This month, MFA mentor Joe Smith exhibits his work with Kaifeng Chun in a show entitled Partial Objects at Fogstand in Saint Paul. The exhibition is about double dissolution, one of the objects and the other of the subject. According to Fogstand, the selected artists differently embody methods that reject, rejoin and rejoice in derived or revived concepts of materiality. In this exhibition, Joe Smith continues the legacy of material innovation through its criticism. His pieces demonstrate a confounding juxtaposition of Giacometti-esque figures, bejeweled by industrially designed sanitation products. The show runs until May 31. Photography by Ellen Mueller.
