Scrounging through local art-related posts, I came across the Seattle Times review of the Kiki Smith exhibit on display at the Henry through August 15th, 2010. The exhibit sounds like a sprawling look inside the mind of a prolific artist – subject matter that I always find engaging.
Entering “I Myself Have Seen It: Photography and Kiki Smith” is less like visiting an art exhibit than inhabiting an artist’s mind — an artist’s hectic, multifocused, densely populated mind. There are, literally, hundreds of works in the show teeming across the walls and along the baseboards of the Henry Art Gallery’s North Galleries.
There are a whole bunch of great resources about the show posted over at the official Henry website including the Exhibiting Artist Lecture by Kiki Smith prior to the show opening.
And here’s a shorter PBS profile of Kiki Smith from Art:21 that at least gives a sense of her work and style without committing you to 57 minutes:
I plan on heading over to see this exhibit soon. Have any of you already taken it in? Thoughts?
