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.
But what are we talking about when we talk about jewellery? What is contemporary jewellery?
We will travel in the world of contemporary jewellery organizing our journey in a thematic fashion. We will get to know some of the major artists in today’s jewellery, always trying to illustrate our quest with a great variety of works and establishing bridges with other artistic areas.

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 – space, time and creation – 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.

With Dr. artist the senses got spiritualized and poetic painting went from mythology to philosophy. In the Netherlands, the pictor vulgaris could also be a tavern keeper and even the still lifes went from vanitas to delicious delicacies. French style, gallantry was delicate as a porcelain, got drunk in vapours and perfumed the atmosphere. Music wanted to be painting and painting had synesthesia – Symbolism combined everything, while Impressionism got rid of literature. In an instant, the moving image was already simulated well beyond tableaux vivants and panoramas. The only thing missing was for psychoanalysis to combine with surrealism and for the latter to enter cinema. Dissonance would take Kandisky’s painting-rhythm to the limit until the destruction of rules was the motto. Silence would eventually arrive, just as in happenings girls would be licking marmelade from a car’s hood. Through the interstices we were left with fun, irony and the pastiche in postmodern quotes - “let’s look at a trailer”.

“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”.
