Silver
Silver is more than a shiny metal; this exhibition uses it in artworks crafted by two sets of hands.
Overview
Silver is everywhere. It’s in the coins we hold, the jewellery we wear and in your Grandmothers expensive tableware. Silver indicates wisdom; silver bullets kill werewolves, being called a Silverfox is a compliment to some and it is just a cool colour. But what else can silver represent?
The Museum of Brisbane is hosting a brand new exhibition showcasing various artworks that use the precious metal in a way that expresses new and historical meanings of silver. Iconography, historical influence, cultural influence and social influence are all examined by six parings of individuals who work together on a piece of silver artwork.
Each duo, comprised of a photographer and an artisan jeweller have crafted pieces out of silver for this exhibition which runs until April next year. That is plenty of time to examine these timeless works made out of a timeless and important metal.
