Sliced white bread. Here in Barcelona, we call it pan Bimbo, and we use it for biquinis. But you can’t order one by that name anywhere else: in Madrid, it’s a mixto. Bread, ham and cheese. And that’s as far as my knowledge of sliced bread goes. I need to travel more. Last Sunday, The Only True Protest Is Beauty, the first exhibition at the @fondazionedriesvannoten, closed. I took part with some of my largest pieces and with Glazed Trays, a project exploring ceramic processes and materials that I’ve been developing over the past few years. There was something special about arriving at Palazzo Pisani Moretta by water, seeing my pieces there, and eating what, for me, now sums up Venice: a tramezzino, a crustless white-bread Italian sandwich, soft, generously filled, and triangular. Thank you to the whole Fondazione team, especially Sabrina and Jurgen, for their generosity, and to Luis from @side.gallery. Being part of this project and having a tramezzino with Dries Van Noten and Patrick Vangheluwe is, to me, a kind of beauty I’ll never forget.

Gallery O (@galleryokorea_official) presents Systemagic, an exhibition introducing contemporary jewelry by Dutch artist Manon van Kouswijk (@manonvankouswijk), based in Australia, and Spanish artist Marc Monzó (@marcmonzo_ ). Both artists embody the essence of restrained minimalism through geometric forms and symbolic expression. Manon van Kouswijk is widely recognized for her necklace series that playfully deconstructs the form of the pearl necklace—one of humanity’s oldest forms of adornment—into a contemporary visual language. Working with everyday materials such as ceramics, wood, and plastic, she handcrafts each element, transforming familiar forms into witty and thought-provoking objects. In contrast, Marc Monzó refines the cool, industrial nature of metal to its purest state, creating works defined by essential lines, planes, and impeccably balanced proportions. His jewelry reveals a geometric aesthetic in which nothing more can be removed. Through the medium of jewelry, both artists bring humor and philosophy, structure and sensibility into the contemporary urban landscape. Their works offer a compelling perspective on the unique value and significance of contemporary jewelry today. Systemagic will be on view at Gallery O from June 25 to July 8.

[전시 소식] ❏ Systemagic ❏ 전시 기간 2026. 6. 25 - 7.8. ❏ 관람 시간 11-6시 월-토 (일요일 휴무) ❏ 오프닝 2026. 6. 25. 4-6시 * Manon van Kouswijk will be present. ❏ 전시 장소 갤러리오 @galleryokorea_official 서울시 중구 다산로 75 ❏ 참여작가 - Manon van Kouswijk @manonvankouswijk - Marc Monzo @marcmonzo_ 갤러리오는 아름다운 6월에 오랜 시간 깊은 교류를 이어온 두 명의 현대장신구 거장을 소개합니다. 호주를 기반으로 활동하는 네덜란드 작가 Manon van Kouswijk와 스페인의 Marc Monzó입니다. 두 작가는 기하학적 형태와 기호적 표현을 바탕으로 절제된 미니멀리즘의 정수를 보여준다는 공통점을 지니고 있습니다. 마논 반 카우스베이크는 도자, 나무, 플라스틱 등 일상적인 재료를 손으로 직접 빚어내며, 인류의 가장 오래된 장신구인 ‘진주목걸이’의 형태를 현대적인 기호로 위트 있게 해체한 목걸이 시리즈로 잘 알려져 있습니다. 반면 마르크 몬조는 금속이라는 차가운 소재를 극도로 정제하여, 더 이상 덜어낼 것이 없는 순수한 선과 면, 그리고 완벽한 비례의 기하학적 미학을 보여줍니다. 장신구라는 매개를 통해 유머와 철학, 구조와 감각을 동시에 드러내는 이들의 작업은 오늘날 현대장신구가 지닌 독창적인 가치와 의미를 깊이 있게 보여줍니다. 또한 이번 전시는 작가들의 신중한 실험성이 담긴 원오브어카인드(One-of-a-kind) 작업부터, 조형적 완성도를 바탕으로 한 이상적인 리미티드 에디션(Limited Edition)에 이르기까지 폭넓은 스펙트럼을 함께 선보인다는 점에서 큰 의미를 지닙니다. 특히 이들의 리미티드 에디션은 단순한 상품화의 결과물이 아니라, 작가의 조형 언어와 사고가 자연스럽게 확장된 또 하나의 작품 세계라는 점에서 주목할 만합니다. 마치 하나의 드로잉이나 스케치처럼 원오브어카인드 작업과 긴밀하게 연결되어 있으며, 작품의 본질을 유지한 채 더 많은 사람들과 만날 수 있는 동시대 현대장신구의 중요한 가능성을 보여줍니다. ❏ Copyright Ⓒ 2026. @galleryokorea All rights reserved. #systemagic #manonvankouswijk #marcmonzo #galleryO #contemporaryjewellery

It began four years ago, with a slab of clay and, with a gesture, lifted it onto four legs, transforming it into a tray: a defined space. What I understood as an accident, became an ongoing exploration guided by glaze, where the rectangle merely sets the boundaries and the real interest happens within them. “At the Fondazione, we have always been drawn to the poetry of the making process that delicate space where human intention surrenders to the unpredictable forces of nature. Xavier Mañosa’s work exists entirely within this beautiful, fragile intersection. In his practice, clay and glaze are not simply materials to be mastered; they are partners in a deeply emotional dialogue. There is an alchemy in Xavier’s approach that resonates profoundly with everything the Fondazione stands for. We share a devotion to the tactile, a fascination with how layered experimentation yields entirely new languages of color, and a deep reverence for the quiet beauty found in irregularity and the unexpected. This project, Glazed Trays, is a testament to the freedom found in constraint. By anchoring his work in the simple, geometric limit of the rectangle, Xavier opens up an infinite landscape of texture and emotion. Each piece is a unique record of survival. In the intense heat of the kiln, rigorous technical formulas are transformed into surfaces that feel startlingly alive, some brutal and heavy, others delicate, holding vivid glaze like suspended mercury. By slightly elevating these slabs, Xavier transforms them fromfunctional objects into sculptural gestures, inviting us to look more closely at the traces of his hand. We are deeply honored to support this publication and to welcome the se pieces into our space. This book is a beautiful archive of a four-year journey, an intimate glimpse into an artist's restless curiosity, and the profound joy that comes from embracing the unrepeatable.” Dries Van Noten @fondazionedriesvannoten @side.gallery all the Pictures by @jara_varela

EXHIBITION / 14 MAR 2026 - 12 APR 2026 House of Pearl at @bdesignhub in Shenzhen Within a space shaped by design, the House of Pearl contemporary works - marked by speculation and experimentation - encounter a new audience in Shenzhen. The exhibition’s content and narrative remain unchanged; what shifts is not the exhibition itself, but its relationship to the space in which it is temporarily situated.

This February, I traveled to Poland, where I gave three lectures on contemporary jewelry to the Belarusian community: with @ein.schrank who organised everything; in @koudra_events and @mit_space . Everything was organized by Darya @ein.schrank , a crazily energetic person ⚡️ We were brought together once by several shared interests: she specializes in niche perfumery (a field I’m deeply interested in), my mother supervised her diploma project at the conservatory (Darya is a conductor by education), and I feel that both of us are like children fascinated by something very specific and always eager to talk about it with everyone ✨ Darya suggested giving a lecture on color in perfumery and color in contemporary jewelry. I liked the idea of how we can search for a colour in a fragrance, something so ephemeral. I decided to present most of my talk related to colours as a series of riddles about unconventional materials used in the field. If white — then eggshell membranes, like in @alejandraferrerescobar work, or silicone, like in @monicataipina , or a soap as @danni.schwaag does. Of course, I also brought along a few books from my own collection♥️ And some of my very very precious pieces — from @tamart.no and Otto Künzli. I tried to do my best to explain that right here right now the audience witnesses some legends from contemporary jewelry field ♥️ The magic is when people see the real objects, and it could happened thanks to @galeria_tereza_seabra and @galeria.reverso galleries which gave me some pieces from their collections ♥️ All my love to Tereza and Paula ♥️ And of course jewellers who trusted me and gave their pieces, too ♥️ Special thanks to Maria @melkolapka for the beautiful photographs you see in this post (highly recommended! both the portraits and the object photography turned out poetic and stunning✨). It was cold, good, tasty, and mind/heart-blowing

Across millennia, pearls—with their soft, luminous glow, have accompanied the evolution of human culture. From ancient Asian legends to Mediterranean myths, they transcend geography to form a shared aesthetic language. Historically, pearls held layered meanings: symbols of elite status, authority, refinement, purity, and spiritual perfection. These overlapping identities reveal the material’s enduring symbolic power. Since the 20th century, with the rise of cultured pearls and global modernity, they have shifted from sacred and aristocratic contexts into popular culture, continually gaining new interpretations in fashion and expressions of personal identity. Today, pearls are no longer bound to traditional elegance. Contemporary jewelry artists explore them through fresh perspectives, as materials of identity, transformation, and even subtle rebellion. “House of Pearl” brings together ten artists to reimagine how this ancient material continues to shape contemporary narratives. If you are in Hangzhou, China, I would like to sincerely invite you to the exhibition opening. Opening: December 21 at 3:00 PM Duration: December 21, 2025 – March 3, 2026 Venue: 谢谢谢谢艺术空间Thanks Space Ground Floor, Block 1, Guodu Development Building, 182 Chaohui Rd, Hangzhou.
