Interview with Kiki Smith
Kiki Smith: Woven Worlds
Moderna Museet Malmö
26 April – 12 October 2025
Kiki Smith (b1954, Nuremberg) weaves her works literally and metaphorically, intertwining folklore and anatomy, cosmology and technology. Reusing images over and over, collaging, cutting and drawing, she goes where she is led and creates works that speak to viewers on manifold levels.
Her latest exhibition, Woven Worlds, at Moderna Museet, Malmö, comprises more than 50 works from a career as many years in length, and, by juxtaposing tapestries with their cartoons and associated hand-coloured prints and drawings, it offers visitors an insight into the idiosyncratic thought processes and stages of development of the artist.
Smith spoke to Studio International by Zoom from her kitchen as she fed her cat and fought off intruding squirrels.
