Open Call for Goosebumps Exhibition

Through the direct contact of jewellery with the skin, the intentional stimulation of this bodily reaction can be experimented with.
This external stimulus can be influenced by the choice and shape of materials or certain wearing positions. The touches and perceptions on the skin can thus evoke intense feelings, excitement, stress, fear, disgust or pleasure.

The exhibition will showcase a total of 20 regional, national and international jewellery artists.
