In 1994 Terry Smith began a series of site specific building
interventions, creating his first wall cuttings in houses
ready to be demolished and producing work often inaccessible
to the public. Works that evolved from this period include
Capital, 1995 an intervention in Gallery 49 at the British
Museum; six wall cuttings at Tate Modern during its reconstruction
in 1996, and at MACBA, Barcelona where he fired 35,000 staples
- 1m wide and 25m long - into the walls of the museum. Preoccupied
with exploring and experimenting in new media, recent projects
by Smith, have included Broken Voices, The Foundling and in
2011 Caracol, a work made in Caracas, with twenty five singers.
His most recent exhibition, Parallax, was a survey show of
his work at the John Hansard Gallery in Southampton, curated
by David Thorp. Smith is currently working on a project in
Cuba with musicians and dancers
