If you visit Stove Works in South Chattanooga, you’ll find contemporary art nestled where manual labor once assembled cast iron stoves.

“Hand to Mouth” is a multimedia exploration of labor and physical movement that opens there on Friday as one of four new exhibitions.

TK Smith - curator, writer and cultural historian based in Philadelphia - is the curator for “Hand to Mouth.”

Caroline Gikas is Director of Exhibitions at Stove Works.
