Kiki Smith
To commemorate the release of “Catchers I-IV,” a new series of prints by contemporary artist Kiki Smith, Gallery KIDO Press is going to hold an exhibition titled “Kiki Smith: Implosion - Body, and Stars” from May 5 (Sat.) to June 10 (Sun.).
One of America’s major female artists, Kiki Smith came to prominence in the 1980s for her sculptures bound up with corporeality and feminism, and cannot be overlooked in any discussion of contemporary art.
For the new “Catchers” series (2018) on exhibit, Smith applied photogravure and used light to engrave the image of a manual drawing of two hands on the plate. In the print series “Puppetry” (2012), for which Smith utilized photopolymer plates, there is an interesting visual noise that arose along with spontaneous happenings in the printing process.
Also at the exhibition will be two major works of Smith’s dating from the 1990s: “Kiki Smith 1993” (1993) and “Worm” (1992). Measuring 185 by 93 centimeters, the former took the artist’s own digestive tract as its subject and was printed on handmade “washi” paper, which is said to resemble human skin.
