SHINIQUE SMITH: STARGAZERS

at The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art

This exhibition presents a new body of work by Shinique Smith, whose multidisciplinary practice includes painting, sculpture, video, photography, installation and performance. Exploring ideas of transformation and ritual through materials such as fabric, clothing, personal belongings, breath, bundling, collage and gesture, Smith has built a complex visual vocabulary that resonates on intimate and social scales. 

Smith’s Breathing Room: Moon Marked Journey will also debut—a new time-based work that evolved out of the artist’s 2018 performance at Open Spaces KC.

Artist talk and reception: May 5th, 2022 from 6 p.m. Artist lecture will be held online and in Hudson Auditorium with a reception following in the Nerman atrium (drinks and light bites).
