Ted Noten - Incubators Press Release

Ornamentum is thrilled to welcome Ted Noten to the gallery for the exhibition of Incubators Vol. 2 (and other artifacts).  

 

Ted Noten is an artist and jewelry designer who lives and works in the Netherlands. His work acts as a critique on contemporary life and on the history of jewelry, as well as on the wider context of product design. The underlying, recurring, theme of his work is to challenge convention and processes of habituation, the familiar and the unusual. 

 

Noten is represented in a range of international galleries, museums and private collections, including ARCO (PT), F.N.A.C. (FR), Hiko Mizuno Jewellery College (JP), LACMA (US), Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum (US), Metropolitan Museum of Art (US), National Museum of Arts, Architecture and Design (NO), Neue Sammlung-Design Museum (DE), The Stedelijk Museum (NL), and Victoria and Albert Museum (UK). He exhibits regularly and is slated for a 2024 solo exhibition at Museum Jan (NL) and a major overview exhibition at the Arnhem Museum of Art (NL) in 2025.

 

Ornamentum has represented Ted Noten since 2006, featuring the artist in 5 solo exhibitions in the gallery and at the international design fairs over the past 17 years.  Ornamentum's debut at Design/ Miami (2008) featured a full-booth installation solo exhibition of Ted Noten.

Incubators Vol. 2 (and other artifacts)

 

In the new solo exhibition, Ted Noten: Incubators, the Dutch artist continues the
exploration of visual and conceptual language that has defined his career. Presented by Ornamentum Gallery, it opens on July 22 and will be on view until August 13, 2023.
Noten has never considered there to be a separation between the fields of fine art and conceptual jewelry; he considers both as, essentially, content and language. Internationally recognized for his playful and unconventional influence on the field of contemporary jewelry, the artist uses this medium as a devious tool. It is a means to seduce his audience, drawing them in until its provocative message is unavoidable. Noten attacks convention, using jewelry as his weapon.


Ted Noten: Incubators includes twelve necklaces from the artist’s new body of work. Each is inspired by individuals, historical and also fictional, whom Noten considers ‘incubators’: 7 Angels, Bach, Calamity Jane, Charles Bukowski, Leonardo da Vinci, For Whom I Love, Friedrich Nietsche, Gandhi, Jack Kerouac, Onno Boekhoudt & Otto Künzli, Sigmund Freud, and Spock. There will be twenty-seven works in total when the series is complete. These are tributes to his ‘icons’, made in much the same way as the Romans would recognize people of influence by adorning them in wreaths. 

 

In addition to Incubators, the exhibition will feature a number of other Ted Noten "Artifacts", a selection of his iconic acrylic embedment sculptures, objects and jewelry pieces.
