Z33

“Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me:
There lie they, and here lie we
Under the spreading chestnut tree”

Steve Robyns (1981) is a Limburg-based maker, designer and artist. Z33 presents Into The Unknown, his first solo exhibition, in collaboration with Kunstenwerkplaats VONK. The show features Robyns’ full collection of functional sculptures, born from a long-standing fascination with the extraterrestrial. His sources of inspiration are documentaries and science fiction films.

With exhibition ‘The Wilde Things,’ Z33 explores new presentation models for contemporary jewellery in context of a wearer and within a narrative framework. Furthermore it takes a critical look at current developments within this discipline, which has evolved since the 1960s to become an autonomous, artistic, and reflective design practice.
