In my lecture I would like to look at performative aspects in some of my works. In the performances “Jewellery Hunt with Blowpipe”, for example, the viewer is essentially involved in the creation of a piece of jewellery. In this case, the jewellery object is both a target and a shield. The social value of this piece of jewellery will therefore always be of central importance to the wearer.
Gisbert Stach: ABOUT HUNTING AND COLLECTING
About Lecture
Gisbert Stach
Starting from jewellery and its proverbial timelessness, Gisbert Stach experiments with processes of transformation, transience, as well as revaluation: pieces of jewellery are worked into asphalt, dissolved in acid, used as targets in knife-throwing performances.
Ground amber serves as pigment to give brooches the deceptively real look of schnitzels. In his many years of working as a silver and goldsmith, Gisbert Stach has broadened the term jewellery to other media such as photography, video and performance. (arnoldsche art publishers).
