KIKI SMITH at SFMOMA

Went to the SFMOMA to see the Kiki Smith exhibit for the 2nd time. The 1st time I went to see the Chuck Close exhibt with my dad not knowing Kiki Smith was showing; 2nd time went to see Kiki Smith with Geri; and before it closes I will go a 3rd time with Nick to see both exhibits. She has an amazing array of work. There is a 15 minute Art 21 segment available to view on the 2nd floor as well as at a computer terminal at the entry area of her exhibit. The video is worth watching. I like how she said art making is 90% work rather than solely inspiration. Also she talks about death masks. As a child there was a death mask in her home of her grandmother who died 20 years before she was born. When her father died she made a death mask as well as molds of his hands and when her sister died she made a death mask of her...she has three generations of death masks.
