Jewellery has existed since the dawn of humanity and yet, compared to other artistic fields, it is little studied. We all know what jewellery is, or at least we all have an image of it which, in reality, may not correspond to the more contemporary works of today's jewellery artists. The traditional approach focuses on jewellery made of precious materials and apparatus pieces, and much of what we know about ancient cultures comes from information about jewellery found in tombs.
But what are we talking about when we talk about jewellery? What is contemporary jewellery?

This short course is not intended to provide answers, but rather to provide information to think about. Contemporary jewellery, even though it has made radical cuts with tradition, is situated in a historical continuity that we cannot ignore and that every jewellery artist should be aware of. We will go through the history of jewellery from its origin, stopping at the dawn of contemporaneity, which will be the subject of another course. From the first pierced shells found in archaeological sites, to the beginning of the 20th century, we will try to observe the continuity but also the differences in jewellery and in humanity's relationship with it, the functions it fulfills, its relationship with the body and, above all, show many pieces, creating an iconographic record that will inspire us and help us in our work.

In the creative act, as in its reception, aesthetic experience tends to exceed the limits of perceptibility. Following the path of the philosopher Gilles Deleuze's transcendental empiricism, the course will approach this fact from the point of view of an aesthetics of the virtual as it can amplify the perception of forms through the forces that trigger, populate and express them. This course focuses on studying three main axes – sensation, space, and time – and establishing connections with other authors' different artistic processes and philosophical thoughts that support the meaning that crosses them. By following the future orientation that seems to define modern and contemporary art, the course also seeks to think about the potency of art in transforming the world.

Going back to the thread of myths and to the dream that unleashes fantasy events, whether in legends or in the narratives of the oldest children’s stories, we will now follow the theoretical and artistic clues that sustain them. In accordance with platonic theory, imagination is similar to fantasy, like a ghost, a simulacrum or a premonition that emerges in vision. Following legends, between Eros and Thanatos, the dream allows the spirit to wander through “blind visions”, or nightmares, accompanying corporeal metamorphosis, when waking life and reason cease to pay attention.
We will follow these mutations thoughout age old stories and images, from the dormants in mountains and caves, or sleeping beauties, to the nocturnal digressions of Little Nemo, until they start to move in Comic strips or in cinema.

Myths, legends and traditional stories are forms of things “seen”, even when never actually witnessed. They are rooted in the depths of the unconscious and of the tímeless memory kept in dreams. To illustrate means to bring something to light and is also a means to render visible what the letter kills.
A thread connects the most ancient initiatory evocations of entering adult life: the meaning of the nymphs and the wrath they provoque (as Roberto Calasso so aptly described), the enchantment and whirlwind that from Greco-Latin Antiquity nymphs moves on to the inspiring muses of artists, the sleep/dream of sleeping beauties, the meeting between boys, girls and animals, the metamorphosis that surface in young girls who are also animal.

“Letters that are not mailed cease to be missives for possible friends; they turn into archived things” (Peter Sloterdijk, 2000)*. The writings and testimonies of and about artists, in their most varied forms - diaries, letters, lessons and reflections - allow us to explore the theme of the creative process and its aesthetic and philosophical reflection, crossing in a non-linear way different generations, epochs and artistic movements (approaching the cases of romanticism, modernity, modernism, postmodernism and contemporary art). Instead of becoming “archived objects”, the writings become messages for their recipients and “possible friends”.

With less than a knife, sometimes with only the hands, the first objects of practical use or protection – con-tainer, adornment, amulet - came from the simplest matter.
These objects crossed all civilizations and their meaning is a well kept secret in the History of Humanity. From a plastic viewpoint, they attained perfection in times so old that, in many cases, not even writing ex-ists to describe them.
But they travelled through time, mixing the sacred and the profane, the erudite and the popular. The tech-nique was not lost, it was in fact perfected, to the point where technology needs ceramics as much as the potter that made a living of it.
Since nothing exists in isolation, we will bring out other materials and other arts and allow the thread of stories to be the potter’s wheel, and the images created by hand or evoked by the shamans to become con-temporary installations full of mystery, with the most “povera” of arts.
