“Fotocopy” Exhibition

Ed. Varie

This event has ended.

Ed. Varie present Fotocopy, a special exhibition of 18 American and International cult jewelers and artists.

In today’s world of aesthetic URL personas, image saturation and sleeper-cell trends, a “new idea” has now become a fresher mash-up of two or more things you’ve seen before. Copy, make new, copy again to infinity. Finding the sweet spot between uniqueness and belonging is a pressurized, nihilistic pursuit. But that doesn’t stop us. When we get it right, it feels good, although at times, maybe all too fleetingly. FOTOCOPY makes the case for allowing that feeling to last. Jewelry, refreshing and familiar, embodies where we think we belong, capturing identity and realness, and our ever-shifting understanding of who we are.
