REVIEW
A Journey through Hearts + Flowers, at Brooklyn Metal Works
By Steven KP

In Hearts + Flowers, curated by Jessica Anderson and Leslie Shershow, jewelry and hand-held objects explore the topic or format of the souvenir in some way. The show's themes span collecting, heirlooms, the overlooked, markers of time, nostalgia, and the referential or personal object. Souvenirs, just like the moments they are meant to preserve, amass. How they are acquired and how effectively they can hold onto the sentiments they contain is a topic of inquiry across the whole exhibition. Why do we collect? What souvenirs do we value? What do we deem worthy of holding on to? What drives our desire toward objects, places, and memories? These are at the heart of the exhibition’s questions.

EVENT
Ripple Effect: A 25-Year Survey
November 10, 2021, 3 p.m. EST
 
Join us for a studio visit and discussion with Blanche Tilden and Katie Scott, of Gallery Funaki, about Tilden’s traveling exhibition, Ripple Effect: A 25-Year Survey.
 
Tilden plays with the forms of industrial modernity in impeccable works assembled from purpose-made glass and metal components. Often these are long sinuous chains that invoke the imagery of mass production. While they seem removed from human intervention, each part is lovingly crafted, and something of their emotionally remote perfection speaks of nostalgia for a mechanically ordered view of the universe.
