About Current Obsession:

Current Obsession is a magazine and platform dedicated to contemporary adornment. CO works to expand and to empower the meaning of what adornment is, currently, by gathering key personal and cultural signifiers  — jewellery, fashion artefacts, digital means of self-enhancement, body modifications, make-up and drag art —  at the core of its practice.

Looking at the urgent world matters through the lens of adornment — as one of the most fundamental art forms accompanying human existence — CO raises questions of identity, belonging, heritage and decoloniality.

Appreciated for its experimental approach and unconventional style, CO showcases new ways of presenting and experiencing jewellery, collaborates with exceptional designers and artists, and develops curatorial projects with renowned brands and cultural institutions.

In this issue:

With this issue, Current Obsession introduces an experimental publishing model, with the magazine being released chapter by chapter throughout the year, instead of all at once. Each chapter comes a result of an in-real-life activation, in the case of this issue – an evening of performances and conversations, a workshop, a studio visits and panel discussion, and a museum archive visit. The final content is, therefore, not defined in advanced, but rather, created together with our public. We set out with a premise, an idea, and we ask others to join us in conversation, shaping the outcome together.
