Have you seen jewelry that is "not wearable"? 

Wearable or Not?: Interacting with Contemporary Jewelry investigates the notion of wearability and presents jewelry that challenge wearing -- some are performative, some interact with the wearer, some even restrict body movement. The exhibition responds to people’s curiosity on contemporary jewelry’s wearability; although the general public knows how to appreciate traditional jewelry, most people are unfamiliar with contemporary jewelry, which is a significant achievement in the evolution of jewelry that developed since the 1960s. The six artists in the exhibition explore contemporary jewelry as a medium of art expression, pushing the boundary of wearability and experimenting with non-precious material. Through creating an multi-sensory experience that allows visitors to touch and wear some of the jewelry, the exhibition aims to generate a dynamic dialogue between the artists and the public, and provide a new perspective to interpret contemporary jewelry as an art form.

The exhibition shows works from six artists, both international and Canada-based. The experience will be engaging and fun!
