The open concept of art in a procession

 


Cooperation with Munich House der Kunst and the Sarah Hildern Art Museum in Finland included more than 60 works and work groups by American Kiki Smith, who was born in Nuremberg in 1954. Since being performed in Vienna for the second time since "The Silent Walk" in 1992, hiking is mainly done through her work over the past 30 years.

But the "summa," mentioned by Curator Petra Gilyo-Hits regarding her taste in the Middle Ages, began another choice, as can be seen in Okui's preface and Okwi's preface. Enweizor is purely masculine occupation in the art scene, Seo-gu, differentiated extended and methodological point of view, this is even lead to visual art after death.Including the separation of feminist theory state, but Smith's at least three steps are included."the aesthetics of women" and "culture of feminism" and controversial issues such as dealt with in her work.

Art saves the world.
The historical mathematician's claim to save the world through art has been unilaterally alienated from a cold intellect, but not so interesting to Smith. Even for Joseph Beauis, a small naturalist who shares the original theme.Look at it in the hierarchy.


On a non-relational track that deals with the sides of women from Nancy Spero to prehistoric times, she deals with animals, soul birds and butterflies. But her naked women show sexual taboos and social customs, leading from birth to death in 1900, with many references to her body juice. In the first room, the chest shape is changed into a warrior's shield, and many depictions have been made through each of the respective space histories, either in a channel-opening bowl for body juices or in individual universes. Sculptures, animals, trees, sky, stars, sometimes seen at night, and tapestries that combine the birth of deer and wolf women.

a dreamy person
Smith has fragile bells about wax, ceramics, bronze and glass, so the material problem shouldn't be overlooked. Hair is as important as doll models, fabrics, and palm hair like Louis Bourgeois. It's a priority.

Smith, born into an artist family, immortalized not only AIDS deaths in the 1980s, but also the members of the deceased family (in the case of lion masks). In fact, the art extends to 27 crows in New Jersey, which have fallen from the sky because of pesticides.

As a wolf woman, Smith is close to not only Sigmund Freud's totem theory, but also to the whole body idea that has been frantically negotiating the effective separation of the body and soul since Baruch de Spinoza. Some tapestries remind people of the world of sensitive emotions and material problems, but the artist has come to paint a big picture with works by Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock and Mark Roscoe. These spheres overcame them, especially in huge documents, leaving them far behind.
