Shinique Smith
Shinique Smith takes physical stock of fibreculture and the possibilities of line. Working widely across painting, drawing, collage, video, and installation, Smith creates ecosystems of cooperative corporality. Her works evoke embodied artifacts. Secondhand finds and neo-tribalism interact with Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, and Japanese calligraphy to create playful alterations between supertext and subtext, evoking the textile weaves of Smith’s oft-used materials themselves. In an exhaustive effort to process and restore culture, Smith creates menageries that glom high and lowbrow expressions and bury them at the human center.
Shinique Smith was born in Baltimore, MD and lives and works in New York, NY. Recent solo exhibitions include Museum of Fine Art, Boston, MA; Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, East Lansing, MI; Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah, GA; Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Madison, WI; Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, FL; and the Studio Museum in Harlem, among numerous others. Recent group shows include 30 Americans, which originated at the Rubell Family Collection, Miami; The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; North Carolina Museum of Art; Bronx Museum; Brooklyn Museum; Denver Art Museum; Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, Germany; Socrates Sculpture Park, NY; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, CA; National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; The New Museum, New York, NY, and others. Smith’s works are in the permanent collections of The Brooklyn Museum of Art; The Denver Art Museum; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; The Margulies Collection, Miami; Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore; The Rubell Family Collection, Miami; and The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York.
