KIKI SMITH . RED STANDING MOON

Galerie Thomas Schulte, Berlin
September 17 to October 22, 2022

Curated by Petra Giloy-Hirtz

In its first exhibition of US artist Kiki Smith, Galerie Thomas Schulte is showing works from the last twenty years. Smith is one of the outstanding artists of our time and has created a multi-layered body of work that addresses sociopolitical, philosophical and spiritual dimensions of human nature. Her investigations of the body, the female body in particular, propose discourses of the human condition, also addressing the relationship to animals, nature, and the environment.
