Exhibition - I Myself Have Seen It: Photography and Kiki Smith

A major figure in contemporary art, Kiki Smith is best known for her sculpture, prints and drawings exploring corporeal (both human and animal) realms and, more recently, the world of fairy tales. I Myself Have Seen It: Photography and Kiki Smith explores the ways Smith articulates her ideas visually, through the camera. The more than 200 objects and 5,000 snapshots in the exhibition include photographs Smith uses as source material for her work in other media. The installation juxtaposes source photographs with the sculptures they inspired. Smith’s photographs suggest new meanings for her art, as well as her explorations as photography as an independent art form—from single images to manipulated and collaged pictures. The exhibition also includes two video works and examples of Smith's sculptures.

I Myself Have Seen It: Photography and Kiki Smith is curated for the Henry Art Gallery by Chief Curator Elizabeth Brown with support from Steven Johnson and Walter Sudol, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, and ArtsFund. The exhibition is accompanied by a monograph co-published by the Henry Art Gallery with Prestel.
