I entered the world of contemporary jewelry by chance. I am interested in this language that has the body as its carrier, that relates directly to the user and that is loaded with content. <\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

I make jewelry pieces that tell stories and that \u201cadorn\u201d but that, at the same time, seek to question and interpellate, turning the user in some cases into a militant.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A dialogue between the works of jewelry artists Mercedes Castro Corbat and Cecilia Capisano from Argentina, Rita Soto and Vania Ruiz from Chile, Ana Calbucci and Mayumi Okuyama from Brazil.<\/p>

\u201cA large mycelium formed by unique tongues that connect by underground channels and emerge in a lush garden of delights. It works like dormant spores waiting for favorable conditions to latch onto the soil and germinate. Fables as escape strategies, to recover the core of the vital drive, desire, imagination and affection, Mutar.\u201d<\/p>

Malba store presents the new collection of necklaces by Designer Mercedes Castro Corbat that are based on images of the architecture of Buenos Aires. Each reversible necklace tells a story from the intervened photos of four points of the city and its buildings and conics: the Malba museum, the zoo, Barrancas de Belgrano, and the corner of Suipacha and Arroyo. In the words of the Designer: with this project I realize the landscape as a shaper of our gaze.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
