Terry Smith: “ProjectSpace” | Thursday, February 20, 2014

Opening reception: Thursday, February 20, 2014

Terry Smith represents a surprisingly uncommon strand in the practice of contemporary art in the UK. His practice, which has been developing over twenty-five years, has its roots in Anti-Form European and American conceptualism.

And although Smith studied at Goldsmiths and was working in London throughout the heyday of the YBAs, he was never seduced by the glamour and high profile achievements of his contemporaries preferring to pursue his investigations into the way in which the complexities of ideas, materials, and the everyday can combine to make poetic statements that predate the fluidity of an art scene that has steered clear of any strong uniform trend.

One Art Space has invited the British Artist Terry Smith to make a pop show at their New York Gallery to help support a project called twenty-three lines, a collaborative performance work at the National Art Schools in Havana Cuba. This exhibition called PROJECTSPACE follows on from an exhibition last year at the Drawing Center Lab space in a show called Document.
