Organizer: Lynne Mayocole, sculptor. ATOA President
Mimi Smith, an early pioneer in clothing, feminist, and installation art began making sculpture in the form of clothing in 1965 not as garments to be worn but as sculpture, installations and visual objects. Over the years her art has continued to examine clothing as both form and subject, while also exploring other themes and using other media from life size paper and knotted thread and tape measure drawing installations, to works related to television and sound, computers, books and clocks.
She has exhibited throughout the United States and internationally in exhibitions including the retrospective ‘Steel Wool Politics’ at the ICA Philadelphia, ‘WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution at LA MOCA, and ‘Addressing the Century, 100 Years of Art and Fashion’ at the Haywood Gallery, London, and is represented by the Anna Kustera Gallery in NYC. Selected public collections include MOMA, the Fog Museum, the RISD Museum, the Newark Museum, and the Spencer Museum.
