OPEN SPACE - MIND MAPS pursues the current development in art jewellery that is positioned far from the merely decorative in the aesthetic and artistic discourse of our era. Thirty international artists present their works in this publication, which is arranged thematically by the buzzwords inhabiting current trends, such as the nomadic aspect, art as field research, and the tendency towards narrative imagery and provocation that infringes on the boundaries of our discipline. All these facets as open-ended chapters illustrate the iconographic focus of each of these protagonists from across the world.
