an exhibition of enamel works curated by Elizabeth Turrell (UK), Beate Gegenwart (Germany/UK) and Melissa Cameron (Australia/USA).
The artists who were involved in Heat Exchange 1 were:
The original Heat Exchange exhibition was invited to Scottsdale, Arizona, to coincide with the SNAG (Society of North American Goldsmiths) National Conference in Phoenix in 2012. The exhibition was on display at Shemer Art Center & Museum (5005 East Camelback Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85018, Tel: (602) 262-4727) from the 3rd of May until the 30th of May, 2012.
After closing in Arizona, the exhibition then travelled to Erfurt, Germany, where it was on display at the Kunstmuseen der Stadt Erfurt, Galerie Waidspeicher im Kulturhof Krönbacken from Saturday the 30th of June until the 12th of August, 2012.
* these artists are also featured in Heat Exchange: Volume 2
This sight is an inspiration and a fantastic research tool for me as I am specialising in enamel on the Multi Disciplinary Printmaking MA at UWE. As I am now in my final year how can I become involved as I would very much like to share my research into printmaking techniques and enamel, also the support of others using progressive enamel techniques would be invaluable when I leave the confines of the university?
Hi Sue, thanks for the love! We’re currently closed for participants, as the deadline is now looming for our upcoming show in Arizona at the SNAG conference, which we will post more about shortly. In the mean time keep checking back or add us to your reader list as I get the feeling that some of the makers are just warming up (ahh, excuse the bad pun.) Feel free to comment on any post that does take your interest, as we are all keen to further the conversation about enamelling. xx Melissa
Loving the blog..look forward to the SNAG show, great to have this for our field. Thanks so much! Jan Smith in Canada
Thanks Jan! I look forward to meeting you there. xx Melissa
I have really enjoyed the snippets you have shown of the Snag show, it would be great to see the work in situ in more detail as I will not get the opportunity to get out to Arizona.
