Kaitlyn Jo Smith: Campaign

October 12 - December 07,2019

"Kaitlyn Jo Smith (b. 1994, Sycamore, OH)  is an interdisciplinary artist focused on the present and future trajectories of America’s working class. Raised by manual laborers in rural Ohio, Smith was thirteen when the housing market crashed and nearly every adult she knew was suddenly out of work. Her artworks render visible the intangible realities of unemployment by utilizing automation, augmented and virtual reality and 3D scanning and printing. These technologies are directly linked to the loss of over 4 million US manufacturing jobs since 2000. Her work has been featured in PDNedu and Don’t Smile Magazine and has shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tucson, Arizona, Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio, Flower City Arts Center in Rosendale, New York, Harry Wood Gallery in Tempe, Arizona and CO-OPt Research + Projects in Lubbock, Texas. She holds a BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design (2016) and is currently an MFA candidate at the University of Arizona (2020)."
