Steel, Copper, Gold and Silver have functioned in currency, machines, and culture alike. Before the age of synthetic plastics, many household items were fashioned from metals. Metals are indispensable.
What to expect?
With the use of metals comes the cultural phenomenon of Heavy Metal. Whether you think of raging guitars or steampunk societies, metals hold a place in the heart that is not only physical. The heavy shaping and processing metal spawns an aesthetic and cultural niche, defined by the greasy shimmer of metallic objects. How humans could take an inconspicuous rock ore and create such a vast array of objects is what we aim to explore in our theme Heavy Metal. From the cult status of metal artists to the finest details in jewelry, we show you the breadth of the world of metal, encapsulating why it fascinates us to this day as a material.
