Kiki Smith's Fourth Solo Show at Raffaella Cortese Explores Connections
Kiki Smith's fourth solo exhibition at Raffaella Cortese in Milan features drawings and sculptures that explore connections, transitions, and circulations of forces, challenging societal fragmentation and dichotomies. The works, delicate in material and refined in craftsmanship, depict female heads that blur the line between the artist's identity and the viewer's, seeking mysterious connections between the self and the world. The exhibition draws on a statement from a 1990s publication by Jennifer Wells, where Smith noted that society is fragmented and presented as dichotomies. The show runs at the gallery in Milan.
