When Dan Das Mann moved to the Bay Area in 1996, one of the first things he did was help build a metal shop at a large San Francisco artist collective. People at the Cell Space arts complex were always going on and on about "Burning Man, Burning Man, you got to go to Burning Man!"

Kristin Smith is an interdisciplinary artist whose recent creative research has centered on the concept of an intelligent body where the body’s thoughts are realized through movement.  Using photography, video projection, and installation, Smith highlights evidence of this intelligence.  Most recently she collaborated with professional dancer Naomi Brand in her MFA thesis exhibition at the Nickle Arts Museum in Calgary, Canada. 
 

During her CELLspace residency, Smith plans to expand the work to include those without professional movement training in order to address the intelligence inherent in all bodies.
 

If you are interested in participating in this project, please contact the artist directly at theintelligentbody@gmail.com

Kristin Smith comes from a diverse artistic background, often combining her love of physical theatre and visual art.  Smith recently received her Art MFA in Mixed Media from the University of Calgary (2009), during which time she also participated in Interrarium, an interdisciplinary residency at the Banff Centre (2008).  Her performance work was presented as a part of E-Merge for the Fluid Movement Arts Festival (2008), and she also enjoyed collaborating with companies such as kloetzel&co (Calgary & New York) and W&M Physical Theatre (Calgary & Poland) throughout her time in Calgary.  Smith earned her BA in both Theatre Arts and Art from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in 2004.  While in Minneapolis, Smith directed and performed for the Minnesota Fringe Festival, The Varsity Theatre, and also trained under Kari Margolis.
