Exhibition in Print 2008, curators Kate Bonansinga and
Rachelle Thiewes

This curated Metalsmith Exhibition in Print on

body as site and alters sensorial experience by impacting one
or more of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste and
smell) and, by extension, the perceptions and actions of the
viewer, the wearer, or both. Works selected by the
curators will appear in Metalsmith’s 2008 Exhibition in
Print (published in August). In addition, chosen objects
will be shown in an exhibition at the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin
