Description
Melanie Smith: Farce and Artifice is a comprehensive publication that explores the work of an artist who defies easy classification. Born in England, Melanie Smith has been active on the Mexican art scene since the 1990s.
The exhibition, jointly organised by MACBA, MUAC Museo Universitario Arte Contemporaneo and UNAM, in Mexico City, and the Museo Amparo, in Puebla, Mexico, is the largest to date in Europe about Smith's work. This publication brings together a wide range of materials, including texts, images, and documents.
With 159 pages of high-quality content, this book provides a detailed insight into Melanie Smith's artistic practice and its significance within the contemporary art scene.
