ANIMAVIENNA is a group of six independent art jewellers, whose work reflects their diversity. The individual members are unique in terms of their art and concepts. They share a common belief in artistic cooperation, exchange and endeavour, as well as a firm commitment to craftsmanship. MORE…
The very qualities that enable the members of the group to appreciate similar aspirations in others permit them to translate their own emotions and intuitions into a compelling and distinctive art form. The group is aware of the different traditions and factors at play in modern art jewellery and seeks to go beyond the confines of adornment.
The very essence of the group’s work is rooted in a quest for new forms of expression commensurate with the world in which we live and the realities of modern society. Art thus becomes a reflection of societal diversity. Akin to all other art forms, art jewellery reveals not only the current stage and continuity of its genesis, with all its fissions and fractures, but also the utopias to which it aspires.
Independent of fashionable trends and art movements, ANIMAVIENNA focuses on the basic concept of jewellery and the pleasure it affords. The manner in which the members design and develop their jewellery is clearly shaped by their personalities as artists and each contains a personal message. All the members bring their special skills to bear and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
In a globalised world that makes ever-increasing demands of the individual, the significance of creative artists as transmitters of cultural values in their encounters with people of the most diverse origins, with different approaches to life and life styles, cannot be overstated. Given its body-related individuality, this holds particularly true for art jewellery.

Jura Golub
In my work, I seek to present my concept of beauty and aesthetics, while maintaining my own specific artistic identity
Throughout my life I have always wanted to make jewellery
MORE…
Throughout my life I have always wanted to make jewellery:
a desire that I was able to fulfil at the Technical College for Metal Design in Krasnoe on the Volga where I graduated in 1987.
My first exhibitions were in the Soviet Union in such places as Moscow, Volvograd and Kostroma. On moving to Austria in 1990, I continued to show my work abroad: in Germany, the United States and Spain.
Since 2012 I have been living and working in Spain. Articles on my work have appeared in Kunsthandwerk (2002), while examples of my work have featured in New Rings (2011) and Art Jewelry Today: Europe (2014), as well as in a book for teachers entitled Maker Magic (2014).

Jewellery is both a reflection of our character and an expression of the period in which we live
The impact of a piece of jewellery should not be determined by the materials used, but by the care invested in its making and the emergent design.

The impact of a piece of jewellery should not be determined by the materials used, but by the care invested in its making and the emergent design.
MORE…Contemporary jewellery must be more incisive and flexible than in the past. On that basis, I strive to design jewellery that both complements the ever-changing shifts in fashion and allows the wearer to adapt the piece to her heart’s content.

My work is marked by the playful manner in which body and form are treated
At the same time I also work in different subject areas such as dance, movement, the art of folding such as origami and its application to metal, as well as nature and the environment.

At the same time I also work in different subject areas such as dance, movement, the art of folding such as origami and its application to metal, as well as nature and the environment.
MORE…In my work I place emphasis on sculptural jewellery that can also serve as mementos or objects conducive to self-identification. By virtue of its portability and innate movement, jewellery permits shifts in perspective.
Gerti Machacek served her apprenticeship as a goldsmith with Hans Muliar and studied history of art at the University of Vienna.
Since1981 she has been working as a freelance artist and has participated in many national and international exhibitions, inter alia:
1987 | Europalia | Brussels, Belgium |
1993 | Neue Ringe | Museum Bellerive, Zurich, Switzerland |

Motivation, a story and the wish to lend it form. Leading to a new beginning: a dialogue between the object and the beholder
In the work of goldsmiths I discover many familiar features reminiscent of Chinese painting. The brushstrokes, the rhythm of the painting and the nuances of the ink are to be found in the design, execution and surface designs.

>My jewellery lends an additional distinctive touch to female self-assurance - thus giving rise to a sense of well-being.
MORE…Why the fragments? Without a woman, the wearer and her beauty, my work would be fragmentary and incomplete.
Generosity, fantasy and erotic radiance are all intrinsic features of jewellery. Without the person wearing it, jewellery is incomplete. Regardless how often and whatever the occasion, only on the body does the cycle that usually begins with a sketch and the selection of material run its course. The creative process follows both the artistic ideas and the craftsmanship of the jeweller. It bears his imprint: that of an artist who in an eccentric manner blends luxury and aesthetics in precious materials. In a blaze of new ideas, art takes on a form of its own in Florian Wagner's exclusive modern art jewellery for individualists.
Born in Berlin, Florian Wagner came into contact with craftsmanship through his father, Hans Wagner, who had taken over from his father, August Wagner, the famous workshops for mosaics and stained glass. The mosaics in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin stemmed from those workshops, as did the mosaics at the Union Terminal in Cincinnati and the frieze in the lobby of the Rockefeller Centre in New York, as well as the mosaics in the Golden Hall in Stockholm, to mention but a few
In 1969 Florian Wagner completed his apprenticeship as a goldsmith in Berlin. He left Europe and took up residence in Johannesburg in South Africa, where he stayed until 1973.
He was fascinated by the extraordinary range of minerals and gems in the southern hemisphere. Even today they have a major influence on his work.
Florian Wagner moved to Vienna in 1973. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and ten years later he established the Galerie Mana which, up until 1989, was an important forum for contemporary art.. The encounter with contemporary art and music inspired him to adopt an extensive design vocabulary, which manifest itself in his silverware, viz. his Teapot for Two (Silver Triennale 1991/92) and his participation in the exhibition Diagonal - Design from Austria during the Expo 1992.
In 1997 the austere and yet expressive aesthetic of Japanese art lent stimulus to a series entitled Exotic pieces of Jewellery. Based on that experience Florian Wagner's work underwent a shift: a return to a formal design language and materials that he had long neglected.
In 1998 Florian Wagner opened a shop in the centre of the city that he had to close seven years later when a new landlord changed the terms of the lease.
In 2006 he re-opened Galerie Mana where he put on exhibitions of his own work and set up a forum for his colleagues active in the field of art jewellery.
Each autumn, ever since 2011, the gallery has hosted an annual cycle of six house concerts known as The New House Concert, curated in partnership with Oscar Aichinger.
Over many, many years Florian Wagner has been fascinated by opals, agate and labradorite: in short, minerals beyond the fringes of the mainstream. They have formed the bedrock for the material orientation of his work. His design language has evolved in symbiosis with the women commissioning the pieces that are imbued with the mystic properties of the gemstones.
