Tuesday Smillie

Tuesday Smillie (born 1981 in Boston MA; lives and works in New York NY) is a visual artist working with textiles, collage, printmaking and watercolor. At the core of her work is the question of the individual and the group: the binary of inclusion and exclusion, and the porous membrane between the two.

She has had solo exhibitions at the Rose Art Museum, Waltham MA and Participant Inc, New York NY. Her work has been shown at the New Museum, New York NY; Brooklyn Museum, New York NY; Haus der Kunst, Munich, Germany; Museu de Arte de São Paulo, Brazil; The Jewish Museum, New York NY, and others.

On View in New York

Curated by Legacy Russell, Executive Director & Chief Curator of The Kitchen, ‘The New Bend’ is on view until 2 Apr 2022.
