Images, synopses, and the full scripts for the artist's videos and performances, as well as samples of his paintings and public art projects. The Texts link contains theoreticians' essays on the work of Smith. In Background, the artist discusses his background: “My work often centers around personal dilemmas in which there is a discord between the natural impulse and gesture. The idea of an emotional loop is an ongoing preoccupation, no doubt a residue of growing up in the closed psychological field of apartheid.”

Very Real Time
Located in Cape Town and Johannesburg, the contemporary art program coordinated by Smith offers residencies in South Africa to local and foreign artists, emphasizing the execution of non-object projects tackling the issues of a country in which “complex emotions continue to rule the simplest exchanges between individuals.”
