For the next couple of months, AJF's interview team will take you on a trip that spans the globe to connect you with some of the wide variety of galleries that support AJF's program of interviews, articles, and reviews. There might be some familiar faces in the mix and, we hope, some new people that you haven't had the pleasure to cross paths with, at least not yet.

In this newsletter, meet Rita from Alternatives Gallery in Rome, Bella from The Gallery at Reinstein|Ross in New York, and Miwha from Gallery O in Seoul and keep an eye out for more interviews to come.

AJF shares the wide world of contemporary jewelry, quite literally, by bringing the stories of these international galleries to subscribers to our newsletter--people like you! These interviews, like all of AJF's interviews, are archived on our site, publicly accessible to artists, students, r esearchers--any and all appreciators of jewelry, really--to learn, make connections, and understand the different ways that contemporary jewelry is made, worn, and displayed. We hope you will consider supporting our efforts by making a donation.

BRIEFING

MADE TOGETHER:

Thrills and Pangs of Participatory Jewelry

by Benjamin Lignel

...[t]he notion of "participation" continues to loom large in cultural programs around the world, in all artistic fields: It ties in nicely with institutional outreach programs, finds its way up into policy making (as a way to dump part of the social bill onto the artist's lap), and into the lingo of web 2.0 users. This general, diffuse interest is my alibi: I care, because jewelers' ventures into participation are embedded in a much larger cultural zeitgeist.
