INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
In the 77th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is at the Penland School of Craft during their Winter Residency this past January. Sarah was awarded the Andrew Glasgow Residency, which provides emerging and established writers, scholars, curators, and storytellers in all mediums with the freedom to write stories and conduct research and interviews on topics designed to advance the field of craft. Sarah took advantage of being surrounded by artists from all over the country and recorded 13 interviews in total. Sarah was delighted to learn that her friend Adam Grinovich had been awarded a winter residency so the two made a plan to connect while their paths crossed at Penland.
At the time of this recording, Adam and his wife, Annika Pettersson, who is also a jeweler, were preparing to move to Penland in a few months to begin a one-year residency. The two jewelers sat down to discuss why Adam chose to transition out of his full-time teaching position at SCAD Savannah, how he navigated the logistics of living and studying abroad, and what he hopes his time as a Penland Resident Artist will bring.
OUR GUEST
Adam Grinovich was born in Boston Massachusetts USA and received his BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in the Jewelry and Metalsmithing program. After working in the CAD/CAM industry for 2 years he continued his studies, receiving an MFA in jewelry from Konstfack University in Stockholm Sweden studying under professors Ruudt Peters and Karen Pontoppidan.
Grinovich’s career in jewelry is punctuated by travel and exchange. He has assisted in the studios of prominent artists and designers such as Christoph Zellwegger in Zurich, Switzerland and Ted Noten in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He has an extensive list of international exhibitions and inclusion in private and public collections.
In addition to his independent studio career Grinovich is a founding member of the experimental jewelry collective A5 , a member of the design collective Critical +.
The work of Adam Grinovich deals with the themes of glamour, worth, value, technology, and adornment. His work crystalizes moments into microcosms, investigates the sublime qualities of craft, and collects simple gestures into complex expressions.
In addition to craft, art, and design, Grinovich is an educator, working for 5 years as a Professor of Jewelry at Savannah College of Art and Design. Currently he is a resident artist at the Penland School of Crafts in NC, USA.
