TRIPLE PARADE 2016Dialogue across You and Me to Them:

Creator, Wearer, Viewer.

Tianjin SHENGXI Museum of Fine Arts & GAUGUIN Gallery Beijing10th November 2016 - 17th January 2017

The TRIPLE PARADE 2016 international annual exhibition as a cultural exchange which is expanded between China and the rest of the world on a multitude of level, devoted to the hardcore awakening in jewellery design, with a very open and contemporary-oriented approach by focusing on the concept of dia-loguing. Here, a great deal of extraordinary togetherness has occurred on the TRIPLE PARADE, which is wholly devoted to an important group of people who engage with contemporary art, design and culture in a fascinating way. This aim of TRIPLE PARADE strengthening the international profile of the jewellery de-sign sector and contributes to activities through: Innovation and Deepening of Knowledge, Broadening of International Relations, Stimulating Public Interest.

Established in 2013, has an attendance today of three successful editions, it is principally organized by TRIPLE PARADE Organization Committee ( office in Amsterdam, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai ), and often consisting in a diverse pro-gram by collaboration and cooperation with leading institutes and invitation of outstanding individuals, to create the platform and advocate for the field inter-nationally. The pervious themes are: TRIPLE PAPRADE 2015 – Dialogue across Three Countries, TRIPLE PAPRADE 2014 – Dialogue across Three Generations. This year, the term Dialogue across You and Me to Them: Creator, Wearer, View-er in our theme is vitally important marks the notion of social interaction. We believe that the significance and multiple capacities of the dialogue mark have not been truly recognized. Each of the three roles in a dialogue, which are brief-ly introduced in the plate sections devoted to them, addresses one perspective on how “ Dialogue” plays a progressive position in the contemporary jewellery design of our period. Jewellery examines how we define self, integration and segregation, the means used for communication - and how these issues are re-flected in creative work.
