    Ethical Metalsmiths announce that their second virtual exhibition,
    Composting Good and Evil: Redesign for Sanctimonious Sinners is now
    "live" on their website 

    http://www.ethicalmetalsmiths.org/CGE_Intro.html. 

    A call for entries was posted last November on a number of websites
    and list serves and sent to schools and metal arts organizations.
    Artists were asked to consider how to reconcile the way we consume
    the world's resources, our "evil" habits, with our "good" intentions.
    They were asked "to consider what would happen if we tossed our smug
    habits into a heap? What would happen if we composted our shameless
    sins, our saintly intentions and our fertile imaginations and pledged
    to use the resulting fecund glory to redesign and nurture the world?"
    Rethinking, redesigning, recycling and repurposing were encouraged. 

    Eighty nine artists responded. The resulting exhibition is a subtly
    subversive and engaging visual essay about choosing change; it is
    insightful, humorous, startling, ironic, challenging, beautiful,
    puzzling, erotic, traditional, thoughtful, accomplished and "other."
    There was a digital screening and reception at the SNAG conference in
    Savannah in addition to its showing on an outdoor digital billboard
    in front of the building. 

    Ethical Metalsmiths was formed for the purpose of stimulating demand
    for responsibly sourced materials as an investment in the future, and
    stands for social responsibility, a healthy environment and materials
    that are consistent with these values.
