Installation view, Kiki Smith, River Light, July 15 – November 9, 2020, Storm King Art Center, New York © Kiki Smith Artist Projects Kiki Smith River Light Storm King Art Center, New Windsor, New YorkJuly 15 – November 9, 2020 Storm King is delighted to present Kiki Smith: River Light, a solo exhibition of outdoor works that marks the artist’s first presentation of flags—a new element within her expansive production—in the United States. For the exhibition, on view from July 15 to November 9, 2020, Kiki Smith (b. 1954, United States) will create a new collection of flags whose unpredictable, ever-changing movement will mimic the ebb and flow of water in a river. Installed alongside four outdoor sculptures on Storm King’s Museum Hill with long views of the surrounding mountains, the flags will present an ephemeral installation that is activated by the natural world around it.Smith has long considered nature in her wide-ranging artistic practice, and her flags ripple out from ideas of printmaking, photography, as well as interests in space, spectacle and pageantry. Arranged in a circular procession, the images in the nine brilliant blue flags of river light result from a film the artist created in 2005 of glints of sunlight on the East River, along which she used to walk to the 23rd street public pool. The standalone flag of hudson river addresses the Hudson Valley, highlighting Storm King’s shifting landscape through fluctuations in wind, weather, and light.For more information, visit Storm King's (opens in a new window) website.
