Conceptual Jewellery from New Zealand
CODA, Apeldoorn, The Netherlands
11 August - 9 December 2007

'The exhibition title Jewellery Out of Context (JOC) reveals the curatorial position and the curators’ quest for ideas that re-appraise, reconsider and extend the field of jewellery. This exhibition asks its artists to examine the ‘jewellery phenomenon’, and the surrounding discourse and to reappraise it through the process of creative interrogation, intervention and ‘re-contextualisation.’ Peter Deckers (Curator)

This exhibition includes a number of conceptual necklaces by Catharine Hodson which were originally part of the installation Touching the Unthinkable, shown at the Suter Te Aratoi o Whakatu, Nelson, New Zealand between 13 May and 9 July 2005.
