Jewellery, the Choice of...
Jewellery, the Choice of… is an ongoing project conceived to bring contemporary jewellery to people from cities across the Netherlands. The series started in Amersfoort in 1997, and for each edition 25 local residents are invited to the gallery to select a piece of work from the Marzee Collection. Photographed and interviewed about their choices, the portraits of these ‘ambassadors for contemporary jewellery’, alongside the jewellery itself, are exhibited in their local museum. A series of books documents each of the events across the Netherlands.
To date, the residents of Amersfoort, Nijmegen, Arnhem, Zwolle, Almere, Apeldoorn, Roermond, Schiedam, Gorcum and Kampen have participated in this unique project, as well as female MEPs from the European Parliament.
