MICHAEL SMITH
Screening & Conversation with Stuart Comer

The Museum of Modern Art
Mon, May 5 | 7:00 PM

Join MICHAEL SMITH for a career-spanning screening of his video works. The program will feature his iconic performance personae, including Baby Ikki, Mike, and the owner of a fictitious lighting design company, as they haplessly navigate their everyday world. The program will also feature a preview of Smith’s 2025 sequel to his dystopic 1985 video Mike Builds a Shelter.

This event coincides with the release of Mike’s Box, an eight-disc DVD collection surveying Smith's video career (co-produced by ARTPIX and Moikai/Drag City). Following the screening, the artist will be joined in conversation with Stuart Comer, MoMA’s Lonti Ebers Chief Curator of Media and Performance.

Mike's Box is available for purchase here; for further details about the May 5 event, please visit MoMA's website.
