Sable Elyse Smith
Sable Elyse Smith is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and educator based in New York. Using video, sculpture, photography, and text, she points to the carceral, the personal, the political, and the quotidian to speak about a violence that is largely unseen, and potentially imperceptible.
Her work has been featured at MoMA Ps1, New Museum, The Studio Museum in Harlem, JTT gallery and numerous others. Smith has received awards from Creative Capital, Fine Arts Work Center, the Queens Museum, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Rema Hort Mann Foundation, the Franklin Furnace Fund, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation and Art Matters.

SITElines.2018
The third installment in the SITElines biennial series focusing on contemporary art from the Americas, Casa Tomada featured 23 artists from eight countries and ten new commissions. Questioning notions of private property — of the body, mind, land, and culture — the exhibition asks how boundaries are dissolved and/or violated.
