In Gallery BB Wroclav are on show young Hungarian designers Noémi Gera, Ágnes Havrán, Ildikó Göntér. Exhibition is open from 7.07.09 till 6.09.09.
Summer, sun. Summertime!…
High heels, plunging necklines, bare backs. A purse slung carelessly over the arm, a giant turquoise ring on one finger. A necklace of woven string with a big lily circle. A bracelet resembling a CD that’s bent and cut in half. Eccentric, very sexy. Noémi Gera.
She loves reds and violets. She laughs loudly. She needs almost two hours for her morning make-up. Summer, sun. Summertime!…
Comfortable shoes, pants, shirt. Your favorite muted browns, yellows and greens. Collected and focused when at work. Ágnes Havrán and Ildikó Göntér.
They are graduates of the MOME, Moholy-Nagy University of Craft and Design, in Budapest. They have never worked together before.
Noémi Gera makes jewelry out of paper, aluminum, ribbon, furs, and synthetic materials. Sometimes out of silver. She takes ‘usual’ materials and makes unusual objects. Astonishingly beautiful.
Ágnes Havrán designs purses. Combining colored leather with synthetic materials. Every purse is one-of-a-kind.
Refined jewelry. And classic feminine purses. How to display them side by side?
Ildikó Göntér, a ceramics artist and designer, links these seemingly disparate worlds. Using the ceramic stones and sand-colored clothes-hangers she designs and produces, she creates original exhibition designs. She sets the necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings on small plates of glass, protruding from cut stones. The purses hang on the clothes hangers. This builds a space in which the stones and the hangers are also the subject of the exhibition – as much as Noemi’s necklaces or Agnes’s purses.
“The most important thing in our work is imagination!” Noémi Gera, Ildikó Göntér and Ágnes Havrán all agree.
It’s “Summertime” – come to BB Gallery.
