Jill Smith: kupferschmidt / kupferschmid / kupferschmidte

UW Fine Arts and UWAG are proud to co-present the second of our MFA Thesis Exhibitions "kupferschmidt / kupferschmid / kupferschmidte" is a sculpture and installation-based exhibition which uses materiality and autobiography to question the role and success of self-preservation amid a disruption to identity. The works in this exhibition use materials including those associated with Jewish culture to demonstrate the paradoxical nature of preservation.
