Current Obsession brings a curatorial and editorial layer to Munich Jewellery Week – spotlighting exceptional work, digging deeper into the ideas behind it, and creating new ways to experience the week. Expect the Paper, conversations, curated experiences, routes and a few surprises along the way.
Curated
Paper
Every year Current Obsession prints a dedicated publication for Munich Jewellery Week. Deepening our commitment to community engagement, we have recently begun collaborating with guest editors to focus each edition more closely on regional and community representations of contemporary jewellery, to distribute the spotlight and foster broader connections throughout the field.
Readers in Munich get a closer look at yet another corner of the field through curated editorial content which highlights a chosen region, including gorgeous photo spreads of local work by local photographers, and articles by writers active in that community. Placed alongside print campaigns of current work by practitioners from all over the globe, this edition offers a snapshot of the field that is both thoughtful and of the moment, to recontextualise what is at the festival, and supplement what is not.
Experiences
Our greatest area of focus moving forward will be in presenting curated experiences for visitors to Munich – activations and gatherings aimed at provoking moments of exchange. One of the most common things we hear about MJW is how beloved it is for its level of experimentation in how jewellery is presented. Current Obsession will be working with that collective energy to facilitate the kinds of in-depth experiences that don’t simply promote contemporary jewellery but actually bring the field forward.
So stay tuned for more information as we finalise plans for all sorts of exciting events to come, and re-convene on the streets of Munich for MJW ’27.
