Shinique Smith: Refuge

Exhibition Website

Mar 14 2018 - Sep 9 2018

For more than a decade, multimedia artist Shinique Smith has employed new, used, and personal recycled clothing, fabrics, and objects—items that exist in the realm of what we call belongings—to construct sculptures, paintings, and site-specific installations.

Refuge references landscapes of and for the displaced. The growing global epidemic of homelessness and the navigation of private/public for those nomadic populations are central to Smith’s exhibition. The lifecycles of care and use evident in found materials and shifting notions of home are mapped and unfold in the gallery space.
