On View: October 2 - October 28 2023

Bio: Abigail Smithson is a visual artist and a Lecturer in the Art+Film Department at Cal Poly Humboldt in Arcata, CA. Her art practice is rooted in the appreciation, translation and act of archiving photographs and objects. The game of basketball has been a longtime muse for her and she follows and believes firmly in the  New Craft Artists in Action collective motto, which is Participation vs. Spectatorship when it comes to sports. Through her podcast Dear Adam Silver as well as her visual work, she questions the current narrative around sports and art and how the two cultural entities overlap and live side by side. She was born and raised in Redwood City, CA
