F-1: A Contemporary Jewelry Exhibition

F-1 Opening Reception
Saturday May 3rd, 6-9 pm
In the Gallery at 
Brooklyn Metal Works

F-1 represents the visa status that all foreigners must procure to study in the United States. The purpose of the F-1 exhibition is to showcase work produced by foreign-born artists that were educated in the United States under an F-1 visa status.

F-1 will include the work of ten artists who have come to the United States from all corners of the world, including Belgium, South Africa, China, Korea, Germany, Colombia, Venezuela, and Japan. Their work, from aesthetics to materials (wood, concrete, porcelain, paper, fabric), is as diverse as their backgrounds. These individuals’ work combines the methodologies taught in United States schools with cultural references and art traditions that they identify with from home.

Artists:

David Choi, Alexia Cohen, Yoshie Enda, Hana Hong, Manuela Jimenez,
Jina Seo, Katja Toporski, Ariane Van Dievoet, Lane Vorster, Leeyeon Yoo
 

F-1 is curated by Platforma, a curatorial initiative launched by Bella Neyman and Ruta Reifen.
 

F-1 will be on view May 3 - June 27
