Foreign Bodies
Business Overview
In conjunction with Schmuck Woche 2026, which attracts participants from all over the world, a group exhibition of contemporary jewelry entitled "Foreign Bodies" was held. In this project, in addition to the exhibition of the works, we took up incidental elements that are not visible in the space, and created a pocket dictionary by editing the participants' texts as "definitions". All participants had lived abroad, and artists Meeree Lee, Yumiko Matsunaga, Joohee Han, Saika Matsuda, Makiko Mitsunari, Sawa Aso, and Danni Chen, as well as curator Jianling Zhang and book artist Hyewon Jang, presented their perspectives on Foreign Bodies.
