Terry Smith: Document
Co-curated by Nova Benway and Aimee Good.
New York – Following artist Terry Smith's May 2013 commission Capital Revisited for the
IDEAS CITY festival, The Drawing Center presents Document, a gallery exhibition of photographs,
drawings, and notebook sketches from the commission. From a temporary studio set up in the
former Millennium Film Workshop screening room in La MaMa Experimental Theater, Smith
began Capital Revisited, a series of drawings of Corinthian capitals reflecting the artist’s
longstanding interest in the form as a political, social, and architectural symbol. As Smith worked
in collaboration with installation team Republic Worldwide, the drawings appeared briefly in
sections on walls and windows around the Bowery neighborhood. The exhibition Document investigates Smith’s poignant and mischievous interventions into public space, and confronts the
question of what remains at the close of an ephemeral project. Curated by Nova Benway and Aimee
Good.
