    Internationally renowned artist Kiki Smith to serve
    as IAA artist-in-residence at UNT for 2013-14

    DENTON, Texas (UNT) – Internationally renowned sculptor and printmaker Kiki Smith, who received a Department of State Medal of the Arts Award in 2012, returns to UNT this fall as the artist-in-residence for the University of North Texas Institute for the Advancement of the Arts in the 2013-14 academ...ic year.

    Smith visited UNT in the spring of 2013, when she was the chosen speaker for the annual Patsy R. and Raymond D. Nasher Lecture Series in Contemporary Sculpture and Criticism. In his introduction of Smith, College of Visual Arts and Design Dean Robert Milnes said, “Kiki Smith creates some of the most empathetic, intimate, imagistic and figurative works of our era. Her work is deeply spiritual and at the same time politically charged, addressing philosophical, social and spiritual aspects of human nature through prints, drawings, sculpture and installations.”

    Smith starts her residency Sept. 29. While at UNT, she will work with students, visiting classes to talk about her work. Throughout her residency, she will be making a large-scale print and, in March, will exhibit other pieces of her work at UNT on the Square.

    “I look forward to my residency at the University of North Texas,” said Smith. “I plan to use it as an experimental time for learning ways new to me to create large landscape prints celebrating the Texas wildflowers.”

    New York’s Museum of Modern Art calls Smith “one of the most significant artists of her generation.” She was among five artists who received the first Department of State Medal of the Arts Awards for the work they have done, including their artwork displayed in U.S. embassies around the world. Known for her sculptures and prints, which often focus on female iconography, Smith’s artwork is in collections throughout the world including the Art Institute of Chicago, Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

    “It is both an honor and a thrill to host Kiki Smith as the fourth IAA artist-in-residence,” said Institute for the Advancement of the Arts Director Herbert Holl. “I know her previous positive experiences with the UNT College of Visual Art and Design contributed greatly to her accepting our invitation. We are especially delighted at her willingness to present an exhibition at UNT on the Square.”

    Past IAA artists-in-residence have included Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga; nationally-acclaimed opera composer Jake Heggie, who wrote Ahab Symphony, which premiered at UNT in spring 2013; and visual and performance artist Nick Cave, who featured brightly colored horse soundsuits at the premiere performance of Heard at UNT in spring 2012.

    About Kiki Smith

    The daughter of sculptor Tony Smith and opera singer Jane Lawrence Smith, Kiki Smith began sculpting in the 1970s. Since 1980, she has created artwork using a variety of other media. In addition to the 2012 Department of State Medal of the Arts Award, she has received several awards and honors. These include the 2005 Athena Award for Excellence in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design and the 2009 Edward MacDowell Medal. She was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2005. Smith’s work is represented by Pace Gallery, New York.

      Calling all artists! The Painting Center, a gallery in the heart of Chelsea is now accepting submissions for "Working It Out" juried by Mona Brody, Alyce Gottesman, and Jo Ann Rothschild. The exhibition "Working It Out" will allow the viewer to see the private world of the artist’s creative process. Drawing can be an exploration of materials, mark making, the emotional tenor of a piece, compositional arrangements or color. Working drawings are the visual manifestation of a work in progress; a working idea. We invite artists of all disciplines to submit working drawings. Deadline for submissions is April 15. The exhibition opens June 18th. Please visit our website for the submission form: http://www.thepaintingcenter.org/juried-exhibition-form-working-it-out Juried Exhibition Form: "WORKING IT OUT" | The Painting Center www.thepaintingcenter.org
