Artists Now Lecture - Bruce Metcalf: The Semiotics of Jewelry University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts Date: Sep 30 2010 Time: 7:00 p.m. Location: Arts Center Lecture Hall, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus Region: Downtown Jewelry is inherently semiotic. That is to say, jewelry always carries a social message of some kind - about wealth and status, about seduction and desire, about personal narratives, and many other meanings. And yet, a formalist bias in design and art education has largely ignored the semiotic aspect of jewelry, at least until the rise of Post-Modernism. This lecture starts with a brief overview of semiotics, so the audience is familiar with basic terms and insights. Historical jewelry is then reviewed, showing the wide variety of signifieds traditionally attached to jewelry. The variety of traditional jewelry is then contrasted with the rather more restricted range of contemporary studio jewelry. About the artist: Metcalf uses wood, metal, plexi-glass and diverse techniques to create jewelry, sculptures, and wall relief. His whimsical yet restrained works comment on the human condition.

Acogny’s genius is to shape some of the most staggeringly beautiful traditional African dances into a fierce, up-to-the-minute work about the naked aggression of 21st century power politics.
