Galeria Vermelho presents the solo exhibition Sala dos Espelhos [Room of Mirrors] by Courtney Smith.
Courtney Smith presents 4 wooden sculptures and a series of printed texts made from phrases taken from old tales. The collection of individual phrases forms a fixed universe that works like a kit for putting together new narratives. Sculptures work the same way. Each work has as its starting point the furniture which, as an object, refers as much to the human figure that uses it as it does to the architecture that contains it. The mutable piece of furniture, the mutant piece of furniture: the sculpture takes advantage of the information obtained from the original object, whether literally, in the reconfiguration of its physical body, or simply in the use of its concept. As in the texts, the sculptures are constructions made with reconstituted fragments pointing to a new logic.
