2-TIMES  Art
Emily Mae Smith, 
Feast of Totems
@ CFA Berlin
— 

Subversive
riffs on art history,
injecting defiant
language, design,
and science fiction
elements into
classic settings
.
 

Born: 
1979 – Austin, Texas. 

Based: 
Brookyln, NY. 

‘Feast of Totems’: 
Is Emily's first solo
with CFA, presenting
a series of paintings
and drawings that 
occupy and distort art
historical compositions,
claiming space for
feminine subjectivity. 

At once humorous
and critical, Smith’s
meticulously rendered
tableaux present
a feast of codes,
signs, and symbols
