article sur Juanita Care"Juanita Care Location: Mexico City, Mexico Clients: Yung Beef, La Zowi, Yung Lean, Doja Cat The work of Juanita Care is not for the faint of heart. Now located in Mexico City, after spending some time in Brussels and Marseille, Care makes pieces that are ostentatious and brazenly bizarre. “I believe that a great freedom has been brought to the imagination of the grill,” says Care, and looking at the pieces, it’s clear there are no bounds to creativity. From flames that wrap around the upper set of teeth, spikes that enable the wearer from closing their mouth, oozing metallics that crank open the jaw, and messages that can only be read from the inside, the designs are unlike any others. “Today,” Care says, “Grillz are as much jewelry as art pieces that contain a vision.”

Article de l'interview "Screwing with jewellery: these designers are making hard-wear for the body" pour I-D magazine. Juanita Care Based in Marseille, French-Peruvian artist and designer Juanita Care creates jewellery for the most intimate body part: the mouth. How did you start designing jewellery? I got into it a bit by chance. When I came out of studying fine arts, my intention was to find a compromise between continuing to make art and being able to sell my work, simply, without going through galleries or exhibitions. When I met a dental technician, Thierry, something clicked and I thought I would try to create jewellery for teeth. How do you define jewellery? What makes it different from clothing? Jewellery is a very special object that has a close connection with the body. This closeness also exists between the naked body and the clothing, but jewellery goes further in this relationship, since we sometimes go as far as modifying the body to accommodate them. To pierce the ears, the nose, the nipples, etc. In my case it wasn’t a question of modifying the body, if not to make custom-made jewelry that fits the body perfectly. Screwing with jewellery: these designers are turning trash into trinkets What drew you to creating jewellery for the mouth, specifically? The mouth seems to me to be one of the most intimate parts of our body. It’s the place of a whole social and cultural construction. It is a place full of meaning and symbolism. It is here that the words and the languages are born, it is here that food comes in, that aggression manifests itself, that love and sex are practiced. But it also tells us a lot about our health, our social class. Those who can redo their teeth, those who whiten them, those who cannot. It is the place of identity, since precisely our teeth can be used for the identification of a body, because they are extremely solid and above all unique. Oral jewellery remains very marginal. It’s experiencing a certain success with grills, but it is a field of jewellery that is very poorly developed. And thus only for that it is interesting to look into the question. How does wearability figure into your design process? I distinguish two categories of jewellery in my work. The first is the manufacture of dental jewellery, commonly known as grill jewellery. In this one the question of wearability is very strict. It’s important that people feel comfortable with the jewellery, that they can speak without discomfort, that it’s not too bulky. The second is the more artistic part in which the question of wearability is not really the subject, but the custom-made character. Could your pieces exist as autonomous works, without being related to the body? Yes, this is something that matters to me. I see them as small sculptures. In most of the pieces that I have done alone or in collaboration with other artists and designers, the presence of the body is always there, inscribed in the piece by the presence of the imprint, be it teeth, palate, lips or other. So yes, these objects are still there and I like to show them that way even when they are not worn. On the other hand they always suggest the body of their owner. You can commission a custom Juanita Care piece through the designer’s website.

ENTREVISTA

Article de l'interview "Juanita is an artist of conceptual custom-made grills as he began to develop an individual style and fascination for small sculpture pieces, jewellery and mouthwear. With the rise in interest for grills, these quirky accessories have “become weapons for feminism and LGBTQ+ struggles” as told by Adrien Flores, aka Juanita. Symbolism lies at the heart of Adrien’s work and the realisation that the mouth is something we should not be ashamed of is key to understanding his concept. Juanita creates all of his grills personally, from the the design, to the completed pieces as he takes great pride in the process. He is currently living and working in France and uses his time to continue experimenting and creating." par COEVAL MAGAZINE
