Göran Kling Swedish goldsmith with a Bachelor Degree in Contemporary Jewellery from Konstfack in Stockholm. He is currently finishing the Master Degee CRAFT! also at Konstfack. He has worked with jewellery in diffrent ways spanding from fashion to art and education.
-I have a background in traditional jewellery and an education in Jewellery Art. I work with jewellery in classical fashion through a crititical perspective. I like jewellery in its most simple form, the stereotype of jewellery. To create new value by mimicing established value is maybe the oldest trick in the game of jewellery. I like massproduced jewellery becouse it is so easally understood. The traditional devide between real jewellery and fake jewellery, based on material, makes the line between referent and reference blurry. However the concept of value in conection to aesthetics becomes vivid when only material seperates copy from original. I think about jewellery as a meme where value is understood through a collective idea around preciousness and desirability.
