Shelf Life shows work by 33 makers, staff and students of Central Saint Martins, BA Jewellery Design course. Showing for the first time at Vitsoe in Munich, this is the second project where staff and students display work as equals in a celebration of the diverse and lively approach to contemporary jewellery and objects. Within the breadth of possibilities, the common thread of the course is using materials and objects imaginatively and expressively in response to observations, emotions and situations.

The concept of Shelf Life is apt for this exhibition, in that it is located within the shelves of the Vitsœ showroom. Using the relationship between the shelf space and the jewellery placed on it reflects on issues of temporality and endurance.
To shelve means to put something aside, to discard, to remove from everyday use. In contrast, we use shelves to display, as a way to draw attention to and highlight things of importance. What do we keep on our shelves? How long do we keep them there? How does the shelf life affect the thing produced? What is life like to live on the shelf? What is life beyond the shelf? Are just some of the questions we can ask.
Some of the work displayed has been made in response to projects, some self-motivated, and some in response to the idea of shelves.
