AFRICAN DOLLS
The Dulger Collection
|
| Whereas the Western world views dolls as children’s toys – apart from a few adults with a passion for collecting them – in South Africa dolls are part of a tribe’s cultural heritage. They are not toys but objects that are laden with associations and the ritual and religious beliefs of a community. African dolls are seen as mediators between the natural and the supernatural; they were created in a great variety of materials and used for ritual, spiritual and healing purposes. |

ART MEETS JEWELLERY
20 Years of Galerie Slavik, Vienna |
| The Viennese gallery Slavik has been exhibiting international contemporary jewellery art of the highest quality for 20 years. The rotating bronze disc above the entrance beckons the visitor to enter into a unique universe and into a singular architectonic design concept.
As a meeting place for artists, collectors and museum professionals from all over the world, it is the goal of the gallery owner Renate Slavik to provide a deeper understanding of the fascinating nature of contemporary jewellery art. Since 1990 the former antique dealer has supported unique, handcrafted jewellery with her enthusiasm and vision. |

FOTOSOMMER STUTTGART 2010 |
| Fotosommer Stuttgart, the now internationally established forum for contemporary photography began eight years ago as an exhibition project organized by committed photographers. As the largest festival in the German southwest of national and international renown it provides a survey of the current international photo scene as well as of regional tendencies. The award show of the festival encompasses a broad spectrum of works, ranging from artistic to documentary photography. From over 500 submissions for the international competition the jury chose the works of 31 photographers, including the three prize winners of the Südwestbank Fotosommer awards. The exhibition series “Fokus 0711” will display, under this year’s motto “Cult”, 24 different artistic positions that highlight the high quality and variety of photographic art in and around Stuttgart. |

GEORG DOBLER
Schmuck / Jewellery
1980–2010
Composition of Dreams
|
| Since the beginning of his creative work in 1980, Georg Dobler, the jewellery artist and lecturer at the University of Applied Arts and Science in Hildesheim, has engaged in working with geometrical forms. Also in the mid1980s, when he first drew on naturalistic elements, provoking an outcry in the jewellery world, his work was still bound by geometrical forms. It was exactly because naturalism was viewed as outmoded, however, that Dobler was viewed as a pioneer by the next generation of studio jewellery designers. |

HENKEL & GROSSE PFORZHEIM
100 Years of Passion for Grosse and Dior |
| The jewellery firm Süddeutsche Gold- und Haar-Bijouterie, founded in 1907 by Heinrich Henkel and Florentin Grosse, experienced its first successes with costume jewellery made of bronze, aluminium, wood, bakelite and galalite. Renamed Henkel & Grosse, the firm soon established its first business contacts to the US. In the early 1930s it began working with the fashion labels Lanvin and Schiaparelli in Paris as well as with Harrods in London and Saks in New York. The company was awarded the diplome d’honneur for their designs in 1937 at the “Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la vie Moderne” in Paris. Since 1955 Henkel & Grosse worked together with Christian Dior and for fifty years held a license to produce and distribute Dior jewellery worldwide. |

PASSION FOR MEISSEN
Marouf Collection
|
| The publication of the Said and Roswitha Marouf Collection focuses the viewer’s eye on the magnificent art works of the Meissen porcelain manufactory, which in 2010, on the occasion of its 300 anniversary, will celebrate the multifarious artistic wealth of the first European manufactory for porcelain. This book is not about the history of Meissen porcelain in the eighteenth century, which has been examined in numerous publications, but is rather a feast for the senses. The collection documented here provides a representative survey of the early creative period of the Meissen manufactory, especially in the area of painting, with outstanding works of art by Johann Gregorius Höroldt and his workshop. |

REFLEKTOR 3 // PLAY INSTINCT
Design Faculty Annual, 2010
University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Dortmund – Design Department
|
| Every designer understands the need to express himself, – and the obsessive desire to absorb and transform the surrounding environment in a creative manner. The play instinct is one of the many important formative elements in the transformation of a young craftsman into a designer.
REFLEKTOR 3, the assessment report of the media department of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Dortmund,
has devoted its current issue to the topic “play instinct”, in particular to creativity and its implementation. Chosen by an independent jury, the students’ outstanding works are presented in this volume – the highlights of the year in the creative disciplines of photography, graphic arts, object and interior design, film and camera.
