Party and Its Trinkets: Pieces of Thought* is an adapted version of Sille Luiga\u2019s solo exhibition TAKING DOWN: The Party and Its Trinkets, held in July at AnitiW Gallery in V\u00f5rumaa. The installation consists of wearable jewelry pieces made by Luiga using latex (milk of the rubber tree), pigments, aluminum, and silver, using techniques like molding, anodizing, and forging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The exhibition features works that are part of a larger whole. The whole itself may remain elusive to me, but its parts, shreds, and strips, what is missing and the excessive, are proof of its existence. Since 2020, I have been creating party-themed jewelry under the title Party Is Over.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Corpus art is contemporary jewelry and blacksmithing inspired by hollow objects, tableware, and decorative items. The artistic play lies in placing a chosen object into dialogue with its \u201cancestors\u201d and creating inspired by that conversation. Contemporary parties and their decorations can be viewed as a product of human creativity, continuously the latest \u2014 though never final \u2014 nuances are added.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A party is one of the ways to deal with excess. Of many possible approaches, one can choose the most fun. Parties are characterized by a slightly chaotic yet charming polyphony, a multi-voicedness accompanied by a benevolent indifference and people’s shared desire to enjoy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Taking down: What goes up must come down. Everyone knows that all parties end, yet this has never stopped anyone from starting another. In a party setting, many objects and activities carry contradictory messages. Birthdays are celebrated, yet the candle flame, symbolic for a life, is blown out\u2026 Elaborate decorations become mere trash within minutes, hours, or days\u2026 thus, all the party paraphernalia may at first seem absurd. Yet when one delves into the corpus world, there remains the possibility that balloons and ribbons are precious objects, representing the conflict between humans and time, and perhaps offering reconciliation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Sille Luiga (b. 1994) is a graduate of the Estonian Academy of Arts (MA in Design and Applied Arts, 2020). She has also studied contemporary jewelry in Italy and Belgium. Since 2015, she has worked as a freelance designer under the pseudonym Sile Luik. Working across disciplines and materials, Luiga is fascinated by the absurdities of decorative traditions and by what is considered beautiful, empowering, or valuable. The artist has exhibited in Estonia and abroad, including at design weeks in Singapore, New York, London, Paris, Valencia, and Venice. Her works are part of the permanent collection of the Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
