    The title of this issue of Metalsmith is "Exhibition in Print"
    simply because that is exactly what it is; an exhibition of juried
    work in print format. 

    While it is unfortunate that it has angered and incised so many
    Orchidians who have responded so contrarily to this year's
    selections, there isn't any need to take it so personally. I also
    don't find all of the work in this EIP to be interesting, or
    engaging, or compelling, or amusing, but then again I wasn't asked to
    select the work, only to view it as an exhibition. 

    Like many other exhibitions featuring a juried selection of work by
    various entrants, not everyone who views this one will necessarily
    approve of or enjoy each particular piece in the exhibition.
    Likewise, if the entries were submitted to different panels of
    jurors, their choices of which items to include in the exhibition
    would probably be quite different. 

    Equally, as with any exhibition experienced in any other venue, if
    the viewers want to embrace it as a wonderful assemblage of relevant
    art, or simply shrug their shoulders dismissively and walk away, that
    is their prerogative.
