Alexandria Smith Selects
May 20–June 2, 2022
Metrograph, New York
metrograph.com
Alexandria Smith has curated a selection of films that have influenced her practice for many years, as part of a series copresented by Gagosian and Metrograph in the theater and online. The program will feature cinema exploring themes of loneliness through the prism of the fantastical; notions of family through spirituality; and the deconstruction of narrative through the disruption and manipulation of time.
Smith explains: “During the pandemic, I found myself locked down living abroad in another country for the first time in my life with my spouse, and forced to stay indoors for nearly two years. I was far away from family and friends, and unfamiliar with the new country I was inhabiting, so books and movies became my refuge. The films that I’ve curated for this program are long-time favorites—films I can’t stop thinking about, and that I turn to for a multitude of reasons, from narrative to color inspiration in the studio.”
