Save As:/ Taylor Smith presents a new exhibition of floppy diskette paintings
at Park City Fine Art Gallery during Labor Day Weekend

Park City, UT – Multimedia artist Taylor Smith debuts new works from her ongoing floppy diskette paintings series in the exhibition Save As:/ Art with Park City Fine Art Gallery, on view August 29th – September 30th at Pando Fine Art 444 Main Street, Park City, UT, 84060. There will be an opening reception Friday August 29th 4pm-8pm with the artist.

Smith’s work turns salvaged, unrecyclable floppy diskettes into paintings that explore the visual lexicon of popular culture, time and nostalgia. Drawing from pop art’s historical use of reappropriated images, these paintings recontextualize our understanding of obsolete technology and the anonymous information they contain, bringing the past into the present moment to ask important questions about our digital identities and the materiality of contemporary painting. 

The new paintings in the exhibition include depictions of icons like rare collector automobiles and astronauts depicted as snow skiers—each acting as touchstones of culture throughout the decades. Whether referencing classic Hollywood stars, vintage muscle cars, or digital relics, Smith’s latest works ask what we choose to preserve—and what gets left behind—in the endless turnover of cultural memory.
