Non-Stick Nostalgia: Y2K Retrofuturism in Contemporary Jewelry highlights the work of twenty-nine international artists who explore the friction between the analog and the digital.

The world teetered on the fulcrum of the year 2000. In the naïve glow of the early Internet, promises of the future were dreamt up, drawn out, and wildly aestheticized. Buoyant and iridescent, virtual and galactic, a new visual reality infiltrated the era, making the future tangible.

The exhibition is curated by Kellie Riggs with the support of MAD Assistant Manager of Curatorial Affairs Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy. It was secured for the Museum by Assistant Curator Barbara Paris Gifford. Design consultation by Misha Kahn. Supported by Creative Industries Fund NL, the Consulate General of the Netherlands as part of the Dutch Culture USA program, The Immersive Experiences Lab at HP, the Rotasa Fund, the Consulate General of Sweden, and The American-Scandinavian Foundation.

I presented Wearing Space collection as well as Warped in collaboration with Lee Allen Kuczewski.
