Description

This unique collection of exceptional breadth brings together almost one hundred works by American artist Kiki Smith, spanning from the 1990s to the present day. The exhibition at La Monnaie in Paris covers the major themes of the artist’s oeuvre, including the human body, the female figure and the symbiotic relationship with nature, all of which are recurring motifs. Kiki Smith’s oeuvre resembles a voyage, a quest in search of a union between the body and all other living beings and the cosmos. From microscopic elements to the organs of the body, from the organs to the body in its entirety, then from the body to cosmic systems, the artist explores the relationship between different species and scales, seeking out the harmony that unites us with nature and the universe.


Exceptionnelle du fait de son ampleur, cette exposition réunira plus d’une centaine d’oeuvres, des années 1990 à nos jours. Deux sculptures accueilleront les visiteurs au sein des cours extérieures de la Monnaie de Paris. Le parcours – sur plus de 1000m 2 – conduira les visiteurs à travers les thématiques majeures de l’art de Kiki Smith, parmi lesquelles le corps humain, les figures féminines et la symbiose avec la nature. Mises en dialogue, les oeuvres présentées refléteront la grande diversité de la pratique de cette artiste, qui explore de nombreux matériaux : bronze, plâtre, verre, porcelaine, tapisserie, papier, ou encore cire.
Si la sculpture occupe une place centrale dans son travail, Kiki Smith produit également de nombreux dessins. L’artiste apprécie particulièrement l’art de la gravure et conserve notamment un ensemble de médailles et de monnaies anciennes.
