Free World Premiere: "Transmutation" Film + Live Artist Talk (Herbst Theatre)

War Memorial Veterans GalleryYou’re invited to join the world premiere of the film, Transmutation, exploring the life and work of master metalworker and internationally acclaimed artist Hans Casanova. Celebrating 20 years in jewelry artistry, this film unravels Casanova’s creative mind, bringing us on a journey through the decades of practice, wandering, and wonder that gave rise to his first solo exhibition, showcasing his most ambitious collection to date. “There’s the impulse of life making itself… There is time, there is the desire to move forward. There is love. There’s a whole story. There is the process of life, that’s magical… Deeply mysterious to me is the creation in all its splendor.” — Hans Casanova, Transmutation A wave dissolves into foam. A leaf turns from green to gold. A nail bends under pressure. Wood softens, cracks, and returns to the earth. In Transmutation, Hans Casanova captures these fleeting states of becoming. Drawing from decades of observation and extraordinary technical mastery, he transforms precious metals and gemstones into works that hold transformation still long enough for us to see them in their splendor. Explore the story behind this one-of-a-kind collection, which crosses the boundaries between jewelry and sculpture. Join us at the Herbst Theatre to discover the story behind this creative mastery. The film will be followed by an artist talk with Hans Casanova. Admission is free to all, donations are appreciated. Attendees are encouraged to reserve tickets in advance.
