Contemporary artist Allison Smith's diverse creative practice
critically engages with popular forms of historical reenactment
through a variety of media, including sculpture, textiles,
ceramics, and photography. Focusing on the handmade and
performative aspects of history and material culture, Smith
re-stages, refigures, and replays the role of traditional crafts in
large-scale installations that reconsider the construction of
collective memory and identity. For the core of Allison Smith:
Needle Work, the artist created contemporary revisions of European
and American gas masks from World War I and World War II. Smith
used art supplies found at local fabric and craft retail stores to
explore a range of masklike forms - from the ghoulish to the
foolish - thereby questioning essential notions of camouflage and
masquerade. This exhibition catalog, illustrated throughout in
color, includes an essay that considers Smith's project in light of
Peter Sloterdijk's "Terror from the Air", as well as in-depth
interviews with the artist and the curator.
