SPECIAL CASES is an art jewellery collective defined by fluidity and continual transformation. Its membership is not fixed; the collective’s identity shifts with each encounter. Without formal organisational rules, the group convenes only around shared exhibition opportunities. 

Rather than a closed formation, SPECIAL CASES functions as a living, evolving structure.
The collective’s central aim is to advance art jewellery as an art of transgression—one that crosses boundaries. These include interpersonal boundaries, reflected in the constantly changing group composition; political and geographical boundaries, visible in its diverse, international membership; and formal and material boundaries, explored through interdisciplinary collaboration. Artists working with jewellery engage in dialogue with practitioners from other fields of art or science, producing hybrid and experimental forms.

SPECIAL CASES deliberately avoids imposing a unified exhibition theme. The only constant is the collective itself: a temporary constellation of distinct artistic positions brought together within a shared framework. Each exhibition becomes a moment of encounter, presenting individual practices in relation rather than conformity.

SPECIAL CASES is not a style, movement, or manifesto. It is a condition of meeting, a space for exchange, and a continuously evolving situation.
