Wayne Smith art opening at Gallery 16

WAYNE SMITH
5 SHORT HOLIDAYS
JUNE 21st - JULY 31st
OPENING RECEPTION, THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 21st
6-9 PM

Gallery 16 is pleased to announce its fourth exhibition with artist Wayne Smith. His exhibition 5 Short Holidays continues his interest in scanner-derived imagery, repetitive drawing techniques, and working with found printed matter. The show will feature a new group of digital prints, collage works with imagery layered between glass, and ink and pencil drawings on wood. The show will also include a text-based installation piece that foregrounds his interest in writing/collecting seemingly random and often humorous titles. The title 5 Short Holidays playfully refers to his decision to present work in these various styles. The exhibition title is also shared with an EP by Smith's ongoing music project Aero-Mic'd, to be released during the run of the show.

Wayne Smith is a visual and sound artist who lives and works in San Francisco. Working in a variety of media, his work has also been shown locally at 2nd Floor Projects and Right Window Gallery. In 2007, he collaborated with artist D-L Alvarez on a sound and video installation that took place at Derek Eller Gallery, NY. A video installation at Exile Gallery in Berlin, Germany was shown as part of the "Psychometry" exhibition in 2009.

In 2004, Smith co-produced and performed on the CD "After Low" with artist Rex Ray, as part of the exhibition "Fascination" at Gallery 16. The CD, a reworking of David Bowie's "Low" album, featured performances by Matmos and Tom Recchion, among others. In 2012, he scored the soundtrack for D-L Alvarez and Kevin Killian's "The Visitor Owl", screened at SFMOMA.

Smith is also a member of San Francisco's "Poet's Theatre", writing four plays with author Kevin Killian over the past fifteen years. A revival of their 2001 play "The Shakers" was presented by Small Press Traffic at CCA, San Francisco in Autumn 2010.

On Friday, July 26th, we will host a special evening of Poet's Theater curated by Brandon Brown. Poet's Theater has been a vibrant part of the Bay Area arts scene for fifty years. Local writers Kevin Killian (author of many collections of fiction, poetry and memoir), Lindsey Boldt (author of Overboard and the recently released Tittties for Lindsey), and Sara Witnz of Walking Across This Field We Are Focused On This Time Now, just out from Ugly Duckling Presse) we will revive classics from those five decades and perform them in the space! Smith is a member of San Francisco's Theatre", writing four plays with author Kevin Killian over the past fifteen years.
