Shinique Smith: Menagerie April 23, 2011

In her first large-scale museum exhibition, multimedia artist Shinique Smith will build on previous museum installations to present a major exhibition that includes works on paper, paintings, and three-dimensional works from the breadth of her career. Dissolving the arbitrary division between objects, Smith will unify her works with the surrounding architectural space. Trained as an art educator as well as a visual artist, Smith will also work with Madison high school students to create a site-specific work for the exhibition; this work will be tied directly to the objects and ephemera of the Madison community.
