<p><strong>A multipart installation on the island of Hydra exploring mythic themes of earth and sky</strong></p><p>In 2019, multidisciplinary artist Kiki Smith (born 1954) was invited to present a site-specific project at the DESTE Foundation Project Space in Hydra, a former slaughterhouse perched on the edge of the sea. Drawing on maritime history, mythology, astronomy and site-specific anthropology, Smith combined naturalistic and fantastic elements into a multipiece composition that reflects the lived and imagined memory of both the slaughterhouse¿a stage for sacrifices¿and the Hydra region itself.<br><br>Alongside photographs of the installation and texts by Maggie Wright and Nadja Argyropoulou, <I>Kiki Smith: Memory</I> presents documentation of Smith''s process for this project, which draws on a variety of mediums including sculpture, textiles and drawing.</p>
