Two jewellery notices: JMGA in Adelaide and Kruger in Melbourne


inside out: JMGA 2008 Conference: FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
13th Biennial Conference of the Jewellers and Metalsmiths Group of Australia, Adelaide


inside out will build on the momentum of previous JMGA conferences and explore jewellery and object making inside the Australia, Asia and Pacific region and outside the conventions of mainstream practice. The conference will bring together practitioners, educators, collectors, critics and cultural theorists for three days of discussion, debate, interaction and the exchange of ideas.


Conference papers are sought on jewellery and object making in the Australia, Asia and the Pacific region under the following four themes:




  • cross cultures exploring regional, ethnic and indigenous approaches to practice




  • culture of the body looking at the body as a site and/or subject for representation, performance, fashion and movement;




  • cultural sites investigating personal, public and institutional perspectives on objects and practice;




  • techno culture engagements with technologies new and old.




Submissions addressing these themes are invited by way of abstracts for papers.
