BROOKLYN, NY.- Kiki Smith: Sojourn, a major
site-specific installation that explores the ideas of creative inspiration and
the cycle of life in relation to women artists, will be on view February 5
through September 12, 2010, in the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist
Art.
The exhibition will draw from a variety of work by Kiki Smith in a

artist will also incorporate her work into two of the Brooklyn Museum’s
eighteenth-century period rooms in the nearby Decorative Arts galleries.
