A Gathering, 1980 - 2005
Kiki Smith: A Gathering, 1980 - 2005 is the first full-scale major museum
presentation of Kiki Smith’s work over the past 25 years. Smith’s art
explores the human condition, the body, mythology, and spirituality
through a diverse array of materials and methods ranging from traditional
craftwork to contemporary multimedia installations. The exhibition
presents a “gathering," as Smith describes it, of approximately 230 works
in a broad variety of media, including sculpture in plaster, bronze,
paper, glass, porcelain, and other materials; installations; prints,
artist’s books, and other multiples; photographs; works on paper; and film
and video projects.
Kiki Smith is organized by Siri Engberg, curator, Walker Art Center,
Minneapolis, and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue
containing essays by Engberg, art historian Linda Nochlin, novelist Lynne
Tillman, and mythologist Marina Warner. The catalogue also includes the
first comprehensive illustrated chronology of Smith’s life and work and
complete documentation on her career.
