Budapest Jewelry Week , a large-scale contemporary jewelry exhibition featuring the works of international artist stars that emerged from the Night of Jewelry, awaits visitors from August 28 to September 12 in the György Ráth Villa , a fantastic Art Nouveau palace belonging to the Museum of Applied Arts.
In connection with the exhibition, we spoke withFruzsi Fekete and Zsófi Bíró about contemporary jewelry, artworks, and the background behind the realization of the exhibition, which is also exciting because the organizers - Zsófi Bíró, Fruzsi Fekete, Kinga Horányi, and Nóra Tengely - are all jewelry design artists. The content of the exhibition lists the works of artists they consider role models, hence the title of the exhibition, IDOL .
We had the honor of being the first to see the exhibition guided by Fruzsi and Zsófi, and the resulting audio material was edited from the guided tour and the subsequent conversation.
