Constellation

March 20, 2015 to July 10, 2016 - The inaugural installation of the space spotlights the recent acquisition Constellation by Kiki Smith.  This exhibition is a room-size installation on the theme of the heavens, inspired by images drawn from an early 19th-century celestial atlas. Twenty-six hot-sculpted glass animals of different sizes represent different animal-themed star patterns, some well-known. Designed by Smith and produced by Venetian maestro Pino Signoretto, the animals cavort amidst cast-glass stars and their own cast-bronze scat on a night sky made of handmade indigo-dyed Nepal paper.
