Notes:
Through books, paintings, collages and prints, Josh Smith explores the ideas of authenticity, authorship and the mythology of the artist. His casual, “anti-art” aesthetic intentionally defines the rules of artistic convention in an ironic and informed manner. The signifying components of his methodology consist of systematic processes and serial repetition, all the while confronting the notion of compositions created entirely by chance.
