Conversation Piece by Beatrice Brovia & Nicolas Cheng
The lecture is a personal reflection on making together with each other but also multiple others within and often well beyond the studio space. The material ground for this reflection, is offered by a selection of projects developed over the past eleven years through our ongoing artistic collaboration, Conversation Piece. We will discuss our collaboration as an artistic practice led by friction, whereby authorships blend together, response-ability is explored through jewellery, as well as the enfolding boundaries that connect place, bodies, and technological objects in a complex material world.
Conversation Piece, is a collaborative practice initiated in 2011 by artists Beatrice Brovia and Nicolas Cheng. Having both a background in spatial architecture and design prior to craft and jewellery, Brovia and Cheng look for the interrelations rather than the differences, among disciplines such as craft, architecture and design. Navigating systems and ways of being to investigate the agency of jewellery in particular.
Beatrice Brovia received a BSc in Interior Architecture from Politecnico di Milano, and an MFA in Jewellery and Corpus from Konstfack in 2009; since 2013 she has been teaching at Ädellab, Konstfack, where she is senior lecturer in jewellery and head of the Bachelor Program.
Nicolas Cheng graduated with a BA from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2006, and earned his MFA in Jewellery and Corpus from Konstfack in 2010. Cheng obtained his PhD in Fine Arts with specialisation in Jewellery and Crafts from the University of Gothenburg in 2019. Since 2022 he holds a professorship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Germany.
