Chorus

Art Production Fund presented "Chorus" by Kiki Smith as the third installation at The Last Lot project space on 46th Street and 8th Avenue in New York City. "Chorus" displayed multicolored stained-glass stars clustered throughout the lot. The free-standing sculptures range from 18 inches to six feet in height and are a kaleidoscope of hand-blown, translucent, iridized, modeled and cathedral glass. The stars evoked the glamorous heyday of Broadway and the Theater District surrounding the installation site. The rainbow-colored star clusters pay tribute to Josephine Baker, the American-born French burlesque dancer, singer and actress, who epitomized the sensuality and spectacle of the burlesque follies of the 1920s. Smith's multidisciplinary practice includes sculpture, drawing, printmaking, video and photography, among other techniques. Her work explores the human condition and spiritual aspects of human nature.
