The Studio Museum in Harlem

Shinique Smith will be the second artist to activate the Project Space with an installation designed and executed especially for the gallery. No stranger to the Studio Museum, Smith participated in our emerging artist exhibition Frequency (2005), and is known for her multimedia practice including sculptures made of clothing, collage on walls and paper, painting and drawing. Smith?s diverse art treads the lines between accumulation and loss, containment and scatter, legibility and scribble. Smith will transform the walls of the Project Space with a surprising use of text and fabric that will disrupt the traditional definition of ?mural.? Smith has a project currently on view at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. Inaugurated one year ago by Odili Donald Odita?s Equalizer, the Project Space is a dynamic new gallery dedicated site-specific works as well as other projects and installations.
