Kiki Smith in In Our Image: The Fragile Body in Contemporary Art

The Warehouse Dallas Art Foundation
26 September 2026 – 30 January 2027

Kiki Smith features in an exhibition curated by Simone Krug that explores the vulnerability of the human body as a site of storytelling, identity, and social reflection. Bringing together works from diverse cultural contexts, the exhibition challenges traditional ideals of beauty, instead embracing the body’s imperfections, fragility, and impermanence. Through themes of fragmentation, movement, performance, puppetry, and digital identity, it examines the tensions between the personal and universal, the familiar and unsettling, and the physical and dematerialized self. Smith’s inclusion highlights the body’s capacity to embody vulnerability, transformation, and existential complexity, reinforcing the exhibition’s broader reflection on what it means to be human in an increasingly technological world.
