About the exhibition:

The ILJ Museum’s Biennale for 2025 presents the recent work of over 80 contemporary studio jewelers. “Gates of Transition” forms a unique collective display of brooches created by established artists from Greece and around the world. Studio Jewelry becomes the means for displaying current trends in contemporary communities through the brooch, a diachronic jewel used for decorative and applied arts. Various materials, ideas and techniques are used into microsculptures that highlight the uniqueness and inventiveness that artists convey around the world.
