Gallery Loupe for Contemporary Art Jewelry
50 Church Street, Montclair, NJ
February 9 - March 16, 2010
"No Problem (?)" addresses the tension that exists between the monumental problems of the State of Israel and the "flippant" jargon of everyday speech that often seems to belie these problems. This exhibition brings together the outstanding talent of contemporary studio jewelers. "NO PROBLEM (?)" is curated by Deganit Stern Schocken - a leading force in the field of Contemporary Art Jewelry, one of Israel's most important studio jewelers and a Bezalel alumna.
