Courtney Smith

In her first solo museum show in New York, Courtney Smith will present a series of sculptures covering her work from 2003 to the present. Smith's sculptural investigations begin with deconstructing furniture either by cutting, hinging and manipulating its parts to create a new order or by invading the host body with foreign elements which take over the original structure like a parasite. One set of work piles mountains of hard-edged modules onto furniture while another erases the surface through intricate carving. The exhibition also features Smith's collages and text based work.
