LithoMania
Rare stones—whether part of a collection or processed into small sculptures and jewels—have fascinated people for thousands of years. They trigger longings and even prompt criminal activity. Their extraction causes bloody conflicts, but at the same time the trading and processing of stones brings together people from the most remote regions of the world. In LithoMania students at the Idar-Oberstein Campus confront these ambivalent imperatives. As part of the exhibition series Design Lab at the Kunstgewerbemuseum [Museum of Decorative Arts] in Berlin, the students present their deliberations on this profound material in objects, drawings, photographs, and texts. The sketch-like documentation visualises the process and restores a lightness to the material that enables new approaches and a freedom of artistic expression.

Three students - Natascha Frechen, Constanza Salinas, Luisa Werner - and one graduate - Felicia Mülbaier - have jointly produced a book. Initially intended as an accompanying brochure for "Parcours de Bijoux 2020", it has grown into a beautiful catalogue that documents not so much the results as the working situations and intermediate stages. The documented "jauntiness" thus refers to the bliss of creation, to the moments of realisation of the good in becoming.

ROCKStars Idar-Oberstein
ROCKSTARS FROM IDAR-OBERSTEIN
On 05.11.2020 the curtain will rise for the ROCKSTARS from the department of Gemstones and Jewellery at Campus Idar-Oberstein in the showroom of the family business Robert SCHÜTT Witwe in Pforzheim. The setlist includes 50 hits and new releases by the alumni and students from the last five years. This book is the accompagnying catalogue to this exhibition.
At Campus Idar-Oberstein, newcomers to the jewellery scene have dedicated themselves with body and soul to the intensive investigation of gemstones. Idar-Oberstein, at the same time world trade center for gemstones of all kinds and place of study in a certain seclusion, is for the students the rehearsal room, in which they break existing structures and develop progressive designs. As ROCKstars, students and alumni stage contemporary pieces of jewellery that not only show the material gemstone in unexpected and unconventional applications, but at the same time redefine elements of a centuries-old gemstone aesthetics and are thus socially positioned

ThinkingJewellery Two reports on the different perspectives of our quest for a "theory of jewellery“. The series "ThinkingJewellery" arose from the symposium series of the same name in which purely specialist jewellery expertise is deliberately integrated only sporadically and exemplarily – as well as in these books. Instead, scientists who look at the phenomenon "jewellery" from the outside will have their say. Then only an interdisciplinary approach makes it possible to determine the position of jewellery within the context of art and design within our contemporary society.
ThinkingJewellery Two offers, besides a contribution by Wilhelm Lindemann on the historical development of the crystalline, an essay by Regine Prange on the factual but also content-related reflections in the work of van Jeff Koons and its relations to Andy Warhole as well as an essay by Olaf Müller, he introduces thoughts on Goethe's work relating to physical phenomena.

Gemstones have always been, since time immemorial, heavily charged with meanings, have even been regarded as magical objects. For that reason they have also become an art medium since the early modern age and have shaped as art symbols – in the form of the crystal – both Romanticism and Modernism, for example in the works of Caspar David Friedrich, Lyonel Feininger and many more. In the latter half of the twentieth century, not only have such artists as Bernd Munsteiner, Ute Eitzenhöfer and Bernhard Schobinger rediscovered the gemstone; through the Hochschule für Edelstein und Schmuck Trier/Idar-Oberstein and other similar specialist institutions it is also undergoing a revival in today’s art production – right up to Damien Hirst. This publication spans an arc from stone-cutting in the early modern age to the (gemstone) art of the twenty-first century. A large section devoted to illustrations – featuring art historically important works – encompasses the diversity of contemporary positions for the first time.
With essays by Wilhelm Lindemann, Idar-Oberstein, Regine Prange, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt a. M. and Paulus Rainer, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, Vienna
