Buck trained as a goldsmith with Gilbert Pretzmann in 1982 and graduated from the Danish College of Jewellery and Silversmithing in 1985. Since 1990, he has had his own workshop and gallery, and in the period of 1999-2001 he acted as an associate professor at the School of Design and Crafts at Göteborg
University. He has also designed jewellery for the Danish design firm Georg
Jensen. His work as a goldsmith covers a wide range, but a common feature
is his attempt to give his works a functional appeal. Buck has a highly
conceptual approach to jewellery design. In recent years he has been
exploring the symbols, conventions and clichés of his trade and sought to
uncover and challenge them through his work. That was also his approach
when he created the bowl Hollowware, which was included in Crafts
Collection 11. Buck’s work has won him many accolades, including the
three-year working grant from the Danish Arts Foundation and the Ole Haslund Artists’ Grant.
Hollowware is an inflatable bowl made in metallic plastic foil. Hollowware
is intended as a comment and a play on words relating to material and function. Hollowware is a professional term normally applied to silver objects. For this
bowl, Buck chose an approach that challenges the traditional understanding of the concept and thus created an inflatable object for the table that is both
humorous and functional.
Gold brooch & Gold bracelet are inflatable pieces of jewellery in gold foil.
As a trade, jewellery design has for generations focused more on the monetary value of the materials than on the artistic value – jewellery was seen as an
investment in precious materials: gold, silver and gems. As a modern jewellery designer, Kim Buck takes an ironic stance to these mechanisms, insisting that
the value of his jewellery lies in their concept, design and craftsmanship.
