David B. Smith (Brooklyn, NY): Same but Different
Past exhibition
Overview
Throughout the exhibition Smith considers identifying factors that affect experience, considering the tendency to box ourselves into groups when perhaps we are something else, something more complex.
What started as a humorous recognition by gallerist and artist that they share the same name led to broader questions: What is self? What if each of us contains and shares many selves? What if other worlds existed where we can observe these selves taking actions we never made, almost did, or never even considered?
Smith features pairs of artworks made with a similar recipe of concept, materials, and process, but with slightly different outcomes, setting up a dynamic of relationality, two worlds are mirrored but not quite.
