Acutely aware of architecture and its capacity to influence consciousness, Sable Elyse Smith distills and expands historical and lived experiences of anti-black violence, creating a physical space that acknowledges trauma and manifests systematically ignored narratives. Approaching medium and form with precision, the New York-based writer and artist articulates urgent social commentary and an elegant conceptual vision through film, photomontage, neon, and works on paper. Smith’s compelling use of text is heavy with the implications of what is left unsaid, emphasizing the simultaneous necessity and insufficiency of language to investigate and process trauma. Within the malleable gallery space, Smith investigates both private and public implications. https://www.artsy.net/artist/sable-elyse-smith

C.R.E.A.M., 2018 aluminum light boxes and steel 140 x 328 inches on view in Agora High Line, New York, NY April 18, 2018 - March 2019 Sable Elyse Smith (b. 1986, Los Angeles, California) examines the complex language and emotional landscapes embedded in systems of surveillance and structures of constraint, and the often invisible ways in which they shape our minds and direct our bodies. For the High Line, Smith creates C.R.E.A.M. (titled after the Wu Tang Clan song), an altered replica of the Hollywood Sign that reads IRONWOODLAND—a reference both to the Ironwood State Prison and to “Hollywoodland,” the segregated real estate development that was advertised by the original sign. The piece draws attention to the contradictory nature of institutions that not only develop real estate, but prisons as well. Photo by Timothy Schenck. Courtesy of Friends of the High Line.
