Matt Smith
Excerpt from Losing Venus site-specific curation at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, 2022
A bespoke Losing Venus: The Cook Service showcase will be debuting at Expo CHGO
Matt Smith is well known for his site-specfic work in museums, galleries and historic houses. Following the success of his exhibition in Oxford’s Pitt Rivers Museum, Matt Smith will present Losing Venus, focusing on the impact of LGBTQIA+ lives across the former British colonial empire. Given access to archives at both the Pitt Rivers Museum and the china manufacturer Wedgwood, Smith references Captain Cook’s Pacific voyages to measure the transit of the planet Venus, combining transfer monotype prints from both archives upon each dish in a ceramic dinner service. The surrounding serving dishes, candle holders, tureens and plates are created in Smith’s unique style – through taking archival objects and repurposing them in his quest to explore all forms of love.

This year Cynthia Corbett Gallery and Young Masters Art Prize have been invited to do a special curated presentation at London Art Fair 2022. We will be at Stand 5, across the hall from the Fair's Museum partner, the New Hall Art Collection, a collection of Modern and Contemporary Art by women at Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge – the largest of its kind in Europe, and second largest in the world. To keep the Focus On The Female narrative continuing, we have curated an all-woman showcase unpacking the oeuvre of sixteen women artists: Gallery-represented, YMAP alumnae and artists new to the Gallery.

We are also delighted to be part of Platform, a curated section featuring invited galleries presenting artists whose work aligns to a single distinct theme. This year's theme is Music, and our curation will highlight the oeuvre of British-Irish ceramicist, professor, curator & textile artist Matt Smith and British-American painter, collagist and photographer Andy Burgess.
