Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract sculptural piece utilizes a minimal, black-and-white palette to create a dynamic, kinetic composition. The work features an interconnected network of circular discs and thin metal rods, arranged in a precarious, off-kilter balance. The geometric shapes and sharp lines convey a sense of tension and unpredictability, inviting the viewer to contemplate the delicate equilibrium of the structure. The artist's skillful manipulation of form and materiality suggests an exploration of themes such as stability, motion, and the interplay between positive and negative space. This thought-provoking work exemplifies the modernist aesthetic and the avant-garde spirit that defined much of the contemporary art movement. ...

LAUGH TRACK, OR WHO’S THAT PEEKING IN MY WINDOW
Artist
Sable Elyse Smith
B.1986, American

Sable Elyse Smith’s interdisciplinary practice spans photography, painting, video, text, neon and sculpture. Often using language to highlight its performative aspect, the artist blends that which is political, public and personal to reveal institutional violence in the contexts of the carceral and court systems, correction facilities and racial injustices. Smith combines the imagery of mass incarceration with unexpected metaphors, such as an intimate touch of a lover, children’s colouring books or playgrounds. The contrast produced is at once uncanny and familiar: while not physically spoken of, the violence that Smith’s work reveals is entrenched, normalised in everyday public consciousness. By displaying the trauma of unseen, ignored narratives, the social commentary of Smith’s conceptual practice strives to find the missing language to speak of the unspoken. ...
