In 2012 Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen acquired the video Xilitla (2011) by Melanie Smith (1965, Poole, UK), a British artist based in Mexico City. This work was featured in her solo presentation in the Mexican pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2011.

 

This autumn Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen presents an exhibition of Smith’s work from 1994 to the present. The exhibition was shown earlier at the MK Gallery in Milton Keynes and includes the video work Xilitla, her most recent film Fordlandia, vitrines with hundreds of objects, wall paintings, photographs and collages. This is Smith’s first solo exhibition in the Netherlands.
