SUMMARY:Noontime Artist Talk: Brian Smith
DESCRIPTION:Brian Smith discusses Gay Bar\, a meticulously beaded sculpture that foregrounds surface\, repetition\, and ornament as sites of meaning. Drawing from his broader practice\, Smith considers how labor-intensive processes and material excess intersect with queer aesthetics\, transforming notions of preciousness into something both sensorial and conceptual. \nBrian Smith is a Portland\, Maine-based artist working across sculpture and two-dimensional media. Rooted in queer ecological theory\, his labor-intensive work envisions futures in which humans adapt to climate catastrophe by migrating to the seas. He holds an MFA from Maine College of Art & Design and a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. His work has been exhibited across New England\, New York\, Texas\, and in Belgium; his work is included in the Portland Museum of Art collection. He has attended residencies in New England and received numerous grants\, including the Innovative Artist Grant.
