is one thing, staying there, building a career and making a living of it is another. During the symposium ‚follow your bliss‘ we will look openly into the wide scope of jewellery-, product- and object-making and discover the different positions, from the artistic expression through unique pieces as well as serial production.
Every domain has its specific tricks of the trade or unspoken rules to follow and we are eager to learn what they are and what they mean. Questions will be posed such as: Is it necessary to compromise to build a successful career in the arts/design? Or is the way to success the way of the heart? And what does being successful mean anyway? Does one have to work hard to make it or is it not work anymore if you really follow your bliss?
We are eager to hear the stories of our international speakers about conscious decisions, lucky coincidences, times of doubt and times of bliss.

2019 - We Are Family
By David Bielander and Helen Britton
For the 50th independent German Jewellery symposium we want to reflect on how our field has changed in the course of half a century with particular focus on the people that have facilitated the development of what is now a burgeoning international community. While great makers are essential, the field wouldn’t be the same big happy family (;-) without those who have chosen to help connect it. And of course one of the greatest examples of the facilitation of connection is this symposium itself, organized independently by volunteers for 50 years! Lets celebrate that amazing feat and listen to others that are not only interested in making and looking at great art, but who are also facilitating the positive growth of our strange little niche.

2017 - Nourischment
By Rutger Emmelkamp, Merijn Bolink and Pieter Elbers
"Take your protein pills and put your helmet" what more do we need than this directive horn Ground Control to Major Tom in David Bowie 's "Space Oddity"? Carbohydrates, fat, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water are all we need to survive. Apart from sduations that Force us to look upon nutrition like that, we tend to search for better, new, different, exciting and the unknown. The kitchen is filled with cookbooks. New ingredents and combinations are explored. Popular cocking programs on TV, restaurants are booked a year ahead, the chef has become a star. Our minds want to be stimulated as much as a, taste buds do. But what feeds us as makers, designers and artists? Why do we go to our studio every day to make what we make? To draw, hammer and paint, produce, transform and shape? What are the sources we work from? Who inspires us? What fires us up and gets us going? And how does this becorne visible? A lot of information about artists can be found on Internet including images of their work.
In this year's edition of the Zimmerhof Symposium we asked the speakers therefore to not only show their work, but mainly to shed a light on their sources, their inspiration, and at feeds them in their practice. For four days we will dive into the different aspects of he meaning of "Nourishment". So there will be great food! As well for thought... This might be he last chance to experience he Zimmerhof Symposium at he fantastic location as you now it! As always the Zimmerhof Symposium will be a great opportunity to meet people, get informed, discuss and to have a good time.
Hope to meet you there.

2016 - HD Treasure
By Florian Milker, Annika Pettersson & Adam Grinovich
The theme for Zimmerhof 2016 “HD (or High Definition) TREASURE” combines an exploration into contemporary aesthetics with a classic theme of the secret and precious. We enter this theme through the perspective of remix culture, the agreement that everything has been done. But we are not satisfied with this assumption. We strive to discover the unique in emerging forms of expression. “HD” a new term, a term present in everyday life from the smartphones that we keep in our pockets, to the advertisements we see on public transportation, as well as in fine art installations and videos. HD: the new dominant aesthetic in contemporary life. HD TREASURE assembles a group of artists both working for and against this new paradigm, attempting to see the TREASURE through the lens of a means of expression still yet to be fully defined. | Treasure represents the pursuit of the glorious and valuable, a quest for a mythic capsule of value and heritage. Jewelry is inherently related to this concept, focused precious forms that are waiting to be discovered. Makers of jewelry embark on personal abstract journeys to discover themselves in materials. Critics and thinkers can draw lines within the field, creating sublime maps that trace a history of treasure making, treasure hiding, and treasure finding.
Programmers, designers, gallerists, and artists meet on an HD platform, the world wide web of information, a platform of infinite dimensions. Slick glossy screens broadcast HD images, miniature cameras record HD videos, complex algorithms create HD sounds, networks of computational power data-mine HD currency. This is not a dream: This is our reality. HD: absolute clarity; brilliant, defined, expressing all known dimensions, layers of color suspended in liquid crystal cells. | “HD TREASURE” investigates the combination of technology (both new and old) and its impact on aesthetics. Within these new forms are new emotions, new ways of seeing and feeling arising? Is this the future or a passing trend? Are we, as makers, thinkers, as sensitive beings approaching towards the divine? Or are we burying ourselves into an entropic abyss of information?

2015 - What is the Future of Jewellery?
By CURRENT OBSESSION - Contemporary Jewellery Magazine & Platform
As Contemporary Jewellery builds up the awareness of its identity, we may see growth of successful cross-disciplinary collaborations. By being placed in a wider context of today’s visual culture, Contemporary Jewellery can learn new strategies. We are curious about what may begin to happen when jewellery, art, design and fashion truly start to converge.
What are Jewellery’s Icons?
Icon is an ambiguous word simultaneously connoting a religious symbol loaded with historical and spiritual content, a flickering symbol on a computer desktop distilled and reduced in meaning, or an actual person – a rock star or a celebrity. Does Contemporary Jewellery have a system of symbols and signs connecting the past and the future? And if so, where do these symbols and signs belong: in a subculture, within the mainstream, or have they lost their cultural relevance? | What are the Icons of the Future?
We are interested in new attitudes, new types of projects and new personalities to explore this idea: join us to hear talks by exhibition makers, researchers, trend forecasters, artists and jewellers who have explored the challenges and the confines of their own disciplines.
With: Beatrice Brovia & & Nicolas Cheng, Adam Grinovich, Matylda Krzykowski, Mallory Weston, Rutger Emmelkamp, Lin Cheung, Nelly Zagury, David Bielander, Zachary Androus, Elvira Golombosi, Jing He, Florian Milker, Miro Sazdic, Pravu Mazumbar
2013 - UK: Mind Your Language
By Casey Fenn, Timothy Information Limited, Laura Bradshaw-Heap
This years symposium we will be exploring, questioning, pulling apart and putting back together, some of the
many issues facing the linguistics of jewellery today. Especially focusing on our communication with one another
and our different audiences.
What is the language of contemporary jewellery? No seriously, what is the language of art jewellery? Are you
reading this in English? Is English your second language? Are you American? Are you getting the gist so far?
Or are you reading the German translation? Is it accurate? I wouldn’t know, I’m afraid I don’t speak la Deutsch. I
mean, has every nuance, colloquialism and bad pun made it over in one piece? Blahdy blahdy blah blah. That
last sentace is sentance .I only put it in to test my translating friend.
But I can hear what you are saying. Surely the work is the language or the language is the work. So hey! Let’s all
sit around “Miss Piggy” by ‘Ted Noten’ and listen to what it’s got to say. Actually I’ve never seen “Miss Piggy” by
‘Ted Noten’ in the flesh. I’ve only seen photos of “Miss Piggy” by ‘Ted Noten’. It looks quite big. Oh, and I’ve read
what that French journalist had to say about it in the English translation of that article in that Swedish magazine.
What is the language of contemporary jewellery and is anybody listening? Come along to Zimmerhof and we’ll
have a good old chat about it!
English Tea will be served at 4pm daily (the frogs legs are off!)
2009 - Full of Facets
By Herman Hermsen, Sofia Beilharz, Phylicia Gilijamse, Maryvonne Wellen
With the theme “Full of Facets“ we would like to address to jewellery in all its diversity and richness. The symposium will be characterized by lectures from renomated jewellery artists and well-known designers who are specialized in contemporary jewellery and/or serie-design. Futhermore the program will contain theoretical
controversies and reflections.
New materials, innovative concepts and techniques like 3D modelling, rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing are going to be brought forward though presenting divers projects on this subject.
