Blaffer Art Museum Presents Paul Anthony Smith: Standing In
Opening reception of Paul Anthony Smith: Standing In,
featuring a performance by artist Candice D’Meza.
Sat, October 22, 2022, 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM CDT
The act of “shooting” and sharing photographs has often been colonial in both history and nature, capturing subjects for our visual enjoyment, archive, and collection. Jamaica-born, New York-based artist Paul Anthony Smith makes photo-based works that push back against the medium’s inherently predatory dimensions while simultaneously introducing a network of added layers to navigate.
This exhibition is organized by Jane Dale Owen Director and Chief Curator, Steven Matijcio, and runs until March 12, 2023. Major funding for Paul Anthony Smith: Standing In is provided by the Stolbun Family Foundation, Leslie & Brad Bucher, and the John P. McGovern Foundation. Generous support is provided by Ingrid Arneberg, Andrew & Robin Schirrmeister, and Blaffer Art Museum Advisory Board members. Special thanks to Jack Shainman Gallery and the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City for their assistance in organizing this exhibition.
The following donors sustain Blaffer Art Museum in perpetuity by giving through endowments: Cecil Amelia Blaffer von Furstenberg Endowment for Exhibitions and Programs, Jane Dale Owen Endowment in the Blaffer Art Museum, Jo and Jim Furr Exhibition Endowment in the Blaffer Art Museum, Sarah C. Morian Endowment, and the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation Blaffer Gallery Endowment.
