Winner of two state awards, Ursula Biskup ranks among those designers who wed perfected craftsmanship to innovative ideas in their jewelry. Born in Bergisch-Gladbach in 1965, Uli Biskup studied jewelry design at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences after training as a goldsmith under Thomas and Ilse Dawo.

She graduated in 1997, and has been working freelance since 1999. For her tutu series, Biskup interlaces gossamer-fine silver threads to create spatially encompassing structures. Compellingly lightweight and flexible for excellent wearing comfort, the meshwork is ideal for earrings and necklaces. The meshwork is crafted from up to ten threads using precise mathematical specifications. Nevertheless, the result always radiates an eminently natural, gracefully flowing, softly weightless aura. The exhibition at Spandow Gallery, which starts with a summer festival and the vernissage on the first Saturday in September, is the 108th event organized by Helge Mischler, manager of the gallery in Berlin-Spandau. As always, visitors can look forward to enjoying not only exciting jewelry creations, but also live music and artworks created by members of the Brut Interstellar group, such as Betty Boese, Christoph Damm, Christian Ebel and Peter Schlangenbader.
