Greg Smith

Greg Smith (born 1970) is an American interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, New York whose practice consists of installation art, sculpture, and video. Early life and education Smith was born in DeKalb, Illinois in 1970. He received a Bachelor of Arts from Amherst College in 1993, a Doctor of Philosophy in Physics from Harvard University in 2000, and a Master of Fine Arts from Hunter College in 2005. Career and work Greg Smith stages exhibitions that often include a combination of installation art, sculpture, and video. John Yau, in an article for Hyperallergic, described Smith as “an absurdist inventor, a performer attracted to risk, a scientist (he did get a PhD in Physics from Harvard, by the way), an analytical storyteller who refuses to settle for easy parodies, and, perhaps most importantly, an artist who is too self-respectful to take shortcuts or feints.” Reviews of his work have also appeared in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Paper, The Brooklyn Rail, Hyperallergic, and Studio International.
