Kiki Smith gallery installations
After some research into Kiki Smith's gallery exhibitions, I have seen how her works interact with the space around it. Many of her pieces are almost directly intergrated into the wall or floor, for example, and appear to part of the work.
In this photograph of one of Smith's pieces we see that the sculpture is filling the space with chains and metal, with the middle being in a chaotic pile.
This piece is directly filling up this corner. It 'pushes' against the two walls more and more as it gets closer and closer to the corner.
There is random spacing in this piece, giving it an almost organic look despite the materials being inorganic.
