Description
|
|
|
|
Coming 30 years after his previous retrospective at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, What's It All Mean considers San Francisco artist William T. Wiley's entire 50-year career through 2008, including early canvases, watercolors from the 1960s, elaborate sculptural constructions like Nomad is an Island (1981), and his little-known films. Wiley's self-deprecating humor and sense of the absurd make his art accessible even to those who do not comprehend his more ambiguous ideas, personal symbols, and layers of meaning, while his liberal use of puns makes more palatable his serious commentary on war, pollution, global warming, racial tension, and other threats to contemporary civilization.
