ARTICLE
A Remembrance

Valeria Vallarta Siemelink was a dedicated champion for awareness of Latin American jewelry and design internationally. She passed away in May.

From 2003 through 2006, Valeria successfully organized a number of smaller and larger exhibitions in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. In 2010, she organized a five-day symposium called Gray Area in her native Mexico City. It had around 40 speakers and many panel discussions. There was a main exhibition, Walking the Gray Area. It paired 20 Latin American jewelry artists with 20 European jewelers. The event had an extraordinary effect and successive echoes on so many participants. Valeria will be missed by many and warmly remembered. Her success in showing the contemporary Latin American jewelry community paths and openings to a wider stage will be part of her legacy.

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.
